Homicide: Life on the Streets ... storyline music

[ShellinPA]

I'm not sure what season it was from, but Kellerman was just getting cozy
with the new cororner. The camera guy, Brody did a compilation thing for
PBS and in the background was a tune: "and it was boom boom boom, boom
boom boom .. all night long", etc.

Does anybody have any info on this tune and how I might be able to get a
hold of it. I've tried everywhere.

"Boom, Boom, Boom," by The Iguanas. If only y'all would remember The Only
Homicide-Related Website You'll Ever Need, http://members.aol.com/hlotslinks.
Click on "Stuff," then scroll all the way to the bottom, and you'll find the
tune is on two different CDs at Amazon, plus you can check out The Iguanas'
official website.

My work here is done.

Thank you Robin ... I will check out the site you mentioned. I myself had
never heard of it before but if it is truly "the only homicide-related
website I'll ever need" then what more can a person ask for.

Again ... thank you very much. That tune has been driving my crazy for
years.

that version is a 'cover' of the John Lee Hooker song
you owe it to yourself to seek out the original - my work here is done

Not so fast, bunky. The Iguanas did *not* do a cover version of John
Lee Hooker's "Boom Boom". Just doing a partial comparison of the
lyrics will show you:

"Boom Boom" by John Lee Hooker

Boom, boom, boom, boom
I'm gonna shoot you right down
Knock you off of your feet
And take you home with me
Put you in my house
Boom, boom, boom, boom



"Boom, Boom, Boom" by Rod Hodges (as performed by The Iguanas)

He walked down the street to the corner liquor store
Got some cigarettes and wine then he backed out the door
Now he's back page news
Down in the neighborhood

And it's boom, boom, boom
Boom, boom, boom
Boom, boom all night long
Boom, boom, boom
Boom, boom all night long


Two totally different songs.

Highly recommends to listening to both songs - closely.

and thus...the door has been splayed for me (i couldn't spell openned,
or opened)

a few years back, new york city pseudo-intels all thought john lee was
the intellectually cool guy to listen to (to show their coolness) for a
time. They ended up over-glorifying him. so I like this one better. the
iguana's song is more fatalistically intriguing. i mean, in my opinion.
i mean it cuts thru the haze, ya dig?

morph - had an iguana as a kid, maybe is jaundiced?

Replying to my own post because, like an idiot (though not like a
certain idiot godlet who shall remain nameless <g>), I left out a line

As snarkums would say, "smooches."

<< now please mention the soundtrack :) >>

You mean, that incredible 4-CD set of musical highlights from the soundtrack of
Homicide: Life on the Street? Is it that to which you refer, sir? Put
together, with a fan's love and sheer idiocy, by a certain unnameable,
unknowable and ineffable godlet? Is this the soundtrack you have in mind?
Because it is fabulous, indeed, a thing of beauty; no well-appointed CD
collection complete without.

Trixie
don't leave home without it
