It's been a while since we've had a Tuesday Tune. I've been inspired by the unfolding drama taking place in Mark Trail's Arizona Adventure, so I thought I'd look for an appropriate soundtrack for the strip.
Title Theme - "Desert Rose" by Sting
Meth Addict Beth's Theme - "Being Alone Together" by David & David
The Eagle chick's Theme - "Feed Me" by Julianna Hatfield
The Injured Eagle's Theme - "Fly Away" by Lenny Kravitz
The Side-burn Badguys' Theme - "The Fun Lovin' Criminal" by Fun Lovin' Criminals
The Bobcat's Theme - "Kitty" by Presidents of the United States of America
Bob's Theme - "Our Love Would Be Much Better (If I Gave A Damn About You...)" by DAG
Devil Child's Theme - "Bad Baby" by Public Image Limited
The Giant Lizard's Theme - "Godzilla" by Blue Oyster Cult
But for our main man Mark Trail we need a special theme
"Here Come Cowboys" by the Psychedelic Furs.
"Here come Cowboys. Here to save us all. Here come Cowboys. They're so well inside the law. Here come Cowboys. They're no fun at all."
Seems to me to nail ol' Mark right on the head.
(For characters outside this current storyline, I suggest the following...
Cherry's Theme - "Spooky Girlfriend" by Elvis Costello
Doc's Theme - "Medicine Show" by Big Audio Dynamite
Rusty's Theme - hmmmm... maybe "Posterchild for Tragedy" by Sugarbomb? (Not sure on this one.)
Anyway... enjoy!
We all received daily Mark Trail strips at work and had running commentary on them for many weeks. For an example of Mark Trail, check this out.
