re: Songs That Would Make Good Movies

quote:

---

The Road Goes On Forever- Robert Earl Keene
Poncho and Lefty- Willy Nelson and Merle Haggard

First 2 I thought of. Add Red Headed Stranger to the list, though maybe they tried to make a movie of that one?

The Devil Went Down to Georgia

quote:

---

Poncho and Lefty- Willy Nelson and Merle Haggard

Pretty sure Townes Van Zandt wrote that.

"Atlantic City" by Bruce Springsteen

Werewolves of London

+1 for El Paso and Poncho and Lefty.

Some more to consider:

My Way - Frank Sinatra
Inner City Blues - Marvin Gaye
Lawyers, Guns, and Money - Warren Zevon
Kid Charlemagne - Steely Dan
The Royal Scam - Steely Dan
Born Under a Bad Sign - Albert King
Tin Pan Alley - Stevie Ray Vaughn
Ghost Riders in the Sky - Johnny Cash

quote:

El Paso - Marty Robins

Also, Big Iron

A bunch of Grateful Dead songs would work. China Cat Sunflower could be wild, Wharf Rat to name a couple.

Almost any Bob Dylan. Joey, Shelter from the Storm are a couple that come to mind.

Hotel California

I've often thought about this. In a manner similar to Rocky Horror Show.

Driving down a highway at night the driver sees the Hotel in the distance, stops and checks in. Then all kind of things happen in accord with the words.

Of course, every lyric would have to be spoken as is at some time in the movie.

At the end, the driver is sitting on the front porch (you can check out but you can never leave) watching traffic go by, but the drivers on the road see only an old, run down deserted hotel.

Red Barchetta - Rush

Cygnus X-1 Books 1&2 - Rush

2112 - Rush
