- Theme Music to the hit Mini Series V. These Two Tracks are Titled Main Theme by Barry De Vorzon & Final Battle Theme and are by Dennis McCarthy. Dennis took over the FINAL BATTLE scoring chores from Barry De Vorzon around the middle of the production.
Kids today fail to realize just how huge the "V" franchise was back in the day. I can remember us kids raving about it in the schoolyard and how it was the television event of our time. To us it was as big as Star Wars.
Oh hell yeah!!! I even remember the big promotion they had at the time before it debuted. All you saw was this huge V and you didn’t know what it meant. That miniseries was the BIGGEST thing out at the time. Wasn’t it crazy that the sweet alien Willie became Freddie Kruger?? Lol!

Didn’t they have a digital Nazi symbol ?
@@GeneralIzod355ml It's not quite the same, yet very much an allegory of the symbol as are the alien's uniforms and their society in general.
I was that kid in the 80s who loved this show. I even was expelled from Catholic School over how much I loved this show.
Haven't heard this theme for a long time. Instant chills.
+Jane Doe You took the words out of mouth!! Blessings

hi
hi!!
Gets better with age!
Kane doe......DITTO.
2023 and still gives me chills
Terminator main soundtrack seems to have taken cues from this intro
2024 and its still giving me chills and stuck in my head just like when I first saw this in 2002
This theme used to creep me out when I was kid and it still does today. Damn, absolutely timeless!
Yeah, think about what it meant. The take over of humankind.
It was a terrifying spectacle.
Glad I saw it originally!
This was so damn scary
Brings back the nostalgia! Damn the things we had during our childhood!
Everything went harder in the 80's.
It was surreal.
Feel that 80's flow through you!!!
2:02
And to this day it still flows.
oh yeah!
The 80s and the 2020's, we lived something similar with the false-pandemic and the terror campagne to be poisoned by those "vaccines"
This song has lived rent-free in my head for decades.
no kidding. me too. and I'm 51 now. you can't forget it.
Still epic in 2023
80s kids!!! We had the best childhood!!!👌
Definitely YES, man ! 😉
We sure did! 📼
After the 70's of course.👍
What a sound! A masterpiece!💕💕💕💕💕
Hell yea! 👍
I remember being a kid when the original mini series and this one came out. I loved it so much. It was probably some of the best sci fi ever. I wanted to be Donovan.
me also..i wanted to be like him
Me too
hobbs1701a The original was and will always be SUPERIOR to the horrible 2010 tv show that was a disaster!
mrfrogbutt1 True statement
hobbs1701a fuck yes mike donovan rules!
I can still remember the impact this show had on me as a kid growing up in Los Angeles! Especially this intro and music. Felt like if I walked outside there would be a gigantic ship hovering above the city!
Mountain Man so true .. totally agree with you ...I used to see the propaganda posters in downtown LA as a kid - - so it made a huge impact and impression on me as well - 👾
V also had a major impact on my life as a child growing up in the 1980s back then. As a child back then, I would look up at the sky imagining seeing a huge mothership, as portayed on V, in real life.
In a few more years....
And this series happened long enough ago, that the events could have happened, and like with other things, people would have only vague recollections, if at all. Delete the media tapes and newspaper microfilms from the period, and viola.
This series was played in Pakistan as well and had the similar effect on the kids of this country. And yes, Diana was my crush too ... lolz
When I first saw V I was in my teens and have always loved the Final Battle music - I now have it as my ringtone.
Way creepier than the regular theme song.
Still gives me the chills in 2020.
It was the prediction.
Still give me the heebee gee bee's in 2023 ...40 years later was 10 when 1st saw this..May 1983..loved it
This is such an intense, ominous opening... it continues to send chills through me every time I listen to it. V! Forever! The original!
Loved this series so so so much as a young child, why ? Because it was very believable. awesome theme tune too.
Brillant score one of the best themes, from any series I've seen classic timeless.
.....Yeah,but I can't help but wonder if it was influenced by Peter Gabriel's song 'Rhythm of The Heat'......
Exactly
This show was awesome.
The theme was totally sublime.
The original V is such a cult classic
Yes. Could causes panic scenes, i do get still.
W Diana e Mike Donovan e Jane badler e Marc singer vvtb brothers 💕
i wish they would make a new series but with the same subtlety and suspense of the original series (not that shitty remake of the 2000s)
@@4exgold In today's political climate, that'd be impossible.
yes sir
This theme song still sends chills down my spine... flashbacking on my youth, loved this show back then, and this theme song!
I was 11 in '83 when this first aired. a show way ahead of it's time and the theme still pops into my head now and again. you can't forget it.
Such a haunting, brilliantly done theme.
This song used to have me terrified as hell of alien reptilians coming to earth.
My favourite sci-fi series of all time, classic and still watch them every now & again.
Now, go & tell your friends!
The best theme for the best sci fi series when I was a kid. V was awesome!
Great theme! Gives me chills.I used to think it was composed by John Carpenter as it sounded very similar to his music.
Christine's theme
Of the three composers who contributed the music of the two mini-series, Barry De Vorzon’s was by FAR the best! Peace.
What an epic production
Even the music changed on intros and this was a dark reminder of the final episode...way beyond its time when it hit tv in mid 80s i believe
Gives me chills every time I hear this. Favorite scene is Donovan running in slow motion onboard the Mothership being chased by Visitor troops
Yes! I can hear the weapons firing now.
my fave scene too
2010 v series was a big let down
YES! That dream sequence. What a chilling opening!
so many great scenes, hard to pick a fave. I think Diana eating the parakeet was a classic moment
After all these years, THIS IS STILL ONE OF THE SCARIEST THEME SONGS EVER! I still watch & love it, I hope to pass it on to the next generation - minus the 2009 ABC TV version. (If you were going to work one day & that ship emerged over your house, revealing THEM, what would you do?) SCARY!!! LOL!
Prasana Hiwale you're right ! I have almost goosebump listening to it !
Prasana Hiwale
Not being funny good cast for 2010 V
Series let down by s**t script by ABC
no doubt. I remember being a little kid and watching the final battle live, and hearing that music and getting chills, but nothing compared to the birth of the alien child plot twist- as cheesy as it was, as a little kid it freaked me out and i still love it
👍✔true it is scary.
One of my favorite cult 80s Serieses , so iconic and still love it to this day . Never gets dull , the final battle music . Is fantastic too , brilliant theme . For a superb series. 😄
awesome music.. quite haunting. loved this show as a kid
I swear. My girl Diana always dodged those stun guns😂
i had a cassette that followed me for decades. this theme was the first music on it but i had forgotten what it was. for decades i tried to find out what it was and when i found this... i nearly passed out. finally! after all these years i now remember!
I’m not a kid from the 80’s, but my dad showed me this movie one day and it became all I would ever talk about
Damn I can't believe this is going to be 35 next year.
It's 35!
@Big Al V the original is 37 The Final Battle is 36
In the words of *Yoda* , Kids we were....
2:02
great show-awesome memories to watch this as a child.
When I was a young boy in the early 80s watching this for the first time give me chills...now today I buy the series on dvd🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
I love V so much it reminds me growing up in the 1980s I was in school then and my brother recorded most episodes that I missed on TV brings back memories a great show.
It’s so amazing to listen this theme more than 30 years later. I remember when the kids in school just talked about V and i said that Diana was so beautiful and that i loved her Aja .....gracias !!
I still get a shiver from this tune, so simple but so effective
incredible how i still remember this musics... i born in 1981 i was very young when i saw this on TV :)
The theme from "V" was massively influential on UFO documentaries later, probably including Unsolved Mysteries.
Love the themes,I used to live with Michael Ironside at the time of this show,left his breakfast out for him a few times,he loved cornflakes and a hard boiled egg,so next time you see ham Tyler no that his fuelled from my breakfasts.
seesnap cool
One of the coolest things I've heard!!
I loved Ham Tyler, full of attitude!
Pics or never fucking happened!
As the little girl said ham sandwich
David Webb 😂😂
Best Sci-fi of the 80s, got some OST picture cds years ago. Not seen them online today. Great theme tunes..
I was hypnotized to this as a kid
ME TOO....LIKE SO MANY
Diana's message to mankind "when we return, it won't be child's play"
Greetings from Scotland - Uk Only have one word to say about V >> CLASSIC
Une très belle série que je n'oublierais jamais.
good ones.
💕💕🙌🏼🙌🏼💯❗️❗️
Amazing music. It reminds me when I watched it being a kid, almost a baby... Great show!!👏👏
Love the beat of this theme song its so catchy
Haunting tune....superb!!!!!!!
V for Victory
Yes it was one of the best scenes in the pilot movie. Love it. Compared to this the series really had lost it´s drive. To compare it to John Carpenter is an idea to think about.
"Go tell your friends."
V for visitors
@@karazor-el9596 v visitor e giusto,👍
La série était super belle j'adorais les épisodes et les films qu'est-ce qu'elle me manque cette série et j'aime la musique.... Diana Donovan Julie Tyler exetera ❤❤❤
It was amazing couldn't wait for the next episode and the theme tune was fantastic.
Yeah, and you literally had to be in front of the tv on the right day at the right time or you’d miss the episode 😂
Wasn't this the film / miniseries theme tune?
I thought the TV show had a different tune.
This is what dread sounds like.
AWESOME instrumentation that fit perfectly with the TV series of V here!
The best TV series Intro music ever
Love the way from 3:06 it goes from 80's low cost TV music into cinematic orchestral mix. Very classy.
La première partie est meilleure et dans tout les esprits.
Great ambient electronic techno score!
This was such a good series back then!
V the greatest sci fi show of all time
False.
@@Cukito4 You are a filthy scientist, aren't you?
@@Awelbeckk False. A devious scientist.
@@Cukito4 Well you talk like one of them.
It’s up there . Millennium of the late 90s was the best ever ....
Was glued to this show back in the day and it still holds up today. It was one of those shows where I always enjoyed the opening intro and the end credits.
Man the main title theme was dark and chilling!!!
This was everything back in the day, me and my family was pressed about "V" the music especially different, but edgy. It had you excited to watch it. Also, Buck Rogers, Wonder Woman, Solid Gold, Fame, The Love Boat, Laverene & Shirley, Gimme A Break, Facts of Life, Taxi, Different Strokes.. Love these shows. :)
I heard this for the first time ever when I was like 8 years old or so... awesome track.
Brilliant theme always loved this, and a classic series brilliant.
V Main Title & Final Battle Theme
Cette série était l'une de mes préférées quand j'étais petite. Je l'ai vu super jeune. ça passait souvent sur m6 et mes cousines beaucoup pus vieilles que moi regardaient ça. ça m'intriguait donc, j'ai suivi. Je devais avoir 6, 7 ou 8 ans, je ne sais plus. J'adorais mais en même temps j'avais un peu peur! La musique du générique m'a profondément marquée. V, c'est vraiment super!
Best ever! Riveting and terrifying at the same time!
HYPNOTIC AND POWERFUL INTRO SONG 💪🏆 THE BEST SERIES EVERRRR 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
V siiiiiiiii gracias gracias que recuerdos 😁 saludos desde España spain
I love This theme and This series
wow brings back chills from my childhood ...stunning
This theme still has a very haunting feel .I can remember first watching this at like 8 years old and being creeped out but intrigued at the same time!
Though it never occurred to me at the time, the V Main Title Theme - which I have always loved - seems touched by Carpenter's Escape From New York theme (also great!).
I always thought this sounded like John Carpenter too! Thanks for pinning down the similarity to EFNY.
Je suis à me refaire toute la série. J'adore.
One of the best series and theme tunes. Miss those days.
i dont know how popular this show was worldwide but in Sweden it became an obsession. All the cast became verywell known in Sweden. Shit it was all we talked about in school when i was younger. Then again, at that time we only had 2 state channels so everyone saw the same shows
+Galimah It was quite popular here in America for several years, but burned out quickly after that.
In Argentina (5 channels) it was MASSIVE. It´s the only thing we talked about those weeks in school. And Robotech, of course.
Still a badass theme I'm glad I was a kid in the 80s.❤😊
Best serie ever
One of the best tv themes ever from a decade full of amazing theme tunes. Absolutely haunting
For those that might still be playing XCOM 2, listen to this theme before starting a game. Guarantee you'll get the chills - the game's the closest you will ever get to playing a squad of Resistance fighters against the Visitors.
Yeah, its an obvious inspiration,. They even have the same distorted voices when the bellow at you. There should be a proper V mod imho
@@charly03090309Let me tell you the idea of the Visitors having things like Sectopods is flat out terrifying.
@@ArchTeryx00 You think Michael Ironside gives a crap about Sectopods? He has special ammo for that too (bluescreen rounds). Him and his beardy mate. Two man team.
@@charly03090309 Good poiint. If that dude had an X-COM 2 equvalent he'd pretty much make mincemeat of all the reguiar Visitor troops and probably quite a few of the elites as well.
@@ArchTeryx00 :)
I loved this theme music still very special all these years later... Thx for putting this on TH-cam
1 of the best tv series around great story lines and haunting music
Always loved this tune... chills!!! V rocked!!!
Makes me think of John Carpenter.
and Peter Gabriel : "the rythm of the heat".
i wouldnt be surprised if he was influenced by V himself for They Live though theyre both awesome
Man, hearing this just takes me back to watching this phenomenal series when it first aired TV! Oh and Diana! 😲😳 I have the series on DVD and I plan to start watching it at some point! 👍🏾😁
What I love about this theme is just how it encapsulates the idea of an alien presence enslaving humanity while draining their resources dry. It's terrifying, ominous, and the almost tribal cadence makes it sound like the war music of an army. They are legion, and humanity is on the back foot. It's chilling and perfect for the show.
That's what's going on in the world right now...😎They Live😎
@@Black-Pill-7411
I like to believe that most of the instruments are representative of the overall outside threats before us as a species, and the drums themselves represent the human spirit of rebellion, the spirit of resistance, the will to be free.
As evolved as we like to think we are, we're still tribal animals. Pack animals, social animals, we've always maintained our survival through community, and we've always achieved community through music; specifically rhythmic beats...
Yes the tribal cadence....it incorporates many different cultures....together as one!
Yeah, you get that vibe in a fair few musical themes in sci fi.@@danmccaffrey2157
The resistance!!! V for visitors, or is it for victory!?
One of the most brilliant yet simple intro scores!
This is an amazing theme tune. Quite simple but wracked up the tension waiting for the episode to start!
Just got the whole V collection box ✌️😎gonna relive my Childhood 😎✌️
Best serie, song,actors of every 80' s !
France 2021!😉✌
Loved the series and didn't miss a single episode back in the 80s. It's almost 2023 and I can still hum the catchy theme tune. Never forgotten it. Or the series for that matter.
This always sounded like a Peter Gabriel song to me. Very cool music!
Holy shit it does 🤣🤣
"The Rhythm Of The Heat"
My FAVOURITE show from my childhood- loved the theme song more and absolutely hated when I got back from swim team practice too late and missed this fantastic score.
Two Words....
Faye Grant....
Girl Hero holding a blaster has never been more Hot since Carrie fisher pioneered it.
I remember staying up past 2am to record the 5-part miniseries movie on VHS. Ahhh, memories of better days.
This intro song!
This is Nostalgia at its peak for me!
My father user to yell at me to turn the teve volume down cause I went nuts maxxing this song out!
Tks for the post Zero. awesome post. Use to watch this series every day, and I still got Tapes with the series.
Jane badler was good looking in her day
sea kelly yes
I prefer, Faye Grant, very pretty sexy as hell, better looking than Jane Badler!
That ass 👍
I masterbaited a lot in this TV mini series
Still is
One of the best series!!!
Even today, this theme still sends chills down my spine and an adrenaline rush at the intensity, the determination of the resistance and of the sinister nature of the Visitors. The remake? nothing.
