All 22 songs from Inglourious Basterds Soundtrack

Tarantino takes 22 songs from classic movies to create the soundtrack to Inglourious Basterds. You can find all of them here. Only half of them are on the official soundtrack album to Inglourious Basterds.

This movie was brilliant. Brad Pitt doing an Tennesee accent of an EYE-talian accent was fantastic. I also dare you to look at a Bowie knife or a baseball bat in the same way. If only reality could have played out Inglourious Basterds style and we would have (SPOILER ALERT) taken Hitler out in a burnt down, blown up, machine gun riddled theater.

I am digging on this soundtrack too. In fact, through most of the movie, I was scribbling furiously, trying to figure out whether individual songs were tributes to old scores or actual songs themselves. I recognized Ennio Morricone’s iconic style, as well as David Bowie’s song Cat People, but most of the other songs were unknown to me.

Update: Billboard has a great interview with Quentin Tarantino discussing how he picked out the music for Inglorious Basterds from the record room in house.

There were only a handful of songs with lyrics, including the German music played in the tavern. The rest were instrumentals that mixed hollow guitar, piano, horns, drums and even a bit of twang. The music was perfect for the movie, and set the tone for the film.
