I like the anti-theft device of the ship, a flute.*
*wtf
In brief (and I think this deserves it's own thread) the musical instruments of Prometheus are quite on purpose. The Engineers flute activating the ship and Janek's accordion are parallels to be sure. (Not to mention his selection of "O Come, All Ye Faithful." Which ties into the film quite nicely.
Greek Gods Apollo, and Dionysus, are associated with music and of course
ORPHEUS, whose music had the ability to cause inanimate objects to move and influence the forces of Hades.
