For single fsmers.
Much piss taking has been made over the years to the single. So I thought I'd ask this-

If you were in the position of a having a living person ( i.e.a potential love interest, not the plumber) in your basement, then what would you play to win them over and not bang and scratch at the door (which your cleverly locked , while they weren't looking). For example you wouldnt play them Jerry's Apes, unless they were particularly hairy.
One condition : not just one track from this or that but the majority of a score.
For me perhaps
Dances with wolves
Somewhere in time.
Last of the dogmen
Murder in the first
Metti uns sera a cena
Curly Sue
Blue Lagoon
For a start
And remember it's only a bit of fun. Don't keep typing 'I'm so lonely' over and over.

Somewhere In Time is great "make out" or whathaveyou music. And that short 30-something minute MCA album is the perfect timing.

Okay, sometimes it plays on repeat, on a good night.

And THEN...POTENTIAL AUDIO MIS-TREATMENT!!!

Damian, can you tell me your whereabouts between 7pm and 1am, when the young lady was reported as missing?

My wife doesn't normally let me, but whenever I have living persons trapped in the basement, I play "Indian Love Call" over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again. And again. Until I have wooed them. Unfortunately, they sooner or later start banging and scratching at the door, unless their heads explode before that.

Ah, I can see the error of my ways now.

Aah now some years ago, I did my wife a CD of lovely-dovey instrumental film music, with a cover and my own liner notes. The following year, I did her a CD of all cover versions of the song Pure Imagination by different singers and musicians.

I'll try to remember the lovey dovey disc or as many as I can, as it's at home right now:-

Chinatown main title
You're The One (Circle of Friends)
Katya (The Russia House)
Thinking of... Him! and The Date (The Naked Gun)

Check back later and I'll put the full list here.

Most likely shouts from detainee (victim?)...

"Please...stop playing that Classical Music and I'll do whatever you want..."

"Do you have any Taylor Swift?"

Full list not required. I said in my opening post- not one track from this or that. Therefore no compilations, bought or made. I asked for the 'majority ' of a score. For example on Murder in the first I'd probably skip the newsreels.

Plus your not single. Neither are you Hurdy.

Ooh I beg your pudding. But rather discriminatory! big grin

Lovey dovey most of the film score (even though I'm excluded) - I'd say The Russia House from my perspective but my wife would choose Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (I proposed to her, singing subtly altered lyrics to Pure Imagination).

And all the ladies love saxplayers! Learn to play the sax, you'll be married in no time! razz

In my younger days, I had three soundtrack LPs that led to "making out." They were:

BODY HEAT--- John Barry
CARNY--- mainly the Robbie Robertson portion of the score
THE GHOST AND MRS. MUIR---Bernard Herrmann

All that was missing was someone else.

Just remember, when she says that she loved the music in Witness, she doesn't mean the entire soundtrack.

She just liked the Barn Building section.

More likely Sam Cooke.

So many score albums, especially complete and chronological releases, of necessity include cues that are not very romantic. I think Barry might be the best option here – Hanover Street, Tamarind Seed, Dances with Wolves, Somewhere in Time, and the Romance for Guitar & Orchestra from Deadfall and its score might work! Suites of Delerue and Rozsa might be nice, but there may be mood breaking moments in those, too. You could always cue up The Lion in Winter for a grand…entrance.

There are probably many synth scores that are romantic and moody – the new release of Gwendoline is very lovely indeed. Maybe some Francis Lai – A Man and a Woman. Love Story perhaps and Romeo and Juliet as long as the repetitive themes don’t get too tiresome.

Delerue’s Something Wicked This Way Comes when you want to change into that clown costume while the circus music plays! smile

I did point out that you can drop an odd cue here n there. Just no one track wonders. And Barry is a good start .

Do that when you get bored and want her to go home. Or to wake her up. Both would be a good laugh( I jest).
