Peter Gunn was the best.

Peter Gunn was the best however.
And the Manhattan Transfer’s cover of the Twilight Zone theme don’t suck at all.

It’s unforgetable in as much as once it’s in your head it doesn’t leave - the theme to the BBC TV Series of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, which was reprised and made even more parasitic by the recent film.
And now it’s in my head. Great.
