A colleague at work has requested some information.  He recalls (and I
do, too) a particular style of vocal group "choral" singing that was
prominent in some 1960's movie soundtracks (esp. Burt Bacharach [?]).
They were prominent in chase scenes and the like, and their sound
consisting of polyphonous voices in sort of contrapuntal motion (fairly
fast) that sounded like:

Ba-ba-da-ba-da-ba-da-ba Ba-ba-da-ba-da-ba-da-ba  (these were the "lyrics")

Does anyone have further info on this style?  What movies it was found in?
Who wrote the music?  And what records it might be found on?  Thanks much in
advance.
