"A Gringo Like me," which is from the soundtrack to Gunfight at Red Sands, is among my favorite songs from Spaghetti Westerns. I first heard it years ago when I was at a Spaghetti Western Festival at the Film Forum. They had it playing in the theaters between movies, so I heard it over and over and over again. And I didn't get sick of it. I just love the lines, "There's just one kind of man that you can trust; that's a dead man" and "There's just one kind of man who tells the truth; that's a dead man."
And, as a bonus, I just learned today that Tevis also sang the theme from Underdog.
