The Washington Post offered a bizarre tribute to the late Italian composer Ennio Morricone, who died on Monday at the age of 91.
Morrione, the Oscar-winning composer of "The Hateful Eight," has over 500 credits on IMDB spanning decades, but his best-known work was creating the iconic theme for the 1966 Clint Eastwood classic "The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly."
However, while sharing its obituary on Twitter, The Washington Post tweeted an unusual description for his most memorable score.
"Ennio Morricone, Italian composer who wrote ‘ah-ee-ah-ee-ah’ theme of ‘The Good, the Bad and the Ugly,’ dies at 91," the Post tweeted.

Others created their own Washington Post obituaries for other famous composers.

"Robert Plant, who sang the 'chung chucka-chung chucka-chung chucka-chung, ahh ahh AAAAAAAAAH ahhh,' song from 'School of Rock'..." TV writer Jeremy Woodcock similarly tweeted.
Even Washington Post columnist Ishaan Tharoor spoke out against his paper's tweet.
