Back in 1966, I was running my own little music studio outside Turino, Italy. It was the fourth business in the global venture of Chainsaw Chicken International, Ltd.

It seems that the distributor United Artist was giving heat to the producers Produzioni Europee Associate (PEA). They were having some contract issues with the original music producer for this exciting Spaghetti Western being cooked up.

David O. Selznick picked up the phone and asked if I know of another music guy that might take over?

I got a hold of my long time buddy, Ennio Morricone. He had written the theme music for our corporate song. I arranged to meet him at a bistro near the Leaning Tower of Pisa. We sat down for a hot cup of cappuccino and I mean HOT.

I told Ennio what the others were looking for in this theme music but Ennio simply drew a blank. I told him that it should be fun and creative like what you did with our corporate song. Ennio had his hand on his chin thinking while I began sipping my pipping hot cappuccino.

“Ahhhhhh YEEEEE-ouwwwwwww!” I screamed from the hot liquid hitting my lips.

“That’s it!” exclaimed Ennio. “Let me have that theme song I wrote for your company. I can tweek it some, design some special ways to bring in special treatments, and maybe,,, maybe, I could get one more thing from you, Chainsaw, my dear friend?”

“Sure” I said. “What do you need from me?”

Eccion said “I want that sound you just made. I want to incorporate it into the theme. It will be monumental.”

We went back to the studio and worked for days. This is what we ended up with. Play the audio below.
