Saturday Playlist #22: Lalo Schifrin

I realise it's nearly a month since the last Saturday Playlist, but since there have been no reported deaths caused by lack of Saturday Playlists in the last few weeks I'm assuming it's no biggie. Anyway it's back - BACK, I SAY! - and it's BETTER THAN EVER! Actually it's not, it's exactly the same as it used to be.

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?
