* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2EQFJlguePI title track]] from "'''''[[Film/CarryOnScreaming CAARRY ON SCREAMIIING]]!!!'''''", suitably punctuated by shrieks from a female chorus, may have an unmistakeably 1960s atmosphere, but it sets the scene perfectly for a ''Carry On'' film that actually packs a few scares amid the ribald humour and HurricaneOfPuns.
** The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vS_c0-406t0 cover]] by Boz Burrell (later of Music/KingCrimson and Music/BadCompany fame) is no slouch either.

* ''Carry On Cabby''. If you listen carefully, you could sing "Call me a cab" along parts of the harmonica line.

Added DiffLines:

For 31 hour-and-a-half low-budgeted movies, the ''Film/CarryOn'' film series was full of awesome music -- whether the theme song or just background music in general. Fans often argue over what movie had the best theme tune and others struggle to find a copy of the tune on the internet. Either way, no matter what theme tune you preferred over the other, whenever you turned on a ''Carry On'' movie, you're guaranteed to be excited for what's to come regardless. The movies' music is so awesome, Creator/TheBBC Proms [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=koqHUm1VtkY did a compilation]] of the popular films' theme tunes.

* The Matron's tune travelled through the majority of the movies that featured the character, which gave out the haughty battle-axe feeling.
* ''Carry On Cabby''. If you listen carefully, you could sing "Call me a cab" along parts of the harmonica line.
* ''Film/DontLoseYourHead'' had ... "Don't Lose Your Head", which mashed in a cameo from the French National Anthem.
* ''Film/CarryOnAbroad'' also featured the French National Anthem as the intro, but also has elements of other European music throughout.
* As much as it's loathed by so many, everyone admits that ''Film/CarryOnEmmannuelle'' has a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKWry8BFQSk great disco sound]].
* ''Film/CarryOnMatron'':
** Who knew that you could create a jazzy piece to the tune of "Rockabye Baby"?
** The electric guitar {{leitmotif}} for the gangsters is a good parody of many leitmotifs for the bad guys in gangster movies.
* ''Film/CarryOnLoving'' did a jazzy mash-up of the Wedding March.
* ''Film/CarryOnCamping'' has one of the most recognised ''Carry On'' theme tunes. Many would've heard it on the Advertising segments of ''Series/{{Screenwipe}}''.
* ''Film/CarryOnGirls''[='=] theme, based on the music at beauty pageants.
* ''Film/CarryOnAgainDoctor'':
** The film [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3zsf2fWXNg has a similar introduction]] to ''Camping'', but is just as toe-tapping.
** The general "Excuse Me" song, which is a brass band version of ''Carry On Cabby''. It's just as good, and awesome to hear the harmonica line being performed on a clarinet.
* The RecurringRiff from the first four movies are catchy as hell.
* ''Film/CarryOnHenry'' had a jazzy "Greensleeves", which was rumoured to have been composed by Henry VIII himself (or at least his orchestra's conductor).
* The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=47_qh3Qj-YA title track]] from "'''''[[Film/CarryOnScreaming CAARRY ON SCREAMIIING]]!!!'''''", suitably punctuated by shrieks from a female chorus, may have an unmistakeably 1960s atmosphere, but it sets the scene perfectly for a ''Carry On'' film that actually packs a few scares amid the ribald humour and HurricaneOfPuns.
