Post subject: Baby Driver: What is your "Killer Track?"
Four months after Baby Driver was released I was obsessed with putting together a fake movie soundtrack based on Jon Hamm's monologue in which he muses about those songs that just hype you up. I made a playlist of about around 40 songs or so on my Spotify account here:
But what are your killer tracks? What songs pump you up?
Here is a track listing:
Wire - 1 2 X U
Can - Mushroom
Danny Brown - Dance (Instrumental)
The Shangri-La's - Leader Of The Pack
Edwyn Collins - A Girl Like You
The Meters - Hand Clapping Song

Sparks - This Town Ain't Big Enough For The Both Of Us
John Lennon - Woman
The Picturebook - Cactus
Marty Robbins - Big Iron
Interesting. I didn't know about the movie.
so to clarify a bit: there is this film "in which the actors' timing and movements are synced with the soundtrack"(wikipedia)
And you created another soundtrack here.
And you ask for examples of uplifting song ? Or "happy sad" songs ? Songs that fit some specific situation in life ? (I ask that because I see "Let's Go away for A while" by the Beach Boys in the official soundtrack)
I have to see that film anyway
