err, yeah thanks - i checked that out already but there were so many that I thought i'd give answerbank a shot. imdb listed the 2 soundtracks of Grosse Pointe Blank and I think thats what you've listed there... and then some! I use imdb a lot of the time, and when i checked out pretty much every available resource on the net then do I post an answer on AnswerBank... :P thanks anyway for the snappy reply! Looks like i WILL have to trawl through that list in the end!

Ahh... whoops.Well, if you can remember anything about the music - lyrics, instrumentation, gender of voices - I should be able to help you exclude someof the above, even if I can't name that tune in one...

[tm85]

nah - don't worry about it. this website's feeding my compulsive obsessive behaviour of finding out every song i hear on tv. mental note - must get out more! :oD

If it helps, I can narrow down the list to these: War Cry - Joe Strummer and Richard Norris Fugue in A-Minor - Brahms The Killing Moon - Echo & the Bunnymen A Message to You Rudy - The Specials Monkey Gone to Heaven - The Pixies Ace of Spades - Motorhead In Between Days - The Cure Your Lucky Day in Hell - The Eels Sharks Can't Sleep - Tracy Bonham Little Luxuries - The Burros You're Wondering Now - The Specials Big Boss Man - Jimmy Reed Detroit City - Bobby Bare White Lines - Grandmaster Melle Mel Walk Like an Egyptian - The Bangles Under Pressure - David Bowie (with Queen) Cities in Dust - Siouxsie & The Banshees Go - Tones On Tail The Dominatrix Sleeps Tonight - Dominatrix Let It Whip - The Dazz Band Doors of Your Heart - The Beat Lorca's Novena - The Pogues I have the OST part 1, and that song's not on it. Plus, I know its definitely not some of the other songs I've deleted from the list (because I've heard them). I'd also say its probably not anything by The Specials (but I'm not an expert in any way). My bet would be on The War Cry, or The Killing Moon. Just a guess though.

heh - seiously though, don't worry about it! :P I sifted through audio clips of both soundtracks on cdnow.com and found nothing that resembles that tune, so i'm giving up. thanks anyway guys and gals!
