Henry Mancini, he disturbs me today.
Not him so much as the insidiously catchy hooks he crafted for mostly mediocre TV shows and films from the 50s through the 80s.
At this moment I can't get the hook from Baby Elephant Walk out of my head. (if you click on this link with the volume up, you will share in my pain)
I've never even seen the film the piece was written for, but it doesn't matter, cause that hook has been recycled, reused and replayed over and over again, and if you don't recognize the song by title you would if you heard a few bars of this dastardly song.
