I’m playing along with Sarah from Art Expedition again and as her choice today was a song from a favourite movie I thought I would do the same. I picked “The Blue Brothers” and as I had a hard time deciding which of the great songs in the movie to feature I decided to have two and they are both theme tunes, a sort of theme within a theme.
The first one is “Peter Gunn”. David absolutely loved this because he had a version of it on an old Henry Mancini album. I think he used to watch the show before I knew him too. Anyway, I can’t hear “Peter Gunn” and not think of David.
The second one is the theme from “Rawhide” which came from one of our favourite parts of the movie. The Bob’s Country Bunkhouse scenes. I remember this theme very well because when we lived in England mum used to love “Rawhide” which starred a young Clint Eastwood as Rowdy Yates. I’ve chosen the scene from the movie which features a bit of “Gimme Some Lovin” as well. I must say I think the crowd at Bob’s had poor taste not to enjoy that but they only liked two kinds of music, country and western.

Rawhide. I still laugh just THINKING about it!
The boys used to do a show at the Blue Brothers Cafe in Cambridge and I took Garry to it for one of his birthdays. They sang for him. It was very cool!

Great music, great characters and who doesn’t like seeing the Illinois Nazis come to a sticky end.

One of my absolute favourite movies — and two great songs from it. I did think about putting this version of Rawhide on my list, but then thought maybe “Think” or “Minnie the Moocher”. So far, I’ve just gone in other directions altogether.

I considered “Think ” too because I thought Aretha Franklin was fantastic in that movie and the sequel and had such a great voice. There was so much good music in the The Blues Brothers.
