'''Audio:''' The sounds of the TV in the opening scene (beginning with a TV host saying "On your big bonus question for..." before getting cut off when the man changes the channel), followed by some honking horns and city noises (or, in the short version, a whoosh, and the fog variant contains wind sounds) A piano/string chord is heard, which leads into a dramatic orchestral theme that gets progressively more tense. When the star explodes, phasing sounds are heard, culminating in a very loud, upbeat, almost disco-style horn-driven overture, ending with synth sweeps (representing the rays "inside" the "O"). Composed by Ferdinand J. Smith with a 65-man orchestra. | '''Audio:''' The sounds of the TV in the opening scene (beginning with a TV host saying "On your big bonus question for..." before getting cut off when the man changes the channel), followed by some honking horns and city noises (or, in the short version, a whoosh, and the fog variant contains wind sounds) A piano/string chord is heard, which leads into a dramatic orchestral theme that gets progressively more tense.

'''Audio Trivia:''' | '''Audio Trivia:''' There is a full length pop version of the theme, also composed by Ferdinand Smith, which was also the second part of the network's main theme song, known as "HBO Main Theme", also known as "The Fantasy", while the music, as heard above, albeit without sound effects, is the first part of that song. It was released in vinyl and cassette tape, with the latter only featured the instrumental vision and being given to radio listeners. The full album, entitled "HBO: Music Made for Television", including the full version of the network's main theme song, with and without vocals, can be heard [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v0KaMq_75d4 here]. | ||
