Other examples of not-so-common stuff?

for me this is a no-brainer and most threads like this I do not care for because I have too many choices. (mind you I am not all that big a movie buff) Jesus Christ Superstar hands down for me though technically it was on stage first (I saw the original when it came to Boston when I was in Jr High)

The Persuaders theme is one of Barry's best non-Bond action themes, title sequence by Bond alum Maurice Binder. The last bit on your example is an arrangement by Cyril Stapleton.
