Have we done a definitive list of these? The only ones I can think of for some reason are Deodato's from Prelude and Percy Faith from Clair? What else is out there? Let's make a master list!

Funky...arguably. Good...no.
Black Motion Picture Experience:
There is one by the ventures with a break that isn't on youtube.
Then there is a decent one on a record called "Classics Go Disco".
The Radio Shack stereo test LP
I also have a poorly recorded, mildly funky one on a hand printed LP from a concert (which also has a monologue by Ed McMahon elsewhere) at a South Bay Catholic church.
The Galactic Force Band "Theme From 2001"
Or were other people funking it up before Deodato?
[Yes I know it's composed by Strauss and was used as a movie theme, I am talking about funky version.]
Erwin Lehn Orchestra - DJ OneCut/Masterchef put this version on an old Solid Steel mix that I gave up looking for. It's damn funky, wurlitzer organ stuff.
I want to hear that!
Trying to find it (in vain...) brought me here (some we hadn't listed yet):
