Is the music on 'El Chapulin Colorado' original or canned. The 'El Chapulin' theme song(mas agil que una tortuga...)and the musical numbers sound original, but the "heroic theme music"(used when Chapulin announces his presence)sounds like something from 'Lawrence of Arabia' or som'thin'. What do you guys think?
shareI'm not sure about thet exact tune but I do know about the other song played at the end (credits) here you can read about it and download it:

Yeah, I have listened to the main score from "EL CHapulin" somewhere else, I'm pretty sure that is part of the score or soundtrack from The Ten Commandments, check it out, if I'm not mistaken is right in the scene where the red sea splits up.
shareIt is. Actually when I watched TTc, I thought, heys it's the chapulin's theme :)
shareYup same thing I said, i'm like Hey it's El Chapulin Colorado!
What about the music that plays at the end of every episode of el Chapulin. Who is the original author of that?
Oh it's the Baroque Hoedown..thanks..my fault I didn't pay attention to the first posting.
shareAnd the song that plays at the beginning of every show?
shareA lot of the music used in El Chapulin Colorado (and in El Chavo del 8) comes from movies. In El Chavo, for example two of the themes come from Pinocchio (sp?) and Dombo.
shareThe late, great Elmer Bernstein composed the music score for The Ten Commandments. Bernstein also scored The Magnificent Seven. So, technically, the El Chapulin "theme" is Bernstein's work!
In one episode, El Chapulin, a lovely woman, and a waiter find an alien baby inside a UFO. There's a delicate, benign, music cue on the soundtrack. This same stock music cue is used in Master With Cracked Fingers when a "young Jackie Chan" learns kung fu. We can only wonder who the author of that music cue is.
