I'm looking for the title and the composer's name of the song that was the theme (or main piece) of the original "The Bad News Bears" movie. Does anyone know?

I may be misremembering it, but wasn't that Tchaikovsky's "1812 Overture?"

I was going to say "March Of The Toreadors" from Bizet's "Carmen", but then again it's been a lot of years since I saw that movie so I could be remembering it wrong.

Actually it was from "Carmen," and it's the prelude. It's the music that was the basis for the "Neither a borrower nor a lender be" segment in the Gilligan's Island episode with Phil Silvers. I got it put on a CD BTW.
