   As I posted on 3/27/2000 in alt.fan.buffy-v-slayer   
   in response to someone else posting what he thought   
   were the "X-Files" lyrics but were ridiculous and   
   didn't even remotely fit the music:   
   ====   
   The real lyrics to the "X-Files" theme,   
   according to the composer, are:   
      
   "The X-Files is a show   
   With music by Mark Snow."   
      
   Really.  No kidding.   
      
   (Although since that covers only the first two lines,   
   I've filled out the full four by making it:   
      
   "The X-Files is a show   
   With music by Mark Snow.   
   Just thought you'd like to know.   
   That music's by Mark Snow.")   
   ====   
   [And I first knew of him when he was still Martin   
   Fulterman with the NY Rock & Roll Ensemble and came   
   up with the goofy lyrics to go with Manos Hadjidakis's   
   memorable tune, "Kemal".]
