Saturday Music for Male Hustlers

One of the great movie themes bar none; THE FUTURIST! presents the melancholy soul stirring provided by the Academy Award winning Best Picture of 1969.

Listen:


MIDNIGHT COWBOY
(from the film Midnight Cowboy -1969)
performed and composed by John Barry

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...
