I dug up some stuff on YouTube recently, including many uploaded videos of dinosaur-related tapes that I used to watch all the time as a kid, as I was a pretty obsessive dino-freak back in the day.
Naturally, most of these tapes come from the 80's, from the late 70's/early 80's dinosaur popularity boom, but my all-time favorites were the videos that starred the great Gary Owens and Eric Boardman as hosts of the show. It always stuck out to me how those shows (which included "Dinosaurs!", "More Dinosaurs", "Dinosaurs, Dinosaurs, Dinosaurs", "Prehistoric Creatures" (this one was more Ice Age), and "Son of Dinosaurs") seemed to have really memorable music.
But then I remembered something else...something from THE IMMEDIATE BEGINNING OF THE VIDEOS:
THE TWIN TOWER COMPANY LOGO OF DOOOOOOOOOM.
...Come to think of it, though, that thing never really scared me as a kid. I always just thought it sounded kind of cool and dramatic.
