It's March 27, from red carpets to breaking stories, this is entertainment and celebrity news powered by AI. A TikTok video from the account, simply nostalgia, went viral this week, sharing a clip from a 2010 Channel 7 news bulletin in Perth. It featured a fuel watch report showing unleaded petrol at an average of 123.9 cents per liter. That's a huge drop compared to today's sky high prices during the National Fuel Crunch. Viewers didn't focus much on the cheap gas though. Instead, they raved about the background music from that era, saying it beats the current news themes hands down. Commenters flooded the post with memories, describing how the tune transported them back to childhood dinners in front of the TV or visits to. Grandparents houses, many called it a total earworm that still gives them chills. The track is the mission, composed by John Williams, the guy behind Star Wars scores. He wrote it for NBC News in the United States back in 1985, and Channel 7 star using it

for their bulletins in 1998. Remixes came and went over the years, including a punchy version from 2004 to 2014 and another stint until 2000. 16, even now, an update to take on that classic keeps playing nightly, proving the old sound still rules for fans.
