   8 I have recently found out that the Futurama__ opening__ theme__ was inspired in
   9 a very old *experimental* song by the French musicians `Pierre Henry`__ and
  10 `Michel Colombier`__. The original song is called `Psyché Rock`__, was
  11 created in 1967 and interpreted using bells, percussion, zithers and electronic
  12 music!
