Peter Gunn theme song

[darkoshi]

Apparently Peter Gunn was a private-eye television show from the late 1950s. The music was featured in the Blues Brothers movie. This version has vocals sung by Sarah Vaughan, and vocals fit the music wonderfully.

God I love that song version by Johnny Cash. I used to listen to it alot, and I think I've seen the video a couple times, but not in years. I believe that was the last song he recorded before he died..or last released or something.

And it's funny you should put up a song from Rain Man, because I was about to watch that tonight..then started another movie instead though I'm sure it's not as good.

Yeah, the Johnny Cash version is haunting. I remember seeing a Kermit the frog video for it that was (surprisingly) haunting too.

Iko Iko... that's one of those songs that I got fixated on for a while, and listened to all the versions of it that I could find. I bought a few other versions of it too, but couldn't find any Youtube links to post for them. I looked up what the lyrics meant, and it was rather interesting... there are many theories, but there's no clear answer as to what they mean.
