This is killing me...


Hi! Does anyone know the name of the song playing in the back of this short? It sounds familiar, I think Ive heard it before, but I really dont know anything about music... its a GREAT song, thats all I know... thank you!
Cant wait for te release of Angers films on DVD, by Fantoma... i like their work very much, and KA is one of my all times faves. Does anyone know anything about this release?

I was looking myself online, and I found out on this site:http://www.subcin.com/anger.html

It appears that the singer is named Jonathan Halper

Unbelievable! I am on this message board for exactly the same reason. We volume 1 of the Anger films from Netflix, and were amazed by it. But we both wanted to know the name of the band playing the song. I would assume the name of the song is "I am a Hermit." That would seem logical.
Anyway, does anybody know?

Thanks! Much Appreciated!

That did strike me odd when I viewed, that a 1949 piece would contain a soundtrack so "ahead of its time." No technical explanation was offered in the Vol. I collection, so thanks for the clarification.

It's Jonathan Halper, but the track was added by Anger in 1966.

I have to say it grates a bit with the subject matter, because they're now both anachronistic. Maybe it worked in the 60's to have a then-contemporary backing track, but now it's ghastly....
