The Pink Panther Theme is very odd in a major key

I kinda like that one, though the creepy factor does take it over the top. Somewhat reminiscent, moodwise, to A Perfect Circle’s arrangement of “Imagine,” which is so dark and cynical and bleak that the listener’s wrists slit themselves. (Now try and say that fast without spitting.)

But is it just me and a funky streaming connection, or do these major-to-minor and minor-to-major transformations desperately need to iron out the tempo? Drives me kinda nuts the way the tempo drifts.
