Part two. When science-fiction writer Theodore Sturgeon was asked why 90% of science fiction was crap (or crud, in one version), he replied, "90% of everything is crap," thus formulating what has become known as Sturgeon's Law. In youtube, that percentage seems a little low, as one searches for an elusive video, only to come up with countless amateur performances digitally immortalized, or the song recorded over a picture of the artist--as happened when I tried to find a video of Cat Stevens doing "Here Comes My Baby."
So when searching for "The Shape of Things to Come," not only did I get the Wild in the Streets Version (as well as clips from William Cameron Menzies's move version of H. G. Wells's novel of the same name), I found this compilation video done by Heroes fan StevieOh: stills from the series displayed during a recording of the Mann-Weil song done by the Ramones.
And it works.
I have no idea if the song is used in the show--I've never seen it. But this makes me want to see the show, and seems to capture its spirit, from the little I know of it. StevieOh calls it "Something I threw together during the March-April hiatus," but it seems to be that elusive bit of gold that it's possible to find in the effluvial river that is youtube. I hope NBC doesn't pull this video off of youtube, because it's made one person ready to go out and buy the DVD when it's released.
