It seems nearly all the fans loved the song in S&D. I found some information on it's origins. “The song is an original arrangement of a gospel spiritual called ‘Samson and Delilah,’ composed by the Rev. Gary Davis. The track is performed by Shirley Manson and arranged and produced by Bear McCreary … specifically … to fit the episode’s opening sequence.” For those who don’t realize, Bear McCreary is the composer for Battlestar Galactica, and has been the genius behind everything from that show’s opening credits to the adaptation of “All Along the Watchtower” used in the Season 3 finale. So I’m thrilled to hear that he’ll be scoring this show." toomuchfreetime.net/sci-fi-fantasy/sarah-connor-chronicles/sarah-connor-season-2/samson-and-delilah/Josh explains in the podcast that the song was covered by several artists. The Grateful Dead version is the best known. Springsteen performed it once. some people reported issues playing this in Firefox. You need Quicktime to play it in Firefox. Or, (even better) right click on the link and use "save link as" Then you can play it with GOM or VLC fox.com/terminator/_media/features/podcasts/201Podcast.mp3

Yeah, I remember someone from her posting the entire story behind Samson & Delilah. It was very interesting stuff.
