RIP to the great Lalo Schifrin.

As much as music improves, sometimes you cannot beat the original theme...still the best one even today, in a class of its own !!

The first one is raw and edgy. The bongos is what makes it. Killer solo riff..

Lalo Schiffrin is such a master of his craft.

Through the years , this theme never gets tired. Mission Impossible for ever !

I agree that the very first arrangement was THE BEST Mission: Impossible theme.

One of the boldest, most ambitious TV themes of all time. Right up there with Peter Gunn, Johnny Quest and The Pink Panther.

One of the best TV theme songs ever. This is what television is missing today. The TV theme song. Mission impossible again, one of the best TV theme songs ever recorded.

The original will always be tight. I remember this music in the 60s, especially during school how the little boys love this music as well as Batman. This tape will disintegrate in 10 seconds

THE FIRST THEME IS THE BEST

@explorer806 9 years ago

The season 1 theme is so much more vital and driving. It is a superb arrangement.

As a kid, I used to watch this show just to rock out to the opening credits.

The first Theme is how I remember it from the Telly.

The bongos put the coolest accents on this 5/4 time signature and don't forget the claves that help define the "1" (there's a triangle with the flutes in the intro).

Lalo Schifrin is the coolest music composer ever for films and TV. Mission Impossible, Enter the Dragon, Starsky and Hutch, Dirty Harry, Bullitt, and so many others.

One of the greatest tv series of all time. The ratings for the first season weren't great, and CBS wanted to cancel it. But Lucille Ball, who was the president of Desilu, liked it, and insisted it be renewed. By the end of the second season it was one of the top rated tv shows.
