So this is Lalo Schifrin:
And let's face it, if you had the theme tune to Bullitt on an eternal loop in your head you'd look that cool too. Unfortunately you're constantly singing the song from the gocompare.com adverts.
This playlist contains all the obvious stuff you already know from Schifrin's work in film and telly like Mission: Impossible, Bullitt and his LITERALLY FACE-CRACKING Enter The Dragon theme, but I've also squeezed in a couple of extra cheeky tracks from the Dirty Harry score (not least because one of them's called Harry's Hot Dog), some other lesser-known stuff and his unbelievable jazz cover of John Barry's theme for the 1976 King Kong remake.
It's all very '70s, it's got six times the recommended daily allowance of wah-wah and it's the perfect soundtrack for that cocktail party you're throwing tonight. If you're not throwing a cocktail party tonight, WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?

SATURDAY PLAYLIST #22:
LALO SCHIFRIN
Want more playlists? I got more playlists.
Great playlist. A coktail party is a bit OTT.
ReplyDeletePerhaps there is another occasion you have in mind. April 2 is known for:
1982 Argentina seizes Malvinas, also known as the Falkland Islands...err..perhaps not
1978 Velcro was 1st put on the market (A rip off if you ask me)
1935 Sir Watson-Watt patents RADAR (Who invented the GAYDAR?)
1921 Albert Einstein lectures in New York City on his new theory of relativity
There was a young lady called Bright
Who traveled much faster than light
She started one day
In the relative way
And arrived the previous day.
I need a brain scan because the limerick don't scan. Last word is night not day.
ReplyDeleteThis limerick works better.
There was a young man from Kent
Whose tool was incredibly bent.
To save himself trouble
He put it in double
And instead of coming he went.
Never heard that King Kong theme cover before. Just when you think it can't get better.....in comes the jazz flute! Fantastic!
