    A great theme from a great film--though I could have done entirely without Dustin Hoffman. I think even Steve Martin could have played the part more seriously.

    What a theme. It's so sad. I have a version of it played on the moog synthesizer by Martin Denny. Very sad also.

    Dr Seussonoras:

    You know, THE FUTURIST! found Hoffman a bit over the top, too.

    Someone recommended hearing this song yesterday, and I completely forgot about it. Its an odd coincidence to find it here...
