Original mission impossible theme song do do do
Even when I was a kid I’ve always been able to remember it. Certainly the music that Lalo wrote fitted that bill. Different films have a different dynamic, but MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE, whether or not it relates to the television series, it’s got to have that slightly exotic feeling of going to a foreign place and being in danger. What is the key to scoring the ‘Main Title’ of a film?Īdam Clayton: I think you’ve really got to nail the emotion.
ORIGINAL MISSION IMPOSSIBLE THEME SONG DO DO DO LICENSE
There was no reference to U2, so it took the pressure off of us on one level and the expectations that this was going to be some rock track, basically giving us the license to do whatever we wanted. Adam and I thought it might be worthwhile having a bash at it (alone). Larry Mullen: The initial request came for U2 to do a version of it and we couldn’t because we were in the middle of recording ‘Pop’. How did you get involved in reinterpreting Lalo’s ‘Main Title’? Both musicians were anxious to talk about their work for the film and the details of creating it. In the first motion picture, directed by Brian De Palma, Larry Mullen and Adam Clayton, the drummer and bass player for the Irish rock band U2, were hired for the reinterpretation. Lalo Schifrin will always be the inventor of the famous MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE theme, but as the motion pictures were released, new musicians came on board to rearrange Lalo’s music into a song for the masses.
