"Chi Mai" (Italian: whoever) is a composition by Ennio Morricone written in 1971.
In 1981, it was used as the theme music for the BBC series The Life and Times of David Lloyd George[2] and the BBC release of the theme reached number 2 on the UK Singles Chart.
[3] Elements of the melody of "Chi Mai" appeared in a piece entitled "Invito All'Amore" from the 1968 Sergio Corbucci Spaghetti Western, The Great Silence.
[4] The original Italian lyrics for this song were written by Carlo Nistri and published by Ricordi (1972).
[citation needed] In 2002, this association was referenced by the French movie, Asterix & Obelix: Mission Cleopatra, in a scene in which Dogmatix is chasing a legionnaire running on all fours in slow motion (like in the commercial) while "Chi Mai" is playing in the background.
