Theres a lot of sites which will review this sound track, as well as Ennio Morricone's other works. He's widely used in the cinema and used to good effect I feel.

Anyhow have a look at this link, it mentions the pocket watch jingle. Used to have the album on vinyl many moons ago.

Regards
KH

{EDIT] - DOH - Heres the actual link lol

Was it used by 'White town' in their only hit single (something like 'I can never take the place of your man')?
that had a jingly bit at the start, the ep was called 'abort, retry fail?'

While we're on the subject of Sergio Leone films. The beginning of the Fields of the Nephilim album Dawnrazor may sound a bit familar

It was used in a speed garage song from around 98. The name escapes me at the moment though :/
