What is the song that plays when Woody Allen's mother comes to his workplace with her friend??

I dont know, but it's the same as the one at the start of Ghost World.

Bob Crosby and the Bobcats - Big Noise From Winnetka.

I think that's it anyway. This song has been used in Raging Bull too - when teh camera tracks into Frankie Vincent. Also, it has been used in another Woody Allen film - I think.

contact me if you want to "find" this song and more.

It's called Sing Sing Sing by Benny Goodman. Woody has used it in at least 3 films. Great jazz piece with great drumming.

Edit: It's not Big Noise From Winnetka. I have it in my collection as well. Scorsese used Big Noise in Raging Bull. Woody also used it. It's a great improv that though was recorded in like, 1937 is very early rock and roll to my ears.

The song used when Sheldon's mother and aunt come to work is Sing, Sing, Sing by Benny Goodman. The song used during the magic show is In a Persian Market by Wilbur de Paris.
