What Song is used in wild west style shootouts?

Question

This song has, sort of whistling and it is used in lots of western style shootouts. I know this is basically no help but it kinda goes, do di do di doooo--wa-wa-waa and it repeats like that. Please help.

Answer 1

Its originally from the movie The Good The Bad and The Ugly starring Clint Eastwood...The music composer was Ennio Morricone

Answer 2

Your probably thinking (like all your answerer's) about the theme from 'a fistful of dollars'.
The trilogy
'fistful of dollars'
'for a few dollars more'
'the good, the bad and the ugly'

and the subsequent
'once upon a time in the west'

all have iconic theme tune by Ennio Morricone, and directed by Sergio Leone.

For many people the tune they think of is often a mish-mash of all 4 theme. But the first and most iconic (that whistling thing) is from the first movie 'a fistful of dollars'. I've forgotten the name of the tune but it may be titled in the credits (remember they used english as a second language) 'the man with no name theme'.

Incidentally these spaghetti westerns were shot in Spain, I usually associate Italy with spaghetti so maybe we should call them paella westerns.

Answer 3

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly (theme), by Ennio Morricone.
