    Mark Snow, 'X-Files,' 'Ghost Whisperer,' 'Blue Bloods' Composer, Dies at 78

    Mark Snow, the veteran television composer who turned "The X-Files" theme into
    an unlikely chart hit in the 1990s, died Friday at his home in Connecticut. He was 78.

    A 15-time Emmy nominee, he not only scored more than 200 episodes of Chris Carter's spooky Fox series (and both its big-screen incarnations, all starring David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson), he also provided the music for other series including "Hart to Hart," "T.J. Hooker," "Smallville," "The Ghost Whisperer" and "Blue Bloods."

    As I posted on 3/27/2000 in alt.fan.buffy-v-slayer
    in response to someone else posting what he thought
    were the "X-Files" lyrics but were ridiculous and
    didn't even remotely fit the music:
    ====
    The real lyrics to the "X-Files" theme,
    according to the composer, are:

    "The X-Files is a show
    With music by Mark Snow."

    Really. No kidding.

    (Although since that covers only the first two lines,
    I've filled out the full four by making it:

    "The X-Files is a show
    With music by Mark Snow.
    Just thought you'd like to know.
    That music's by Mark Snow.")
    ====
    [And I first knew of him when he was still Martin
    Fulterman with the NY Rock & Roll Ensemble and came
    up with the goofy lyrics to go with Manos Hadjidakis's
    memorable tune, "Kemal".]
