Film Music

THE MUSIC OF WES ANDERSON FILMS

He loves the era of Love, The Rolling Stones, The Kinks, The Who…etc, etc, etc. These old rustic pop songs often soundtrack slow-motion scenes beautifully. This entry is an accolade to Wes Anderson, on the back of his Fantastic Mr. Fox film that I am led to believe is entirely different to his normal vein of quip, witty indie flicks that are a little bit clever and a lot of cool…

The Rolling Stones – 2000 Man (from the close of Bottle Rocket)

The Kinks – Nothing In This World Can Stop Me Worrying About That Girl (from Bill Murray’s bomb into a swimming pool in Rushmore)

Paul Simon – Me And Julio Down By The Schoolyard (from the boy’s rebellion with Gene Hackman in The Royal Tennenbaums)

Peter Sarstedt – Where Do You Go To My Lovely (from The Darjeeling Limited)

David Bowie – Queen Bitch (from the close of The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou that is a very cool tribute to Buckaroo Banzai)
