"The Rise and Fall of Flingel Bunt" is an instrumental by British group the Shadows.
Flingel Bunt is an imaginary character invented by the actor Richard O'Sullivan, a friend of the Shadows.
The full title was given to the tune after the group had been to see the film The Rise and Fall of Legs Diamond.
[3] It was released with the B-side "It's a Man's World", written by Malcolm Addey and Norman Smith.
[5] For Disc, Don Nicholl wrote that "the actual instrumental itself is a steady, fairly dramatic production with thudding drumwork persisting behind the guitars".
