hey, since we're at it. i have a question. at the end of the academy awards ceremony, a theme was played. it's a glamorous theme, it gives you that feel. maybe you remember it. as soon as the ceremony was over, this theme was played. and it'S not the one from terminator. i dont thinks it'S listed in the message above.
if someone here is from germany, that same theme is played or was played in the intro of the bullyparade.

can anyone here help me out, it's a theme i wanted for very long. the name and artist, i gotta get it
