Check out this strangely misogynistic song, "Campa Carogna... La Taglia Cresce"1 performed by Stephen Boyd (vocals) / Orchestra diretta da Giacomo Dell'Orso. It's from the above compilation, 12 Spaghetti Western (1966) of songs from spaghetti westerns (which were western movies made for Italian audiences). Here's a bit of the chorus:

Always when the chips are down, I find I can't be trusting your kind. Doodle-oomp Doomp
