The Making of Lemmings

"Composer Tim Wright pulled Lemmings out of the fire with style, bouncily reinterpreting standards like Offenbach’s Galop Infernal and Ten Green Bottles, and adding a touch of class with Tchaikovsky’s Dance of the Little Swans."

Since I was about five years old when my parents bought Lemmings, I remember pieces like "Dance of the Little Swans" as "Lemmings music".

I think it's a better choice than 60s/70s music would have been. It doesn't date, and it's less annoying to hear on repeat for four hours straight...

They actually released an Amiga demo disk with the "60's/70's action music" [1] hidden away on it. None of those tunes played when you played the demo, of course.

If you're interested in hearing them, I reverse engineered [2] the music format a while back and converted them to ProTracker modules [3].

Having played Lemmings back then on a PC, I'm more fond of the Adlib version of the soundtrack: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PvgncwgPA20
