What is the piece of music played in the good the bad and the ugly?

Answer 1

The song is an instrumental, and while it has some interesting sound effects, it does not have any lyrics. However, another contributor offered this interpretation of the sounds in the song:

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly Theme song (Titles)

This instrumental does not have lyrics per se but rather vocalizations.

This is my interpretation of Ennio Morricones theme song (Titles version) with some assistance from cited sources. I hope this helps. Keith J. Brett

Answer 2

Ennio Morricone wrote the score for The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Technically there are no lyrics, they are vocalizations.

Search wiki Answers for "What are the lyrics to the Good the Bad The Ugly theme song" for my interpretation with foot notes.

Answer 3

It depends which piece. The composer was Ennio Morricone. You can look up the OST for the movie to find your song. I love the soundtrack. Ennio is one of my favorites. Good Luck.
