If the theme music is bugging you...

I watched this at 2am and it was entertaining in the way a movie littered with obvious and repeated gags can sometimes be, but then again I was drunk so my judgement may have been slightly impaired. Then again my tolerance for bad movies tends to go down if I've had a few, so I'd say yeah it's worth watching.

Anyway the only reason I'm writing this is because while I was watching the movie I couldn't for the life of me figure out the theme music which is the accompaniment pretty much throughout. It was only near the end that I realised it's a mangled version of Nights in White Satin by The Moody Blues, made to sound "a bit James Bond-ish". I wonder if the Moodies even know their song was used for this?
