In Space No One Can Hear You Scream (Meta)

Meta Prompt
The answer to the meta is a song title
Noises in space movies/shows really annoy me. Pew pew! Kaboom! Bah humbug! Even a hard sci-fi show like "The Expanse" (which is absolutely excellent in every other respect and you should definitely watch it if you haven't already) falls afoul of this problem. So get stuck into this meta puzzle to find out: i) which show got it right, and ii) the answer to the meta which is a song title.

Check out "The MOAT Mini Pack of Marching Bands" here: https://www.ephesusscroll.com/about/interest4.html. US$5 gets you 7 Marching Bands which, hard enough on their own, now contain metas too. And once again there's a mega-meta!
