Okay, this is the big day. Our great myLotter Daddy Evil is a notorious music non-geek; however, he has known the songs I’ve used from movies the last two days in a row. Do I hear three???? Let’s find out with today’s favorite from a film.
The Pink Panther Theme - Henry Mancini
You know the worst thing about this song? It doesn’t have a name other than “The Pink Panther Theme.” No “Rhapsody in Pink” or “Mancini’s March” or anything cool. Nope, it’s just “The Pink Panther Theme.”
But it’s served us so well for the past 60 years, hasn’t it? From the series of films to the cartoon to Owens-Corning fiberglass, it’s one of those great, great themes.
Now the kicker: this song wasn’t nominated. The entire score to the movie was nominated for an Oscar (losing to Mary Poppins), but this song didn’t make the cut. What were they thinking??? (Oh, this isn’t the last time I say this in the countdown….
)
Henry Mancini was one of the great theme song and movie score masters of our time. He passed away in 1994. Plas Johnson is the saxophonist on the song, and he’s still with us, at the age of 91.
The song will always be with us.
The Pink Panther Theme
Written by Henry Mancini
Recorded by Henry Mancini
From The Pink Panther, 1963

@DaddyEvil — no, no words. Just lyrics.
(No, it’s an instrumental.)

@FourWalls 
I do have a question, though. Are there actual words to that because if there are, I've never heard them.
Thanks.

@daddyevil congrats I see your three in a row here!
It’s definitely a them song I think most people could recognize. Just seeing the title I had the sound of it going through my head.

Thanks, I think... I got the feeling Four Walls was lining up stuff that I HAD to have heard, whether I "knew" them or not.

Strange to have a pink person on a day to wear green, but…..

Today’s is very well known. That probably means he won’t know it.

You see one Pink Panther movie, you’ve seen ‘em all. But I’m with you, the theme is great.

@FourWalls Maybe that's why they never resonated with me, all the same

I can’t argue with that. His track record won’t allow anyone to argue with it!

I think the cartoon character is cute, but I rarely watched it. No dialog in them.

Mancini was a master; and I love this song. I'm a big fan of the musicals from the 60s and thereabouts.

I don’t know what impresses me more, you knowing it or the thought of having a streak with DaddyEvil.

It’s one of Mancini’s classic movie themes.
