"Hojotoho! Hojotoho!"...Ride Of The Valkyries

Could it be that the lady is me 
In the photograph 
I'm afraid 'cause it feels too good 
And I want it too bad 
It's just not true 
Couldn't ask for anymore than you 

Because you look at me 
As though I'm beautiful 
Could it be that you want me 
I never dreamed someone like you 
Could want someone like me 

I'm not sure but the more that it's real 
The more it's right, oh what a night 
It's as though we've been lovers 
All of our lives 
There must be a God 
Could it be that he's heard me at last 

Because you look at me 
As though I'm beautiful 
Could it be the lady is me 
I never dreamed someone like you 
Could want someone like me 

All the pain and the pleasure's the same 
It goes so fast 
I'm the girl with the strawberry hair 
In the photograph 
So come on, let's dance 
Let me have it while I have the chance 

'Cause there's another world 
Where there are other girls 
But tonight there's only me 
I never dreamed someone like you 
Could love someone like me

Carrie 1976 (Main Theme) - Pino Donaggio

In 1976, Carrie made a star of Sissy Spacek, a bankable first-tier director of Brian DePalma, and a household name of horror writer Stephen King (on whose first novel the film was based). Newcomers John Travolta, Amy Irving, and Nancy Allen didn't do so bad for themselves either.

But like the solid efforts of many film composers, Pino Donaggio's work went largely unheralded at the time, though DePalma would reward him with no less than five more scoring assignments in the years to come. Ironically, Donaggio was the director's second choice; the first, Bernard Herrmann, died just hours after the final recording session for Scorsese's Taxi Driver in December, 1975.

For the Carrie, score, Donaggio descends from the breezy string and flute arrangements that introduce the innocence of the title character into a darkening orchestral maelstrom as the troubled telekinetic Carrie suffers increasingly harsh indignities at the hands of her schoolmates and madly fundamentalist mother. Like his peers Morricone and Rota, Donaggio often understates the most dramatic scenes of his projects; the famed school prom hell storm scene is accompanied merely by rumbling sustained chords from the strings beneath subtly disquieting electronic effects. Ryko's interspersing of dialogue clips is especially effective here, particularly the chilling rantings of Piper Laurie as Carrie's mother.
