A first rough draft of the theme song for a never written late 60’s-early 70’s TV spy drama based around an idiosyncratic main character swerving around bends in a banana yellow classic sports car in funny camera angles, brushing up against ladies in cat suits & chiffon dresses that fall to the floor at the drop of a hat, & up against innocent schoolgirls with black belts in karate, & an evil corporation with indecipherable initials.
Enjoy, in your mind, “Nyman’s Law”.
