God, that opening is so completely different from the show. How did they decide to put that song with that series?
But man, it is a good song.
I know. And it's certain that it's not an accident because of the blatant foreshadowing. If the reason why it's so happy and upbeat is that it's supposed to sooth in anticipation of subsequent trauma, then it's certainly effective in its purpose. Even afterward, there's a certain sense of euphoria in listening to it; maybe this would have been a better test case for Pavlov?
Fully agreed that it's an amazingly done piece of music in its own right as well.
