Combining the rhythm section from Shifrin's composition for the Man From U.N.C.L.E. with  Bert's Bossa Nova, Conte magically produced an instant classic, suave and evocative enough for both cult and mass consumption. But the extra twist to the story is that Conte's remix itself became a TV theme in 2001, when it was used as the soundtrack for a widely-run automobile advertisement with the tagline Do nothing. Sooner. |
