A few months ago I went through a pretty unhealthy David Lynch phase...watched close to everything he has filmed (including all of Twin Peaks...and the bullshit followup movie, which led to some interesting social/seasonal quirks). Regardless, I discovered one of Lynch's greatest films, and my favorite, Blue Velvet, which features one of the most brilliant uses of music in film I have ever experienced. Without giving away the movie, the song 'In Dreams' by Roy Orbison acts as both background and foreground to the film. The most memorable moments in this surrealist thriller involve this beautiful Orbison ballad. The song was originally released in the 1963, but he rerecorded it (the following version) for Blue Velvet.

This is the one song i look for first every time i encounter a jukebox.
