This Weekâs Theme:
A Week of Westerns with Jonah Hex!
As some of you mightâve heard, the Jonah Hex movie is coming to DC Universe, and being the community that we are, you know itâs bound to make for a rollicking good time! Considering, with the recent add of a new title to the service, our introduction to⊠spoiler alert, someone who happens to be a distant relation of his, weâd be remiss not to spend some time devoting a track or two to the man, himself, as well!
So tell us⊠in anticipation of the movieâs arrival, is there a Western-themed tune youâd use as soundtrack for saloon brawl, or a peaceful melody youâd listen to while watching the tumbleweeds blow by? What would you have on repeat while traveling horseback through dusty trails, from one place to another?
Let us know what comes to mind in the comments below!
While lyrics must abide to Forum Guidelines, the songs can be anything, of any genre, as long as it meets each weekâs theme!
Curious what Mixtape Monday is?
Every week, weâll post the title of our latest Mixtape, and you post a track of your choice in the comments below! Weâll follow up next Mixtape Monday with the full list of tunes collected from the week before. And if our âWhatâs the Last Song You Heard?â thread is any indication, you all have superb taste in tunes!
Sooo, I couldnât help myself this week, and must, therefore, present to you lovely folks⊠a couple of oldies (but goodies), courtesy of my dad. Enjoy!
Ennio Morricone is the obvious choice for any Jonah Hex playlist, but Iâm gonna go with a Western inspired piece from one of my favorite video games.
Well, this isnât a genre I really listen to, so for my first three picks I owe them all to the wonder of Fallout: New Vegas (I know youâve mentioned your love for Fallout in the past, which is your favorite game @MissInkBlot?)
âBig Ironâ, by Marty Robbins
Not too familiar with Jonah Hex, but from the few things Iâve seen, I feel this is a good fit for him.
âThe Courier Walks Softlyâ, by Inon Zur (from Fallout: New Vegas)
âHappy Timesâ, by Bert Weedon
These next two, I feel can represent the feelings of traversing the desert⊠Bad and (maybe) good.
And boy, oh boy, my last choice this week⊠you want a saloon brawl? Well you got it!
âSaloonâ, by The Ongoing Concept
We are Goinâ Out West this week! This is the perfect Tom Waits cover to play on that off chance you are on a road trip going west or if you have a masculine face.
Widespread Panic - Goinâ Out West
Before you get to the west, if you are coming from the east coast, you will need to travel through the midwest. The Forecast is from the midwest.
The Forecast - Somethings Never Change
When you finally get to the west I hope you donât run into Cowboy Dan.
Modest Mouse - Cowboy Dan
After running into Cowboy Dan it is best to reflect and ask How the West Was Won and Where It Got Us?
R.E.M. - How The West Was Won And Where It Got Us
This is a hard one because it feels like country might have the most fitting stuff for Jonah but Iâm really not much into that genre. Iâll give it a try.
28 Ghosts IV â Nine Inch Nails
The acoustic guitar gives this moody piece a sort of western edge that I think works for Jonah.
I was going to go with Johnny Cashâs âGodâs Gonna Cut You Down,â but in looking it up on YouTube I found out that Marilyn Manson actually did a cover of it a couple of years ago and I think his version has a bit more edge thatâs appropriate for Hex.
But hereâs some classic Johnny in âGhost Riderâs in the Skyâ:
âAll my rowdy friends are comin over tonightâ, by Hank Williams Jr., yes the old Monday
Night Football theme.
âAs Good Once as I Ever Wasâ, by Toby Keith, actually has a bar fight scene in the video
âRodeo IV Hoedownâ, by Aaron Copeland
âDeguelloâ from âRio Bravoâ , heck itâs a John Wayne movie, why not and,
âIl Trielloâ, by Ennio Morricone, (Rest in Peace sir) if youâve seen âThe Good, The Bad and The Uglyâ, itâs from the scene at the cemetery at the end of the movie, and
âThe Man With the Harmonicaâ, by Ennio Morricone, from âOnce Upon a Time in The Westâ,
The final duel between Charles Bronson and Henry Fonda.
Thereâs also some Wayon Jennings and Willie Nelson that Iâm thinking of but I thinks thatâs plenty for now. Thank you.
Mighty fine choice here fir 'dis here weekâs Mixtape mmmâhmmm.
(Gasp! My âfancyâ talkinâ returns @HubCityQuestion. Guess I be turnân to yon column to remedy it once more 'gain .)
Now, see here what we have for the gentleman HexâŠ
First, I be reminded of the venture Mr. Hex made in Batman The Animated Series some yon years ago when Mr. Hex be looking to take his man for a purty bounty. I 'magine this tune could be hurd for all those Mr. Hex be collecting a bounty.
In the same memberings, Mr. Hex was a constantly âminded that those bountyâs had ta be⊠WellâŠ
Being tha good man Mr. Hex is, this here song might do.
Tur finish off this here list would be this tune aftur a good dayâs workân and ridinâ off inâta that there yonder sunset.
Aw heck, letâs add âBig Bad Johnâ, by Jimmy Dean
âMamaâs, Donât Let Your Babies Grow Up to be Cowboysâ and,
âLuckenbach, Texasâ, by Waylon Jennings and Willie Nelson, also
âCome a Little Bit Closerâ, by Jay and The Americans. He gets chased away by a desperado
after getting suckered in by a saloon girl, and yes now that I think about it,
âDesperadoâ, by The Eagles. Sorry, thatâs more songs this week than since I started contributing to thisâŠ
Roy Rodgers and Dale Evens Happy Trails
America horse with no name
Ratt A Wanted Man
Aerosmith Back in the saddle
Christopher Cross ride like the wind
Iron Maiden Run to the Hills
Bon Jovi Blaze of Glory
10,000 Maniacs The Painted Desert
Willie Nelson On The Road Again
I will confess I know absolutely nothing about Country Western music. Way not my scene. But a few pop into my head.
I can see these first two being used as background for Jonah Hex fight scenes. Especially since heâs a bounty hunter, and that means people will be after him as well. Or as a background for him riding into town.
The Devil Went Down To Georgia- Charlie Daniels
The Devil Comes Back To Georgia - Charlie Daniels
Whenever somebody mentions âCountry Westernâ music, my brain always flashes back to a tiny scene from The Blues Brothers movie
Elwood: What kind of music do you usually have here?
Waitress: Oh, we have both kinds , country AND western.
This could be used for a big saloon brawl scene or a panoramic shot of him traveling by horse.
Rawhide - The Blues Brothers
Having some Native American ancestry, I feel compelled to include this. While Jonah Hex has a moral code, I wonder how he would feel or act, had he come across âthe trail of tearsâ.
