Then back to the Canadian news once the theme is over.

Here's a video of John Williams re-recording the theme 22 years ago. It still sounds great.

I bet you haven't heard THIS Gilligan's Island theme: https://youtu.be/qx7A4sxJi7c?si=eA8Fi8YqkI0POlaU

It's awesome too. Holy mackerel, can John Williams ever write for brass. We are so lucky to have him around soundtracking everything.
