Faye Dunaway

Barney (... And Me) from The Boo Radleys' 1993 magnum opus Giant Steps popped up randomly this week during my drive to work, which itself randomly name checks Faye Dunaway. This then got me thinking - as you do - whether it would be possible to compile a half-decent playlist of songs named after Faye Dunaway movies. The answer is yes, yes you can. I've thrown in The Boo Radleys song which inspired this particular rabbit hole, for good measure.
 
1)  Chinatown: Romeo Void (1982)
2) Bonnie And Clyde: Mick Harvey ft. Anita Lane (1995)
3) Barney (... And Me) (Album Version): The Boo Radleys (1993)
4) The Chamber: The Last Shadow Puppets (2008)
5) The Happening: Pixies (1990)
6) Towering Inferno: The Green Arrows (1975)
7) Barfly: Monaco (2000)
8) The Arrangement: Ryuichi Sakamoto ft. Robin Scott (1982)
9) Casanova: Roxy Music (1974)
10) Last Goodbye (Album Version): Jeff Buckley (1994)

  1. Many thanks, both. I was momentarily torn between Altered Images and Jeff Buckley for Last Goodbye, but it had to be the latter. Love Lies Bleeding by Thompson Twins didn't make the cut, but otherwise the track listing more or less fell straight into place.
