List of every song played in Shag, scene by scene. (Both versions)
First off, I'm a die hard Shag fan and put a lot of effort into a little soundtrack project I'd like to share here.
Years ago I had posted this list in the message board, but I can't seem to find it now. As I needed to reference my list again recently, I figured I'd share it on the message board again for anyone who loves the movie and its music. Most fans know Shag has two versions, so I picked apart each and plucked the songs scene by scene.
(Starred songs indicate that it's the same song in both versions!)
