the walking dead theme song sung by dogs

That's why I'm guessing it was passed around during those early formative days, just like a folk song was passed around. Most of the silent movie piano players in the city would share and swap themes, learn from each other, steal from each other, etc. He played only for a short period of time but really well, and he couldn't read a note of music. VP Treasurer), he played nickelodeon piano for silent films in New York. It seems odd that such a ubiquitous theme would be of unknown authorship, but as a commenter in this thread points out:īefore my grandfather went to work for the Warner brothers as their accountant (and later Exec. Zamecnik's 1913 composition 'Mysterioso - Burglar Music 1' and the (apparently undated and anonymous) 'Villain's Theme', which can be previewed on track 8 of this anthology of silent music. This blog post first speculates that it's from Louis Armstrong's classic (and creepy) 'Zat You, Santa Clause?' (available for listening here), but further investigation (including an old AskMe thread) suggested the piece is much older, from the silent era.

Looking to contribute what I (thought I) knew to the thread, I looked up the Patch Adams Trailer on youtube and on trying to find where the pieces matched, only to discover that they didn't. It sounded so similar, and there was no way to confirm it at the time. And some usenet poster told me it was the theme from Dragon.
