    I agree with your choices. All great songs from Squeeze.

    One I would add would be : "black coffee in bed"



    Speaking of those bands of the period; what about Madness and like "Our House" ?

    Speaking of abstract and some really good music compression and editing:


    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5PjUY8IXvnA



    Peek-a-Boo
    Creeping up the backstairs
    Slinking into dark stalls
    Shapeless and slumped in bathchairs
    Furtive eyes peep out of holes
    She has many guises
    She'll do what you want her to
    Playing dead and sweet submission
    Cracks the whip deadpan on cue

    Peek-a-boo Peek-a-boo
    Peek-a-boo Peek-a-boo

    Reeking like a pigsty
    Peeling back and gagging free
    Flaccid ego in your hand
    Chokes on dry tears, can you understand?
    She's jeering at the shadows
    Sneering behind a smile
    Lunge and thrust to pout and pucker
    Into the face of the beguiled

    Peek-a-boo Peek-a-boo
    Golly jeepers
    Where'd you get those peepers?
    Peepshow, creepshow
    Where did you get those eyes?

    Strobe lights pump and flicker
    Dry lips crack out for more
    `Come bite on this rag doll, baby!
    That's right, now hit the floor'
    They're sneaking out the back door
    She gets up from all fours
    Rhinestone fools and silver dollars
    Curdle into bitter tears

    Peek-a-boo Peek-a-boo
    Golly jeepers
    Where'd you get those peepers?
    Peepshow, creepshow
    Where did you get those eyes?

    For you guys, Nickel from Murmansk region, Russia.
    Btw, good clip, good music.

    White Lies - Farewell To The Fairground

    The lights still in our eyes,
    we're leaving this old fairground behind,
    it's a dream that's growing cold.

    The Circus never dies,
    the act forever haunts these skies,
    I know we cannot stay.

    Farewell to the fairground,
    these rides aren't working anymore.
    Goodbye to this dead town,
    until the ice begins to thaw.

    This place used to gleam,
    I see it in my hopeful dreams,
    now I have to get away.
    We move towards the stars,
    and all that we touch becomes ours,
    let's keep warm till it's day.

    Farewell to the fairground,
    these rides aren't working anymore.
    Goodbye to this dead town,
    until the ice begins to thaw.

    We'll head south, just hold my hand now.
    I feel like i'm casting off my clothes
    and I'm running through the snow towards the sunset
    and I'm always with you.

    Keep on running, keep keep on running,
    there's no place like home, there's no place like home.

    Farewell to the fairground,
    these rides aren't working anymore.
    Goodbye to this dead town,
    until the ice begins to thaw.

    We'll head south, just hold my hand now,
    I feel like i'm casting off my clothes
    and I'm running through the snow towards the sunset,
    and I'm always with you

    Is anyone here beside me into instrumental film music? You know, original soundtracks such as Hans Zimmer's Crimson Tide, Bear McGreary's Battlestar Galactica, etc.?

    Yeah Ant, actually I'm in the process of finding an appropriate soundtrack for my flashplayer porno with Uncles and Co. (Karl Lagerfeld, thermate man, Kimbo slice etc.) What kind of soundtrack goes with watchin Uncles get DP'd by Karl and Kimbo?

    Don't tell me "theme from star wars" pls. How about linus and lucy theme from charlie brown or maybe "Whole Lotta Love" by zep?

    :eek: :@prayer:

    "Baltar's Dream" is top Bear McReary stuff.

    Couple it with slow motion of the most powerful vehicle of all time and....well.

    Baltar's Dream

    Not necessarily. The "Davinci Code" soundtrack sounds completely different than the "Crimson Tide" one, for instance. Many of his works bear a certain resemblance to one another, but even so I've never seen a Hans Zimmer soundtrack that wasn't good.
