"Piranha" 1978: UPDATED! score by Pino Donaggio



Hi folks! Here I bring you 5 of the 16 tracks (UPDATE! See below to get the ENTIRE score) from the 1978 family fun classic "Piranha". As with "Jaws", young children find this film very soothing. And who could blame 'em, aren't these little critters just so cute & cuddly you could just squeeze 'em? Maybe not as cute as a 25 foot Great White shark or an adorable 40 foot Megalodon, but hey... it's not a contest!
This score is by of course one of the greatest composers of all time & space: Pino Donaggio
Hunt for the hidden link above & enjoy!
I posted this mainly at the request of my good buddy & sideshow freak "The Fiji Mermaid"

he/she/it is also very cute
UPDATE! Our buddy & fellow blogger steve2000a shared this link to get the FULL 16 track "Piranha" score in 2 parts at: http://u2n2.com/article.asp?id=26667
Thanks dude!

Why only 5 tracks - if I may ask?

Hi Steve. There are only 5 "Piranha" tracks on the out-of-print CD release of Pino Donaggio's "Symphonic Suites" which I own. So the rest are in need. Have fun!

FANTASTIC!!!! I've been looking for this one for quite a while. I have the Howling SDTK and that made me crave Piranha all the more. Thanks Jason!

Take a look here and see if this is the complete Piranha. I can't tell - sure seems like it though.

That blog where I got Piranha from is a nice one - lots of good stuff there. Check it out. Just upped were a few Morricones and the Elm Street series.

Any chance of a re-up for those of us who didn't find this blog until just now?

Jason, I hope you will decide to stop by some time. We have posted a plethora of horror soundtracks and various other horror-related items for both October and December. We are currently shunning Christmas with our special Nightmare Before Christmas event, and having a real blast in doing so. I'm sure you would enjoy the music we're posting there, and perhaps you will even find something you don't already have. Take care and keep up the great work here.
