The pop-jazz diddy by saxophonist Homer 'Boots' Randolph III and James Q. 'Spider' Rich became popular in 1963. It claimed its first honor as the theme song to the long-running Benny Hill Show, where it accompanied countless fast-paced and hilarious chase sequences.
Really, that's the true beauty of the song: its raw power to make anything — and we mean anything — funny.
