The Washington Post offered a strange tribute to the late Italian composer Ennio Morricone, who died Monday at the age of 91.
Morrione, the Oscar-winning composer of “The Hateful Eight,” has more than 500 IMDB credits spanning decades, but his best-known work was creating the iconic theme for Clint Eastwood’s 1966 classic “The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. ” “
However, while sharing his obituary on Twitter, The Washington Post tweeted an unusual description for his most memorable score.
“Ennio Morricone, Italian composer who wrote the song ‘ah-ee-ah-ee-ah’ of ‘The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly’, dies at 91,” the Post tweeted.

“Battering this headline, lmfao,” Polygon entertainment reporter Karen Han tweeted.
Others created their own Washington Post obituaries for other famous composers.
“Does this mean that John Williams ‘eventual obituto will read’ composer who wrote the song ‘durr dumm durr dumm’ for ‘Jaws’?” Asked filmmaker Edgar Wright.
