What is that song, it's been used in everything, on TV, in movies, etc etc. It's used to reveal something important/big/majestic. There are trumpets that play a long note, slowly building up to "BUM BUM!" And there are big booming drums. GOD this is bugging the crap out of me!

 

[LakeEarth]

[Gek54]

If it's being used everywhere, give us an example.

That was my thought.

What are more songs like this one while you guys are in here?

I believe you're referring to "All-Star", by the popular rock band Smashmouth.

 

[Dilbert]

Yeah, it's "Also Sprach Zarathustra" by Richard Strauss.

Another piece which is used similarly is Aaron Copeland's "Fanfare For The Common Man."

Thank you for not calling it the 2001 theme.

It's the Dragonheart theme and it's used in at least one trailer (for example The Young Black Stallion) everytime I see a movie in the cinema.

 

[Lucky Forward]

Also try Philip Glass' "Anthem" from the movie Powaqqatsi. It's been used on a number of movie trailers.

Thank you for not calling it the 2001 theme.

Yeah, I agree.

They should have called it the "Theme song that Elvis used to Come out to in the 70s"
