How about the Firefly theme?
McFly — (archived)

...could you have possibly imagined it as the theme for a science fiction TV show?

I really liked the Enterprise theme. (Probably comes as no surprise to anyone who's read my other posts in this thread.) I should qualify that by saying the season 1 and 2 theme. They meddled with it for season 3 and 4, to its detriment.

I thought it fit, though, because E wasn't as "grand" as the other shows, intentionally. It was about first steps. Humanity was the new kid on the block, venturing into deep space with a single fragile starship. I think the theme in part helped tie these characters more closely to our own age...terran interstellar travel still had the edge of pop music, not the sophistication of a symphony, so to speak.

Incidentally, though, I thought the Firefly theme fit the show and the characters extremely well. Won't find me criticizing the BDS.
