TUNE OF THE MOMENT: YETI
Yes, it's "Yeti", the end title track from Sante Maria Romitelli's score to the immortal 1977 Italian movie Yeti: The Giant of the 21st Century!
The track was also release as a 45 (pictured above) that was credited to The Yetians! Dig some of the lyrics:
The Yeti's big
The Yeti's tough
But he's so good
He is so big
The Man of stone
But he won't harm you
The Yeti
He is so tough
The man of stone
But he won't kill you
The Yeti
I ask you: does it get much better than that? Me thinks not. And, for maximum effect, while you are listening, feel free to stare deeply at this picture of the Yeti:
The movie Yeti: The Giant of the 21st Century is available on DVD-R from Trash Palace (if you must). You have been warned!

This was a really funny movie. I remember seeing it on Commander USA & His Groovy Movies on the USA Network back in the 80's.
So the song really is in the movie?
Dan: Yes, it runs during the end credits. In fact the version in the movie even goes on a bit longer. (Or at least it seems to go on longer!)
I wish I had a copy of this song. After watching this movie, the song was stuck in my head for weeks afterward.
it almost looks like what k-mart woulda sold as the halloween costume for the lion from the wizard of oz. cool shtuff on here!
