      That was a pleasant surprise. I like how they combined various disciplines, a classic orchestra, opera, choir and also the energy of it all. But it’s weird so see a man hanging from the ceiling, if you don’tknow the movie.

    You won’t believe it but I needed this song for a project 3 days ago and found it through this EXACT post.

    The song is called “The ecstasy of gold” but the movie is “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly”. Still, that was an impressive description.

    Edit: Seems my memory failed me and it’s not the ecstasy of gold, as others have pointed out.

      Nope.

      “Ecstasy of gold” is in the same movie, but this song is called “The Good, The bad and the Ugly - Main theme”

      Ecstasy of gold is this one, Metallica played this too with the San Francisco Orchestra and it was as epic as you’d imagine:

      One we’re looking for today though is this one (the main theme):

      Doesn’t quite have that same riff, but some of the musical themes were reused in ‘The Trio’ which finished up the movie:

      Admittedly, it’s hard to find a song based on someone just writing out the sounds they think it makes and I feel like any Ennio Morricone score really should be thought of as a singular piece in harmony with the movie itself. This was one of his best, one of those movies where the dialogue could be optional, sometimes you didn’t even need to open your eyes to understand what was going on.

      Ecstasy Of Gold is from the finale where Tuco is running through the graveyard. The only vocalizations are from a soprano and a masculine choir.

    Back in say …2006-7…? I remember Bush was still president. Systems Boom video had just been released around the time, I was trying to find a song I kept hearing on the radio and having absolutely zero luck at it, for, like, weeeeks. In frustration I went to Google (which had been my chosen search provider from 99-2019) and typed in “song that goes (paraphrasing, Idr the actual) nah nah na badum ba” and google fucking spat out the song top of the page.

    Blew my fucking mind.

    That was, and probably still is, the pinnacle of search, to me. And apparently ~2008 was when Google peaked as well. I was diehard google for a good decade afterwards, until the advertising and enshittifaction became too much for me, which was about a year before the pandemic started. RIP. And STAY dead you evil motherfucker.

    That’s how good search CAN be so you younger folks know exactly what we lost.

    And no, idr what song it was, that wasn’t the important part of the story or worth remembering.

          They’re both right. Ennio Morricone did the soundtracks for both films.

          I can understand your old man confusing the films. All the 1970s spaghetti western were filmed at the same locations, using the same actors, same writers and the same composer.
