I just saw this movie, like 2 weeks ago, and I must say that the inaccuracies infuriated me but that music kept me happy even when the facts were being ignored, now that I've heard this I give the movie a THUMBS UP! It's one cool tune.
I knew they made this record... I never knew who did it or what it was actually called. I knew the melody and the soundtrack music were the same so I figured it was one in the same... I just ran across your posting. I'm glad I found it, AWSOME!! Thanks!
The transfer that is still yet to beat is the amazing restoration on the French 2-disc special edition... The print is nearly flawless! However, the restoration got a little overzealous and ended up re-doing the opening credits and cutting out/replacing some of the most damaged shots with repeated footage... But that's like six seconds worth of alterations (not including the new credits font) in an otherwise amazing, vibrant, gorgeous print.
I saw an uncut version of this film (never saw a severely cut-up version). I don't know...sure it had its nudity, but had it looked more crisp in transfer, I would have just considered it the perfect historical film to watch if I wanted to see debauchery in Rome. Because honestly, who doesn't like hearing about the nutter Emperors they had time to time? Fall of the Roman Empire I would also recommend if you like that element in a film on Ancient Rome.
Nothing works better with a funky disco song than watching a Roman Emperor get strangeled to death.

EPIC SONG! It sounds like xanadu for some reason. I just watched The Cinemas Snob Review.

Muy independiente de que la canción disco sea o no sea cursi y sea o no sea grande, no es nada acorde con el tipo de filme que es 'Calígula'.
Prefiero cada cosa ponerla en su sitio y a cada cosa ponerle lo correspondido.

I kind of wish now that the cast would break out into a disco dance as an encore at the end of the film.

You can find it as a soundbyte on the special features disc in the new three disc set. There's also a vinyl, but it's really hard to find.
