Actually the song is by Bernie Leadon, it WAS recorded by the Eagles for One of These Nights, but all of the information on this page can be found either on the One of These Nights pages already, or on the main page for The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. I see no need for the song to receive its own article. --JohnDBuell | Talk 15:20, 14 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It's been two months. I've incorporated all the good trivia into the One of These Nights article, everything else is in one of the Hitchhiker's articles already. Changing this to a redirect. --JohnDBuell | Talk 04:54, 12 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

added back these comments for historical purposes, as this is no longer a redirect. x=42.69.216.101.196 (talk) 21:01, 17 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

... that the theme tune to The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is actually an Eagles song? Source: "The radio programme for Radio 4 and the TV show, adapted from the Monty Python-esque novels of Douglas Adams, used the same theme tune, specially chosen by the author himself. The surprise for many, perhaps, is the the fact it's an instrumental track by the Eagles, written by founding member Bernie Leadon." ([1])

Hi Ritchie! A treat to read, on very nice sources with a hooky hook—definitely made me want to read the entry! My only question would be about which term to bold in the hook. Initially I thought somehow the encyclopedia had gone until now without an entry on theme tunes as a genre, and that that’s what your entry would be about. But maybe that just adds to the intrigue of the hook and should stay—what do you think? All else in place, QPQ, no copyvio, long enough, recent enough. Great DYK.

I think either "theme tune" or "Eagles song" could be bold linked to the article, don't mind which. Ritchie333 ^(talk) ^(cont) 10:18, 5 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Super. Have added the other option but I’m torn myself now. Maybe the first version was “hookier”. I’ll leave both and let you or the promoter pick, both work for me. Innisfree987 (talk) 15:50, 5 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
