* BreakawayPopHit: The film version spawned one of the more convoluted examples. The score by Perry Botkin, Jr. and Barry [=DeVorzon=] has one particular piano[=/=]orchestra-based underscore piece that plays during Cotton's DreamSequence at the start of the film, appropriately called "Cotton's Dream". Two years later, Botkin recorded a slightly rearranged version that was used as the InstrumentalThemeTune for ''Series/TheYoungAndTheRestless''. Then in 1976, ''Series/WideWorldOfSports'' used the song to score gymnast Nadia Comăneci's floor routines in their highlights of that year's Summer Olympics (Comăneci didn't actually use the music herself). This RevivalByCommercialization led to "Cotton's Dream" getting renamed "Nadia's Theme" and getting released as a single, hitting the ''Billboard'' Top 10 in the US. Ultimately the music is still associated more with ''Series/TheYoungAndTheRestless'' than anything else.
