My true love's eyes.
On the Japanese-import The Brown Bunny DVD, Vincent Gallo discusses (yes, there's one of these on there -- it's equal parts informative, inspiring, and hilarious, ranging from thoughtful ruminations on the creative process to calling Kirsten Dunst "Spider Girl") Jackson C. Frank's 1965 album Blues Runs The Game, one of his all-time favorites. The album includes "Milk And Honey", which Gallo uses in the film, as well as the stunning trailer. Being an unbridled Gallo enthusiast and completist (still saving up for the seed!), I made an immediate purchase.
Dig some folk before it all went freaky (especially recommended for long, cross-country drives while gazing into America's camera-flared landscapes through a bug-specked windshield):
Jackson C. Frank - "Blues Run The Game" (single version)
Jackson C. Frank - "Milk And Honey"
Jackson C. Frank - "My Name is Carnival"
Jackson C. Frank - "Can't Get Away From My Love"

Speaking of folk music, be sure to grab the soundtrack to Breakin' 2: Electric Boogalo.

You beat me to that Breakin 2 link. I was gonna concoct some deal about how maybe if the audio media gets thrown around a bit more we can officially retire the haha-all-fake-sequels-should-have-Electric-Boogaloo-appended joke. Dr. Red Duke first used this joke to great effect in 1991 -- I'm pretty sure that Tina Fey was working it into WU jokes last season.

Breakin' 2 deserves it's own post.
George Kranz's "Din Daa Da" is amazing! Baca baca baca baca baca baca boo!
Did Super Mario Bros. rip-off the bassline to Steve Donn's "Gotta Have The Money" for the underground theme?
