(In the drum solo, do I detect a lot of “Shave and a haircut. Two bits”?)

Very 1960s, but this is like a jazz performance, where each instrumentalist gets a chance to riff for as long as he wants.

The best use of this song in a movie was in Michael Mann’s “Manhunter,” which gave us the first movie appearance of everyone’s favorite cannibal, Hannibal Lecter.
