Music written by Henry Mancini.Coming off a double Oscar win for his Breakfast at Tiffany's score, Henry Mancini produced this score for the Howard Hawks-directed, John Wayne-starring safari comedy. This is at first a fun blend of jazz and Afro-exotica, jungle drums mixed with a classic bop combo. Elsewhere, however, the soundtrack opts for some pleasant, but very Western jazz, only stopping for the African instrument-sampler "The Sounds of Hatari," which features some nice treated piano. The filmmakers were probably hoping that the Mercer and Carmichael song "Just for Tonight" would be as much a success as Tiffany's "Moon River," but if Hatari! is memorable for anything, it's for the incredibly goofy "Baby Elephant Walk," which has gone on to be infamous musical shorthand for kookiness of any stripe. Get this tune in your head and it sticks. ~ Ted Mills

I have always loved this movie. Came out before I was born, remember watching on TV as a kid.
The late Leigh Brackett wrote the screen play. She was writing "The Empire Strikes Back" at the time of her death.
I just love the music.
My favorite tracks are #1 "Theme From Hatari!" & track 7 "The Sounds of Hatari!". I can play these over & over again.

“Baby Elephant Walk” is of course the track everyone knows.
If you are a fan of the film or of the late Henry Mancini you will love this soundtrack.
I would recommend this to a friend!
