"The Good, the Bad and the Ugly" is a song by Ennio Morricone, recorded for the film The Good, the Bad and the Ugly in 1966 and featured on the film's soundtrack album. It is the main theme from the film. A cover version of the song performed by an unidentified artist appeared in the Miami Vice episode "The Cows of October".
Notes[]
- The Good (Clint Eastwood), the Bad (Lee Van Cleef) and the Ugly (Eli Wallach) was the last Sergio Leone "spaghetti western" that Eastwood starred in. Eastwood dedicated his 1992 Academy Award-winning western Unforgiven to Leone.
- Ennio Morricone performed the theme in the movie The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, but Hugo Montenegro's version charted on Billboard's Hot 100, and reached #2 in 1968. Morricone scored other Leone "spaghetti westerns" such as A Fistful of Dollars and For a Few Dollars More, and the final season's theme to the TV Western, The Virginian, then called The Men from Shiloh.
