I think this falls into the category of surprise hits. Hugo Montenegro’s version of Ennio Morricone’s main theme from an Italian western starring Clint Eastwood almost reached #1. It was kept from the top spot by “Mrs. Robinson,” another movie song. The haunting two-note ocarina part was played by Art Smith with whistling by Muzzy Marcellino. Tommy Morgan provided the “wah-wah-wah” ersatz harmonica by cupping his hands. Montenegro himself did those grunting sounds, which added a sort of fake Italian vibe.
