The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! (1988) - Extended Soundtrack - Ira Newborn and VA (Thanks Phaota and JC!) R.I.P. Mr. Nielsen!

“Is this some kind of bust?” “Yes, they’re very impressive.” Those words were first heard on a short-lived television series of only six episodes, Police Squad! The creators of the series were that famous trio of hucksters, Jim Abrahams, and David and Jerry Zucker, the men behind Airplane! and The Kentucky Fried Movie. A send-up of dramatic police procedural shows, Police Squad! was well before it’s time, with its infusion of sight gags, quick puns, and blink-and-miss-it jokes. The ABC Network cancelled it, and that was it for six years.

In 1988, the ZAZ boys brought their script for The Naked Gun: from the Files of Police Squad! to Paramount Pictures. Star Leslie Nielsen, formerly a straight-man character actor in science fiction, westerns and television dramas found renewed life as a comedian and star. From this point on, Nielsen would be known—and certainly in demand for—sight gag-filled comedies, including Mr. Magoo, Spy Hard, and the Scary Movie series.

The Naked Gun was followed by two more sequels, and has been rated as one of the top 100 comedy films of all time.

Composer Ira Newborn created the music for the TV series, and returned to this film and the two that followed with his iconic themes.

Sadly, Leslie Nielsen died in December 2010. His legacy will be long remembered, and he will be sorely missed.

Phaota has compiled an excellent addition to the Vault with this upload of Ira Newborn’s score, accompanied by pop songs that were married so memorably to scenes we’ll remember. Who can hear “I’m Into Something Good” by Herman’s Hermits without wanting to shoot mustard all over some girl’s blouse? Hmm… mustard… -JC
