So just to bring everything full circle today, I went to Borders when I got out of work and purchased a Johnny Mathis greatest hits cd. Me and the old guy in the easy listening section. It amused me. I really do have a soft spot for old music. I mean 40's-50's. Swing, big band, early Sinatra, and others that I don't even really know who the artist is. I want to look into it more. Maybe wander around amazon.com, that is usually a good place to start with all the people that have lists up on everything under the sun. And I still stand by my feeling that some of these songs could be very creepy under the right circumstances. I mean, the twelfth of never? Come on, that is a serious stalker song. There is just something about how minimalist it is. A little bit of music, usually strings, in the background. Some high pitched background singers that aren't even saying words. And Johnny's strong smooth deep voice. I don't know, could be good music for a horror movie. Oh yes, and it was Wonderful, Wonderful that they used in the X-Files episode "Home." You know, the episode that Fox banned after it aired? The one that was too disturbing? Yup, Johnny Mathis. Creepy.
