"Pitchfork" put at thirty-second place the main theme of this movie, composed by Ennio Morricone, on its list of The 200 Greatest Songs of the 1960s. Quote from Pitchfork: "Film was the most important medium of the twentieth century, and Ennio Morricone was amongst its chief architects. 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966)' didn't simply reinvent soundtracks, it reinvented movies. For even the most uncouth audiences, the title theme, hell, just the opening 'wah-wah-wah', is synonymous with stoicism, murder, and pop-art delirium. Despite the Wagnerian crescendos and theatrical irony, every effect is critical and unforgettable: pacing boots, tribal flutes, flaring surf guitar, Indian war whoops, field-recording flotsam, meth-mangled trumpet solos. In just under three minutes, Morricone condenses all of the greatest elements of music, from opera, garage, musique concrète, peyote songs, whatever, and layers it over stampeding horses and shotgun blasts. It's kaleidoscopic, exhilarating, and incontrovertibly badass. --Alex Linhardt."
