Some very spookyish swanky songs on these soundtracks:

Wild At Heart: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack - Angelo Badalamenti, Various Artists

Twin Peaks (TV Soundtrack) - Angelo Badalamenti

Miserlou - Dick Dale (Crazy surf guitar, cats. I dig it!)

Let's Go Trippin' - Dick Dale

Riders In The Sky - Dick Dale

Combustible Edison - Vertigogo

Good choices all around! I think we need some swanky rock, though. Buddy Holly? Or, from a bit later, Nancy (These Boots Are Made For Walking) Sinatra? I can even think of a few Beatles songs that might qualify.

Definitely some Tom Waits spoken word tracks.

I'm thinking some French YeYe girl rock from the 60's...

Ooooh yeah, "These Boots are Made For Walking"! Go-Go boot swank, I can dig! :cool:

I did as well. Possibly from Rubber Soul or Revolver. Pretty swank stuff there.

And for some reason, "She's Come Undone" by The Guess Who keeps popping into my head, as does "The Wind Cries Mary" by Hendrix.

Yeah, I think swanky rock exists.

Well, if swank is our need, then we've got to funkifize, so;

Tower of Power - Live. Any track will do.

Also, without some Parliament, P-Funk especially, our hip is flat, pops.

Then, let's see.

Miles and his Birth of the Cool. If those sweet, velvety rich reverberations of auditory deliciousness don't satiate your appetite for swank, then unclog your tone holes my man.

The man himself, my sensei of swank and the supreme savior of cool, my own personal hero John Coltrane. For those listeners only beginning their journey, any track from Giant Steps will slide. But for us true connoisseurs, I'd say Love Supreme. Difficult to take, but the way to enlightenment, even in swank, always is.

And we can't forget the funkiest cat blowin' horn and burnin' vocals today; the one and only Maceo Parker. His live album, it's the rocks baby. Shake Everything You Got. Listen to it, then do it.

We'll have this joint burnin' in no time. :cool:

I and my collection of lounge and easy listening music are available. Where do we apply? :cool:

Tom is definitely swanky.:cool:
