Song of the Day: The Pink Panther (“Soundtrack Suite”) [YouTube link], composed by Henry Mancini, includes the truly memorable main theme along with all those jazzy Mancini-esque touches that are heard throughout this 1963 comedy, starring David Niven and Peter Sellers. Okay, the Pink Panther is not a groundhog by a long shot, but Happy Groundhog Day nonetheless!*
