    I'd like to boldly suggest...

    I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered. My life is my own.

    I am not a number, I am a free man.

        It was, and I suspect it brought many to the attention of this work. I remember someone joking - “Rachmaninov composed two symphonies: the 2nd and the 3rd”.

            Strangely haunting since the 60s... Gave me a lifelong penchant for French horn counter-melodies
            "...the isle is full of noises,
            Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
            Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
            Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

              Not the theme tune. It accompanied the camera travelling through the ‘Gallery’ of viewer-submitted artwork
              "...the isle is full of noises,
              Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.

                Amazing opening sequence... sometimes I think there'll never be better TV than True Detective... Still cry thinking of the last line in TD1 - "​if you ask me, the light's winnin..."..... (Matthew McConaughey as Rust Cole).

                  This has been a real earworm since we watched the series earlier this year (apologies if there is an advert at the beginning, I don't know how to get rid of those or even if that's possible):

                    The Flashing Blade was a good one too. Or so it seemed at the time.......

                      Jacky Lee had a good thing going with children's theme tunes, there was also Rupert the Bear.

                        Champion the Wonder Horse - though Rebel the dog seemed to do most of the hard work as I recall.

                            I'll never forget the devastating impact of the Clannad theme over the end credits of the final episode of Harry's Game, after such an unpredictably downbeat denouement.....nobody wins......
