The song that plays when Luke is burning Vader's body. Can't remember what it's called.

Old but very awesome news. I wish my a cappella group could do this, but it wouldn't work with our audience

i dont recall it...

anyway, either the raiders theme, or the celebration at the end of ANH when they're getting their medals and such(with transitions into end credits.)

i guess those are tied for first, which makes the jurassic park theme a solid 3rd place.

John Williams is a musical genius and Star Wars would be nothing but a bunch of explosions without him. Same with Indiana Jones.
Far too often do i find myself humming one or another theme of his.

Agreed. However, has he really made any memorable music beside the Harry Potter theme since the turn of the century? Hans Zimmers seems to be dominating the movie soundtrack industry now days.

I'm fairly sure the Harry Potter theme actually borrows from Schindler's List.

nope.

I like a whole lot of John Williams stuff. I like the Star Wars Original Trilogy stuff the best. The non-SW stuff goes like this (more or less):

Jurassic Park
Raiders of the Lost Ark
Saving Private Ryan - stunningly beautiful piece, but you have to crank it up really loud
Seven Years in Tibet - if you're careful, you can catch a little bit that I think was used in the Prequels somewhere
Close Encounters Suite
Olympic Fanfare
Summon The Heroes (the other Olympic music) - couldn't find a good quality version - yay water!
Home Alone (Somewhere In My Memory)
Jaws
E.T.

Btw here's the "original" (the one by Corey in the OP is a lipsync of a recording of these guys [Moosebutter])

"Original" refers to who sung the song (both in this video and in Corey's video)
