A rough gist of a few lyrics: Something about the morning… he has no place he can call his home… he has to roam from town to town… something about the morning… something about his (dead?) wife’s eyes and the sky… something, something, something… now it’s too late for a brand new start… something, something, something… now it’s too late… now it’s too late…

‘The Ballad of Rupert Murdoch’ ?

I have mixed feelings about the Hate Thy Neighbour theme song. Raoul’s voice is pretty and that’s what I like the most about the song, but for some reason, this theme gives me ‘made with low effort’ vibes.
This line in the lyrics is so silly, too 
:
One is young and the older is old
(…or maybe it’s just ‘other is old’ but I misheard it 
)
+I think the chorus sounds like Santa Claus is Coming to Town which is funny

It’s not up to the usual Raoul standard, in fact it sounds like a re-hash of some other theme songs … ‘Find a Man’, from ‘Johnny Hamlett’ is one, not the same singer of course.
Lol. The first few seconds sounds like the singer is gargling with mouthwash

The beginning song for Return of Shanghai Joe (1974) is pretty schlocky. Thank goodness it was written for a schlocky comedic sequel that doesn’t take itself seriously 
(0:00 to 1:39)
I wouldn’t exactly say bad, I actually like it very much, but definitely clumsy: The Ballad of Pecos from My Name Is Pecos.
It feels like the people making the song were in a hurry, so they just decided to rip the melody off House of the Rising Sun and add some cliché lyrics. The singer is a bit over-dramatic, too, in my opinion. I want to burst out laughing every time I hear THE FAAAMILY OOOF MAAAARTIIINEEEEZ!!!

Rest of the soundtrack is solid but completely agree about the theme…to be fair though I can’t stand House of the Rising Sun to begin with

I’m really good at finding bad Spagh themes 
Here’s another painfully overdramatic song:

A Eurovision contender, perhaps?

I’ve never seen this film but that definitely isn’t one of my favourites.

Glad it wasn’t just me thought that…I still didn’t mind the track though.
I love House of the Rising Sun whether it’s Van Ronk, Dylan or The Animals

Been meaning to post this for a while, but Jesus Christ, the English version of Ballata per un pistolero by Marcello Giombini & John Balfour I feel like this would be better if it was sung by Raoul. Don’t mean to diss Balfour, I like him too, it’s just he sings this with way too much emotion

The soundtrack for Zabalza’s Al oeste de Rio Grande. It’s so bad its rivals are not even close.
The original is much better , unfortunately not sung by Raoul , but he’s the best anyway .
