Poll question: OK, so who did the best version of the PETER GUNN THEME?

[mr_hat]

1. Blues Bros!

[Red State Rebel]

6. I can guarantee it wasn't the local high school pep band!

They played it at football games....

[Outvoicer]

12. Yeah ... but only the Art Of Noise version ...

has those electronic vocalized "dum dum dum dum dum" moments and other assorted vocal edit weirdness thrown in.

Plus... a video for the song featuring Rick Mayall from The Young Ones.

I voted for AON even though just for the happiness it brought me in the 80s, but in truth Duane Eddy's version is the best.

[Blue-Jay]

21. Duane Eddie played on the AON version IIRC.

Who can forget the start of it? Booow dow dow Booow dow dow Booow dow dow.

I still like the Blues Brothers version better, though. Blue Lou Marini kicked the shit out of his solo.

2. Ah - the 50's - those were the years!

:-)

[DODI]

3. Emerson, Lake & Palmer

[Tempest]

8. Without a doubt

The rest are just pretenders.

[NightTrain]

13. Oh, puh-leeze!

ELP was one of the most insufferably dull bands ever to step into a recording studio! :boring:

[Sufi Marmot]

20. Those are fighting words...

ELP was one of the most insufferably dull bands ever to step into a recording studio!

ELP was more often than not pretentious, bombastic, and self-indulgent, but rarely boring...

-SM, likes their version of Peter Gunn

[Whitacre D_WI]

4. I can't freakin' believe Mancini is beating Eddy.

What are you people, a bunch of sports team mascots?

[Aristus]

5. Henry Mancini, of course.

The original is still the best! :thumbsup:

[Adams Wulff]

7. Bruce Springsteen

Pink Cadillac

[jpgray]

9. LOL, the Hellecasters! (nt)

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

10. YES!

[matcom]

11. ELP

hands down

[NightTrain]

15. "Hands down?" "Thumbs down" is more like it!

ELP...bleah! :puke::thumbsdown:

[UrbScotty]

14. The East Kentwood High School Marching Band!

The local band did that a couple years ago.

[Zomby Woof]

16. tie between Duane Eddy and Roy Buchanan

[geniph]

17. Duane Eddy's version RULES!

and anyone who thinks differently is just horribly, horribly misguided! ;-)

[Zomby Woof]

19. did you bring beer???

Off-topic, but had to ask. :beer:

You should hear Buchanan's version. He was a monster guitarist like Eddy.

[MrSlayer]

18. ELP's version.

[geniph]

22. I agree with NightTrain on this one

zzzzz....
