Releasing the music video fifteen years after the initial release of the song has to be some sort of record.
Enjoy!

I watched a film called Eve of Destruction last night and that, of course, reminded me of Eve’s BFF, Dawn of Correction.

This was Bernard Herrmann’s final score and also one of his best.
The song is probably best known for appearing on the Jackie Brown soundtrack but it was actually written for the 1971 Jess Franco Film, Vampyros Lesbos. The music video is made up of scenes from Franco’s wonderfully surreal film.

Technically, the French composer Marius Constant did not set out to write the theme song for The Twilight Zone. In the 50s, CBS commissioned Constant to compose a number of short pieces for CBS stock music library, basically as musical stingers that could be used for radio shows. In 1960, when The Twilight Zone needed a theme song, an enterprising CBS employee combined two of Constant’s composition to create the iconic Twilight Zone theme.
Enjoy our short but haunting song of the day.
Hey, I remember Play.

Today’s song of the day is the haunting zither theme of The Third Man. Whenever I hear this music, I immediately think of Orson Welles, emerging from the shadows with that charming smile on his face. I also think about poor Holly Martins (Joseph Cotten), being chased through Vienna by that little kid who wouldn’t stop yelling at him. And, of course, there’s that famous final shot….
You should probably play this one loud.
Enjoy!
Chicago is having a bit of a moment so today’s song of the day is one that pays tribute to the city’s history. Here is Ennio Morricone’s Theme From The Untouchables.
We have a new pope and he’s from Chicago! Which brings us to today’s song of the day….
Now, this could only happen to a guy like me
And only happen in a town like this
So may I say to each of you most gratefully
As I throw each one of you a kiss, this is
My kind of town, Chicago is
My kind of town, Chicago is
My kind of people, too
People who smile at you
And each time I roam, Chicago is
Calling me home, Chicago is
Why I just grin like a clown
It’s my kind of town
My kind of town, Chicago is
My kind of town, Chicago is
My kind of razzmatazz
And it has all that jazz
And each time I leave, Chicago is
Tuggin’ my sleeve, Chicago is
The Wrigley Building, Chicago is
The Union Stockyard, Chicago is
One town that won’t let you down
It’s my kind of town
Songwriters: Sammy Cahn / Jimmy Van Heusen
