I saw the movie ONCE 20 years ago, and not again since...and hearing this song took me back there immediately.  Tells you something (not sure what, but something....)

The whirring noise in the background is Carl Orf, wondering why anyone would do this to his Musicalisches Hausbuch.

Love this tune, not so much for the music itself but for a momentary escape back to the movie which had an absolutely great soundtrack from start to finish.  One of Tarentinos best efforts in my opinion.

Really! With a role like that Hopper really couldn't overact. He could have been merely cartoonish but he completely filled that character with evil. His role as the hopped-up photographer in "Apocalypse Now" was just as good. He must have been drawing from his personal experiences of drug-fueled craziness. 

I first saw "Blue Velvet" in England with a girlfriend. We walked out feeling battered, pissed-on and generally slapped around. Outside the theater was this loud British prick laughing his head off and explaining to his equally shellshocked companions that the film was a brilliant send-up of America. I think we all wanted to beat the guy up but were just feeling too fragile. 

Saw it again after a friend explained the film. Brilliant yes but one of the toughest cinematic experiences I've ever dealt with.

 I think you have to see the movie to understand this particular song.  It comes right after an utterly destructive shootout scene where your left wondering who is alive and who is dead.

This song is not cool at all.

I watched that whole film waiting for some terrible cliche violence to happen. It never did. Brilliant movie.

I don't know who does the music selections for Terrence Mallick's films, but for me it has spawned a whole new avenue of exploration.

He's better as a supporting-role guy to me: "Rebel Without A Cause" or "Cool Hand Luke".  He is great in "Easy Rider", though.

This track makes me smile every single time.
I could only stomach the first 30 minutes of the movie so I don't know if the tune is supposed to ironic, does not matter, this tune is too much fun to dislike.

I agree. That movie was awesome. Hans Zimmer is a brilliant composer as well.

Can't remember this at all. I think you've inspired me to see the movie again. Hopper and Walken on screen are weirdly captivating, even when the script is bad and they're not acting all that well. 

My two favorite Hopper roles were the crazed photographer in "Apocalypse Now" and Frank in "Blue Velvet" but I've never seen "Easy Rider" or all of "Hoosiers."

This feels like a rip-off of a Carl Orff composition from Schulwerk. I much prefer the original.

Looks like Zimmer "borrowed"/paid homage to Gassenhauer by Orff: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gassenhauer

You can hear the original here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TQ9_6W6bVoQ

Researching this was a perfect distraction!

Yes, Tarantino surely liked that movie, it inspired both True Romance and Natural Born Killers.
