Soundtracks always have to have the sound of some sort of horse track or race track on them.

Let's spread some musical misinformation

"The Tracks Of My Tears" had a galloping Clydesdale about halfway through the song but was edited out just prior to release.
If you can't clap in time you need to be the lead singer in a funk band that has no bass player.
On a per note basis, reggae players are the highest paid bass players in the industry, followed closely by Tom Petty's bass player.
Usually the cookie crumbles..but not always..as in the case of King Biscuit Boy, who's album "Badly Bent" highlighted how a cookie can bend badly if it's too moist.
It is widely believed that King Biscuit Boy originated 'Cookie Monster Vocals' that were then widely adopted by heavy metal bands. This of course is false, it all started with Elmo
Richard Newell ( King Biscuit Boy) was well aware that he had competition from Elmo.
This album cover photo was taken when an industry rep told him that Elmo was ahead of him in record sales.
Note the extended middle finger of his right hand...... a surreptitious insulting gesture to the croaky puppet..

Yes, you might like to know that the gesture he is making is known as the Canadian one up. What he is doing is pointing at himself while holding a bottle of Labatt's Blue. He is making clear "I invented Cookie Monster vocals"
Hellman's Mayonnaise is the best mayonnaise for metal.
Rickenbacker decided to produce their basses with a slightly shorter scale, in order to save the rainforests.
Hellboy was considered as the replacement for Cliff Burton in Metallica, but was ultimately rejected as he made Lars feel short.
You need two basses anyway, because flatwound strings can't play sharp notes.
It's precisely because strings are round that no-one seems to ever get the exact tone they want.
Audio tests have proven over and over again that square strings are better.
Square dancers have known for decades that in music anything square is better.
Square drums sound better than round ones too.
The expression "Let's get squared away" was used by early jazz musicians.
In the fifties, hip musicians would often lovingly refer to other non-musicians as "squares", meaning the person was a "diamond in the rough".
Most bass amp makers use a square cube cab design to counteract the shortcomings of the round bass string.
All sheet music is written on a rectangular piece of paper which is as close to a square as they can get.
Music written on a circular piece of paper will sound atrocious when played.
The Square Of Fifths should be experienced by everyone at least once. Yes..it's that good.
So good they had to downgrade it to the Circle Of Fifths because they believed the average person couldn't handle listening to something so beautiful.
Square records sound immensely better than the circular vinyl LP and CD.
It was just laziness and economics on the part of record-makers that resulted in round records.

Based on that, Dusty Hill is the best paid bass player in the world. He is worth 56 million dollars and Victor Wooten is the worst paid. He is worth only 5 million.
