Default National Lampoon's Vegas Vacation Music - Help!

When Clark (Chevy Chase) and Russ are on the water sunbeds in the swimming pool of the hotel resort drinking, what is the name of the tune that is playing as soon as the scene starts?

Any help would be appreciated - thanks!

I don't know, but Bachelor Flat (1962) starring Terry Thomas and Tuesday Weld has the same tune in this clip.

The John Williams Web Pages: Bachelor Flat

It appears from this link the composer of Bachelor Flat, John Williams, is responsible for the tune accompanying the dog as he drags the bone, but isn't credited for it in the song credits at the end of Vegas Vacation.

Both movies were produced by Twentieth Century Fox, so I'm guessing they didn"t have to credit Williams because they owned all rights to the music. What will kill my theory is if someone recognizes this as a separate song or composition.

It is John Williams. It is called "Mambone" and was composed for Bachelor Flat.
