"The Saint" is a theme tune for the British spy TV show of the same name composed first as a whistled melody by author Leslie Charteris himself, before being expanded by Edwin Astley 1962, and later Brian Dee, Irving Martin, and Orbital in television and film versions.
[1][2][3][4][5][6][7] English electronic music duo Orbital covered "The Saint" and released it as a single in April 1997.
The track is an updated version of Edwin Astley's theme music from the 1960s TV series The Saint and plays over a scene towards the end of the film.
The single's B-side, "The Sinner",[8] is an original composition developing elements of Orbital's arrangement from the A-side.
The single also sold well in North America, making it to number 15 on the Canadian Singles Chart and number four on the US Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100.
