2.0 out of 5 stars Buffalo Bill's Song, June 7, 2005

By	Ausar "Music fan" (Pennsylvania) - See all my reviews

This album is fine...well produced.

i just wanted to point out that the song which Buffalo Bill Jame Gumb is playing while applying the skin suit, and Catherine gets the poodle with teh bucket...the name of this song is "Goodbye Horses" by Q Lazzarus. and its spelled just like that. Another reviewer mistakenly titled it as "Alone" by Colin Newman....i found that song and it definitely isn't the correct song for that scene. don't even remember that being in the movie....oh well. Anyway, i hope i've helped some other's out.

"Goodbye Horses,
I'm flying over you.
Goodbye horses,
I'm flying over you
Goodbye Horses,
I'm flying over you.
Goodbye horses,
I'm flying over you
Goodbye horses,
I'm flying, flying, flying over youooooooo-ooo-oooooooooo"

2.0 out of 5 stars That other cool song..., May 11, 2001

By	William C. Chesser "gyr8or" (Falls Church, VA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Besides the Q Lazarus song, Goodbye Horses, the song that is playing while Gumb is sewing the skin suit is called "Alone" by Colin Newman. Colin was/is the main singer for the seminal British group, WIRE (who've been together on and off now since 1977). "Alone" is from his first solo album, A to Z (released in 1982, a brilliant slab of post-punk dementia). A to Z, was Colin's best most fully realised solo effort, and one of my favorite albums ever. I don't know if it was ever released on CD, but it is worth seeking out.

4.0 out of 5 stars Yay Howard Shore. But where is Q. Lazzarus?, August 1, 2006

By	Robert T. Baker "nerd" (Santa Monica, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

You can't mess with the music of Howard "Lord of the Rings" Shore. My friend's college roommate used to play this soundtrack over and over to creep people out. It loses a star for the exclusion of Q. Lazzarus's "Goodbye Horses," the song accomanying Buffalo Bill during his famous "tuck" dance. Please don't be mislead by numerous commentators on this page that claim this song is originally by Psyche. They did a poor cover version of it. The original is by Q. Lazzarus, and I believe it will be on the "Clerks II" soundtrack in a few weeks.
