Lauren GarroniHOST
'Cause if you notice, it's not mentioned at all.
Lauren GarroniHOST
They lean heavily into Henry Mancini, who performed the music, and I think this is why we get this monologue of Big talking about his parents.
Chelsea FairlessHOST
Totally.
Lauren GarroniHOST
'Cause in Michael Patrick King's mind, this scene is more about also playing up the age difference between Carrie and Big, which is one of those things that I learned after the fact was a big conversation point, but I've always just sort of gone with.
Jim HillHOST
Uh, in fact, there, there, there's this, this, this wonderful piece of music that's used for the, the chase finale of the film that just feels like it came straight out of, uh, that era in cinema history, and it's, it's funny, it's boisterous.
Jim HillHOST
Uh, but h- here's the thing, Eric, uh, it was written by a then 28-year-old Henry Mancini, who, uh, you undoubtedly know.
Jim HillHOST
I mean, Henry Mancini is the guy, for example, who wrote The Pink Panther theme.
Eric HerseyHOST
Mm.
Eric HerseyHOST
Yeah.
Jim HillHOST
Uh, who wrote, you know, the song Moon River, who, you know, took home four Academy Awards over his career.
Jim HillHOST
You know, he was a, a musical giant, but when he was just a kid, he got hired by Universal to, to write music for their, their movies.
Jim HillHOST
So, you know, I mean, Henry Mancini did music for, you know, The Creature From The Black Lagoon.
Jim HillHOST
It was written.
Jim HillHOST
by a then 28-year-old Henry Mancini, who you undoubtedly know.
Jim HillHOST
I mean, Henry Mancini is the guy, for example, who wrote the Pink Panther theme, who wrote the song Moon River, who took home four Academy Awards over his career.
Jim HillHOST
You know, he was a musical giant, but when he was just a kid, he got hired by Universal to write music for their movies.
Jim HillHOST
So, you know, I mean, Henry Mancini did music for, you know, The Creature from the Black Lagoon.
Jim HillHOST
I mean, he got his chops by quickly writing scores for the Universal films that were being released back in the day.
Jim HillHOST
And so, you know, just the notion of, oh, my God, to get to watch that Abner Costello movie and get to hear early, early Henry Mancini and to realize this guy was great even back when he was 28.
Jim HillHOST
So, again, that's, you know, what's fascinating about you look at, you know, over the 15 years that Bud and Lou worked at Universal, that was a good chunk of the studio's history, right? Anyway, they make their last film for Universal in 1955.
MikeHOST
This'll always be loved.
MikeHOST
People are always gonna love something that sounds like it's a little fancier than an Henry Mancini album, but not too much.
MikeHOST
Here, yeah, this is...
MikeHOST
I, I think this seems the closest to pretty, you know, they're, they're youngest of the artists here.
SeanHOST
play that
MonkeyHOST
little musical interlude called Baby Elephant Walk by Henry Mancini? Would you like it? I think this is deserved of that sort of little nuance.
MonkeyHOST
What do you reckon?
SeanHOST
Yeah, I was going to...
Kooper CooperHOST
Oh, Thank you.
Kooper CooperHOST
Coctonation Evenings at the Penthouse send Henry Mancini champagne and quail, which sounds like a rather nice combination.
Kooper CooperHOST
It's from the 1964 Pink Panther album.
Kooper CooperHOST
This is Dinah Washington now in Crimea River on the Coctonation Evenings at the Penthouse, relaxing after a hard day at work.
RussHOST
Kaiser follows on guitar with agile phrases and snappy rhythms, and once more through the melody, wraps it up.
RussHOST
Track two is a tune by Henry Mancini, Mr.
RussHOST
Lucky, from the CBS adventure television series, Mr.
RussHOST
Lucky, that aired in the U.S. from 1959 to 1960.
MikeHOST
I can't get a picture of it, you know?
RussHOST
I don't believe I've ever seen that.
RussHOST
And you can find Henry Mancini's recording of this on YouTube.
RussHOST
And when I played it, my mother remembered the tune and the show right away.
Rob StaegerGUEST
I think there's some Wolfman stuff, but other stuff from sea movies or something.
Rob StaegerGUEST
But Henry Mancini was one of the composers.
Rob StaegerGUEST
He did some of the peaceful drifting stuff down the Amazon.
Rob StaegerGUEST
He had a track that's called The Monster Gets Mark.
Charlie McMullenHOST
That's the theme from Z.
Charlie McMullenHOST
And doing some chart action for Henry Mancini back in 1970.
Charlie McMullenHOST
Okay.
Charlie McMullenHOST
Instead of doing that, Charlie, why don't you do this? Oh, yeah.
