20 Things You Didn't Know About The Undertaker
14. His Entrance Theme Is Inspired By Chopin's "Funeral March"
The Undertaker's iconic entrance theme has enjoyed numerous variations over the years, but they all share the common DNA of one classic musical piece: the third movement of Frédéric Chopin's Piano Sonata No. 2, better known as "Marche Funèbre" (aka "Funeral March").
The similarities are unmistakable, even if Jim Johnston's various mixes of 'Taker's theme, entitled Graveyard Symphony, have certainly jazzed-up the legendary number considerably over the years.
Needless to say, the opening bell tone alone is enough to send live crowds into a frenzy, while the operatic remainder provides a perfectly bone-chilling accompaniment to 'Taker's typically grandiose entrances.
