Stephen King's Playlist, "Peter Gunn," Henry Mancini, meanemotion=victory, meanspace=504 milliseconds


On his October 2005 iTunes Celebrity Playlist, famed Boston based author Stephen King chose a theme song as one for his list: the television theme of Peter Gunn by Henry Mancini.
The genre of the music is listed as "soundtrack" and is from the album 'The Music from Peter Gunn.'
Stephen says: "Henry Mancini, doin' the private eye thing. This tv theme's over half a century old, and still as cool as the cubes in your freezer."

The speed frequencies of the song are:
a) meanspeed=119 beats per minute,
b) meanemotion=victory,
c) meanspace=0.504 seconds between beats,
d) meanphase=1.98 cycles per second,
