I'm wondering if this is natural, wide-spread phenomenon, or if it's a regional thing...
Seems like every really good guitarist I've met over the last 10-20 years has had this thing for Mancini's Pink Panther Theme. Most of them get all glassy-eyed when they talk about doing it on stage. I'm amazed at how many ppl I've talked to refer to this ditty with awe in their voice.
I'll admit that it's a great work of artistry, but I wouldn't put that much emphasis on it, myself, & I doubt I'd ever want to do it in your average dance band.
Personally, I think it would be agreat tune to play in front of musicians, & that's about it, unless I was going to showcase it in a floor show kinda situation.
Talk to me, ppl!
