Title Screen is the song that plays at the title screen of Days of Thunder (NES). It was written by Tania Smith and plays at a tempo of 90 BPM.

Tania wrote the music in Brian Post's version of the NYNTH sound driver using Music Macro Language.

Composition

The song starts with a bassline from the triangle channel, accompanied with drums from the noise channel. When the two square waves enter, the intro played is an uncanny resemblance to the Peter Gunn Theme. However, the next part of the song bears a strong resemblance to a song from Dash Galaxy in the Alien Asylum (NES), also composed by Tania.
