What John Williams cue would most likely appear in a Quentin Tarantino movie?

[Sandor 797]

We all know Quentin Tarantino is known for using existing pieces in the soundtracks of his films, ranging from popsongs to works from various film composers, Ennio Morricone in particular.

I've always assumed that typical 'Hollywood'-composers like Williams, Barry or Horner would be the least likely composers to be incorporated into his films.

But he used a bit of Herrman before and it wasn't until a cue from Goldsmith's Under Fire popped up in Django Unchained that I realized that it is not completely beyond the realm of possibility to see a work of Williams appear in one of Tarantino's films.

So the question is: what piece could possibly fit into the aural landscape that Tarantino is known for? I know stuff like Journey To The Island or the End Credits from Hook are highly unlikely.

My pick would be Mario In Mexico from The Long Goodbye. It kind off has this Tarantino-feel, even when the brass section comes in.

Something sleazy, like "Neptune's Bar", or even "Maggie Shoots Pool" might be good.

Howzabout "TMB" main title for a sequel to "Django Unchained"?

Something sleazy, like "Neptune's Bar", or even "Maggie Shoots Pool" might be good.

Those were the first that popped in my mind too.

If he's doing some loungey scenes, some of Williams' 60s lounge cues might work -- but then, he might go to Mancini instead, who was the template of that sound to begin with.

There was an interview with QT some years ago where he expressed his enthusiasm over JW's score for Black Sunday.

The Sugarland Express could easily called 'Tarantinoesque'.

My respect from QT just went up considerably.
