Remember the Bill Murray movie 'Stripes'

[NEDem]

I'm trying to find out what the theme song is. Anyone have any ideas? I've searched all over for it, but can't find anything about what it is.

I'm in charge of doing training videos for work and I want to use it as background music for my latest training video, as an inside joke.

Heavy on the brass, sounds matrial...that it?

5. It was used in another "army movie" too.

Damned if I can remember which one, though. I just remember thinking "Heeey...That's the Stripes music..."

6. The only music IMDB has listed is "Rubberband Man"

I'd recommend getting a copy of the DVD. Saw some copies on Amazon for a little over $1.

8. Elmer Bernstein credited with creating soundtrack for Stripes.

Thought this might help you in your search for the music from Stripes.

Elmer Bernstein, 1922-2004
BB mourns the loss of soundtrack composer Elmer Bernstein, the artist behind the classic scores for The Magnificent Seven, The Man With The Golden Arm, The Great Escape, and even modern-day comedies like Airplane! and Stripes.
