I still make the transforming sound whenever the word is spoken.

I still make the transforming sound whenever the word is spoken.

Sometimes when I use a folding chair or something I'll do it

 

[HCGLNS]

And I do it slow or fast depending upon my mood.

Like a slow and depressed "vwomp-wom-wom-womp" on a bad day?

 

[HCGLNS]

More of a "chee; choo, choo, choo; chee"

Seems like one of those sound bites that lends itself to being made into a text tone.

It probably does exist as that, but thats not as fun as saying it out loud.

I got recommended that too. I kind of hate he uses the Rhino DVD release version of the intro with a lot of added PEW and POW noises added on top.

 

[PatrThom]

Huh. I didn't realize they'd Lucas'd up the different releases.

Cocaine. The answer is lots and lots of cocaine. It was the early 80's, after all.

I've always assumed that the video production team just chopped up/looped the beginning of the theme to fit the run time of the credits. I always did that kind of stuff when I was making commercials at the radio station, though I usually found ways to make it sound better than a record skipping, with things like crossfading and picking better parts of the song (that was a really awkward spot to loop back to start), and so on and so forth.

This discussion reminds me of the mystery time signature of the Terminator theme.
