IT: Welcome to Derry

Theme Song:  “A Smile and a Ribbon” by Patience and Prudence (1956). 

The song was written by Mark McIntyre and Robert Wells.

The song originally served as a B-side to Patience and Prudence’s smash hit “Tonight You Belong to Me.”

The song is the most recent additions to the list as IT: Welcome to Derry has just aired on HBO Max, finishing its 8-episode season. The theme was so weird the first week, but grew on me as each week progressed. It is so creepy and odd for this sweet, little song to be placed on this horror series with images of Derry’s dark history behind it. The use of this theme is genius and this is an example of a theme that, if I redid this list in a year or two, would be way higher than it is now.
