Regardless of which version you like -- 1978, 1986, 2000 or 2003. The 1978 ABSOLUTELY has the best and most memorable theme song. I guarantee you won't forget it after hearing it once. IMHO, TVB/ATV theme songs and even accompanying songs went downhill after the late 70s and very early 80s.

I agree that the song is the most memorable epic song that today's production series lack of.
