“ZORRO” 243
A hip version by Ric Ocasek in the 1990s was also a hit, and in 2000 Earl
Rose made a jazz rendition of the number. Louis Armstrong, Bing Crosby,
Jennifer Warnes, Miley Cyrus, Aly & AJ, Barbara Hendricks and the Abbey
Road Ensemble, and Stevie Brock are among the other artists to record
the song.
“Zorro” is the rousing theme song for the 1957 television series Zorro,
presented on the weekly Disneyland show, and a memorable ballad that
became very familiar to viewers during the two years the series ran. George
Bruns (music) and Norman Foster (lyric) wrote the narrative number that
celebrated the Robin Hood–like swordsman who fights the wealthy and
powerful in Latin America. A male chorus sings the catchy song while a
montage shows the masked Zorro riding through the night and fighting his
adversaries, leaving his “Z” mark everywhere he goes. The ballad is also
used in the film The Sign of Zorro (1958), which is a compilation of eight of
the television episodes. The song is sometimes listed as the “Theme from
Zorro.”
