I loved watching Abbott and Costello when I was growing up. But I have no connection with the music in their films. I find the music of this new release just annoying. Well done, but annoying.
But for Laurel and Hardy, I loved their shows and the music featured in what they did. Their short films were constantly being repeated and became very familiar with certain cues becoming favourites of mine.
A similar experience to the oft-repeated original STAR TREK series : lots of repeats and lots of re-using of music in those repeated episodes.
