Seriously, this movie's opening credits are just awesome. Now, there's disagreement among fans as to which is better. The original release, which had the theme song written by Burt Bacharach, or the intended release with the original score played over it.
Here's both. Personally, I like the loopy song version the best. The undulations of the blob animation fit that music much better and it's a fun movie so, what the hell, open it with that song. Of course, I like the original score, but for The Blob, I think "loopy" is best.
First, the version with the song:
Next, the version with the score:
As the old NFL commercials used to say, "You make the call!"

I've been listening to "Beware of the Blob" all my life and didn't even know there was a different version! I prefer the theme song, for sure. Really makes The Blob stand out.
Yes, the song version is by far the better of the two.
Never heard the music version before ..Gotta have the singin' version..BLoBs a-Go go all the way...
If "The Blob" were a serious horror film, then the score; but, c'mon, it's "The Blob"- yeah, the dopey song!
Everything you said is right. I mean, it has to be the song!
