Here is my rendition to a great spy theme called A Shot in the Dark, by the great Henry Mancini. It used to be the theme for the Inspector Clusoe cartoon featured in the Pink Panther Show. Great song, very, very, very fun to play. The backing track is a hidden bonus track in a La Lupita album called "Que bonito es casi todo".

Please rate and comment.

After watching this about 300 times (yes its that amazing) I only just worked out that they're both the same person

[achcautli]

@jimmythebiguke Thanks! Hehehe... It's me and my very own "digital evil twin". I'm glad that you find this video enjoyable enough so you don't get bored of watching it. When I shot it, I never thought that this video was ever going to get as far as it has. I can't believe it has been watched over 25K times!

[eabramchuk]

Wow, very stylish play. Quite impressive!

Minus is only one - too short video! :)

[achcautli]

@eabramchuk Yeah, I know... the backing track is really short. When I tried to edit it and make it twice as long, didn't sound right, so I had to leave it at its original length. I am glad that you find it enjoyable, though. Keep watching.

[OriginalPumpMonkey]

That was *very* cool~!

@jimmythebiguke i only noticed this after reading it

[BackToTheBlues]

@achcautli The one on the left is taller. ;)\

Great version of a great tune - have you ever heard Prison Of Love by Robben Ford? We do the song in our set (someone taped us - it's in my favourites) and there's a bass riff running down that's the 'evil twin' of this riff. I've even stuck the melody in my solo, fits really well! As for length, a surf drums interval would've done the job, then back into the middle eight. All the same, love it.

Tune...

[Vasileski88]

This song kicks ass. Who is the original author? Henri Mancini?

[HarleyKat03]

@IHATEPRINCETON LOL except I think the Inspector was referring to "Oui" for yes, wasn't he?? To be honest, he kinda muddled it up so much it got confusing... Sea... xD that was a good show...
