This one thing about ahving a extensive msuical mmeory with thousands upon thousands of themes is that, sometimes, youāll remember a theme but not have a clue on tis author and title. And sometimes you run unto it and just grab its title before it slips way from memoryā¦ until sometimes, you actually forget its title AGAIN.
In the last 23 years Iāve remembered this theme, didnāt knew the title, learned the title, forgot it , found it again, forgot it again, then eventually found the title back again a total of three times.
And today Iāve found it again. Hope wonāt forget its name a fourth timeā¦
Hans Zimmer - Your so cool (OST to True Romance, 1995)
Which is based upon this:
Carl Orff - Gassenhauer nach Hans Neusiedler (1536) (arranged around 1923-1960s as a part of Orffās Schulwerke)
I donāt really remember the film True Romance. but oh god, how many times iāve been tormented by this instrumental without remembering its title!
Your so cool. by Hans Zimmer. Based upon Carl Orffās Gassenhauer.

Lyrics
Frankie: Okay, this is the picture. Johnnyās been hurt. Heās been hurt bad.
Woman: Look, we canāt leave him here, we canāt. Look, heās in a pool of blood. Heās gonna die, I know it.
Frankie: Weāve gotta leave him here, honey. We gotta. He wonāt talk, I promise you that! Will you Johnny?
Woman: Frankie, I donāt care whether he talks or not, I just canāt leave him like this.
Johnny: Listen. Leave me here Iā¦ Iā¦ I can ā¦ I can ā¦ handle it.
Woman: Oh, no, Johnny, noā¦
Frankie: The cops are outside. Lukeās in the car. Come on, letās get the hell outta this joint.
Woman: Frankie, when they get here werāre gonna be dead, I know we are! We donāt have agun!
Frankie: Listen. We got three millionā¦ Listen, [spud]. We got three million in the can, here. We canāt look after him, Iāll send the bird to his mother. Come on, letās just get out of this place, we can do it!
Woman: Oh, no, Johnny, noā¦
Frankie: Okay now, just lean up against that door. When I give the word āGoā we justā¦, we just go through it and blast at the same time.
She came, as in the book, Mickey Spillane
That Saturday night dark masquerade
Had filled his friend with lead, the same, sweetheart
But then, as nothing happens quite the same
Investigation is the game
He had to check her story right away-he dead
Sam Spade his buddy Archer first to go he got it
She spelt it out, how could they know the āFatmanā got it -he dead
Her sister didnāt really live at all-confusion-he dead
His chase led to the Fatman, to face the friends of Mr. Cairo
Woman: Hey, thereās a really terrific dress shop. Can we stop this raid while I buy a new gown?
Frankie: Iāll buy you the whole factory, sweetheart. Donāt worry.
That night, the double crosser got it right
Pretending he was really dim
He slipped to Sam a double gin (Mickey Finn)
He woke, the boys had gone, but not his gun
Theyād left a note to lead him on
The chase to find the Maltese Falcon-you bet-
Early thirties gangster movies
Set to spellbind population
From Chicago to Hong Kong
Via Istanbul the Talking Tong
Dirty rats throughā prohibition
Money flowed through gangsterism
Acting out this fantasy
In Hollywoods vicinity
The best part for the best rendition
Al Capone he sent to prison
Citizen Kane came fast and quickly
Conquering olā New York City
Poking fun at superstition
Media became television Give me Cagney anyday
Or Jimmy Stewart for President
Or Edward āGā and all those guys
Who always shoot between the eyes
Between the eyes
Between the eyes
Kasper: ha, ha, well done Mr. Cairo, and what do you have to say about that, my friend?
Spade: Allright. So youāve got me in it. What about her?
Brigid: Donāt worry about me, Iām okay
Kasper: Very magnanimous, sir, very magnanimous indeed, ha, ha, ha
Mr. Cairo: You meanā¦, you wonāt make us an offer weā¦ we canāt refuseā¦
Father love do you work, do you work for Mother
Chances could call, and accept that, be no other
Science as it might, disappear correspond with colour
Chance is the fruit, will outlive, what is now the brother
Call for total wealth to distribute like a picture
In black and white, give it joy, give it, let it hit you
Spoil our existence by extreme gift to population
Father love do you work, do you work for Mother
Tell me straight be the Godfather be no other
Media Kings give us now give us total movie
Straight right now, give it clear, give us total movie
Now being here, being now, being here believing
Man: I donāt know which words to put in there sweetheart, you know, I canāt do it. Pretty kind of useless, though, donāt you think so Mary?
Man: Come with me to the far lands of Baghdad.
Woman: Oh, if only I could. Thatās what I want more than anything in the world, but it could never beā¦
Man: Of course it canā¦
Woman: But my father would find us wherever we went. Yes, he has forbidden me toā¦ to even speak to you, if he finds me now. I donāt know what heād doā¦
Man: But he doesnāt know that Iāmā¦ Iām a prince. Before, I was the thief of Baghdad nowā¦
Woman: It doesnāt matterā¦
Man: Then follow me, darling, follow me now to the ends of the Earth
One on one to talk to you
Like film stars they get close to you
Youāve mirrored his appeal
He wants you so, he wants to be beside you
Then you pass by giving him the other side of you
Like the mystics do
So that every time he moves, he moves for you
Soul and light can always see
The meeting of true love and she
This silent night and I,
I guess a lonely mind might see
Iāve seen love on the screen
Iāve seen a screen goddesss and me-oh
How often this, how often, this the power of you
And so, I must confess
Whatever I see
Iām meant to be there with you
With you with you
Silent golden movies, talkies, technicolour, long ago
My younger ways stand clearer, clearer than my footprints
Stardom greats Iāve followed closely Closer than the nearest heartbeat
Longer that expected-ther were great-
Oh love oh love just to see them
Acting on the silver screen, oh my
Clark Gable, Fairbanks, Maureen OāSullivan
Fantasy would fill my life and I
Love fantasy so much
Did you see in the morning light
I really talked, yes I did, to Gods early dawning light
And I was privileged to be as I am to this day
To be with you. To be with you
Mr. Cairo: Listen. I have arranged this display forā¦ for all of you people toā¦ to come here this evening and Iā¦ I know you have been searched, but, what youā¦ you donāt realize is, is that in the back of the Maltese Falcon, I have it ā¦
