All Along the Watchtower


YouTuber Tretboot performed a bit of Bear McCreary's piano version of All Along the Watchtower (or Heeding the Call) for iPhone.

And JKolman1179 used the Mac music software Garageband to create this version:

Here's a little-known piece of BSG trivia. Prior to the selection of "All Along the Watchtower" as the Cylon Activation Theme", the show's producers were going to go with this popular song instead.

LOL.

I thought the original song was going to be this one...

General Boy said...

Nah! I wouldn't RickRoll my fellow BSG fans.

We need sheet music for this.

@General Boy: ROTFL xD It *is* funny.

BTW - Like the creator of the second movie, I think the scene with Kara, her Dad, piano and hardcore version of "All Along" was just the best one ever. Ever.

@ Justin

I will give you this tasty link, though.

@ General Boy

LMAO! I hadn't seen that one before!

Maybe it's because I remember when that song was released in the late 80's and think it's hilarious that it's become a practical joke, but I think Rickrolling is just as funny now as it was when I first heard of it. Thanks for the laugh.

@ Justin.

My pleasure.
