That's an interesting share, pinhed old buddy. But it belongs in the
Carl Orff section


not in the John Williams section, cheers!

Are you saying they're not the same guy?

Maybe I'm thinking o Gustav Holst. Surely he's the same guy?

I always thought he was Korngold.

The first Korngold soundtrack I bought was "The Seahawk." The first time I gave the platter a spin, Mrs. Pinz was listening, and about 15 seconds into it she sez: "I know it's not by John Williams, cuz this is way to good to be by John Williams."

2 peas in a pod, I reckon. BTW, that's a kick-ass moviefilm. I hope you have Max Steiner's platter for DOGDE CITY.

I mean, wotta bunch of snobby bobbies. You gonna tell me the theme for Indianapolis Jones is rubbish?

Not following. What does snobbery have to do with film music likes and dislikes?

The Indian jones Theme--it's bugging me that I can't remember the tune Williams stole that from.

Do you remember? It was top 40 in it's day.

Got it--here's the source of the indian Jones theme:

HAPPINESS IS

To a preacher, it's a prayer, prayer, prayer
To the Beatles, it's a yeah, yeah, yeah
To a golfer, it's a hole in one
To a father, it's a brand new son

To a beatnik, it's his beard, beard, beard
To a monster, something weird, weird, weird
To a night owl, it's a good day's sleep
To the Yankees, it's a four-game sweep

On a desert, it's a drink, drink, drink
To a show girl, it's a mink, mink, mink
To a banker, lots and lots of dough
To a racer, it's a G.T.O., oh!

To a sailor, it's the sea, sea, sea
To my mother, why, it's me, me, me
To the birdies, it's the sky above
But to my mind, it's the one I love

And that's what Happiness is.

The hit song version is not on youtube, but the cigarette commercial version is. Williams probably got the theme from the commercial:
