The Pink Panther Theme is very odd in a major key

Minor key “Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer” sounds frighteningly like an R.E.M. song.

Major key “Losing My Religion” does not sound like “Grandma Got Run Over By a Reindeer” though.

I honestly think this is the first joke I ever “got” and repeated, as a lad:

“What did the Pink Panther say to the dead ant?”
“Dead ant, dead ant, dead ant dead ant dead ant… Dead ant!”

“Grandma Got Run Over By Religion” needs to happen.

Imagine Coldplay doing this version and I could see it being a hit

Man, that’s a perfect Donny & Marie arrangement there.

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.
