And so we segue gracefully from real gunfights to movies about fictional gunfights, and more important, the music for same. As anyone old enough to take Viagra knows, all Western films and TV shows had to have a theme. Most of these were corny lyrics belted out by an all-male chorus, and they all sounded the same. However, a very few rose above the rest, either because they were memorable tunes, or told a story, or simply caught the public imagination to a monster degree.

Here are my top five, starting with the theme from “The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly," which took Clint Eastwood from “Rawhide” on TV to three Oscars, or maybe more. I’ve lost count.
