I had no idea there was a full-length version of the theme from "Mad Men." Turns out there's a hip-hop producer who goes by RJD2, and he did a record with a rapper named Aceylone; he then made an instrumental-only version of the album. One of the tracks, "A Beautiful Mine," was picked up by AMC and edited into that now-familiar theme. Love it!
I'm afraid to listen to the version that has the rap, though. That just doesn't seem right, after hearing the non-rap version so much. It would be like if someone added lyrics for the theme to "The Simpsons." (Speaking of which, remember their adaptation of the "Mad Men" opening credits for the 2008 Treehouse of Horror episode ? Embedding has been disabled, but you can go to YouTube to see it.)
You can listen to the full-length recording of "A Beautiful Mine" here.
