One cartoon I used to watch occasionally as a kid was The Pink Panther Show. It wasn’t necessarily one of my favorites, but I always loved the theme song. The mood it created just seemed to fit so perfectly with what you were watching. Little did I know at the time that the music and the character actually originated from a live-action movie starring Peter Sellers. Coincidentally, many years later I was tasked with reviewing tapes from a catalog acquisition my company made, some of which listed Peter Sellers as the artist and were associated with The Goon Show, a program Sellers was involved with early in his career.
