You know the tune.
The theme from Twin Peaks.
You know Twin Peaks is now back, on Showtime.
You might know the song, and most of the rest of the haunting soundtrack, was written and performed by Angelo Badalamenti.
You might not know that the theme song has lyrics, and that Julee Cruise, Badalamenti's muse at the time, did the singing. You might recognize her as the roadhouse singer on Twin Peaks (she will be reprising the role in the revival).
The song itself, with lyrics, is haunting and somewhat sad. And Cruise delivers it flawlessly, with a tremendous vocal range.
Of course, when you sing such an iconic song, you have to sing it again....
....and again....
...and again. Oops. Sorry. This is an appearance she made with the B-52s when she stood in for Cindy Wilson.
I know you didn't really recognize the song with vocals, so here is the instrumental version that serves as the theme from Twin Peaks.
