[UA] UA Soundtracks (was Deja vu all over again)

[Royal Minister of Stuff]

In all seriousness, I think the music and lyrics of
Elvis Costello's "Beyond Beleif" have a great UA feel,
an they really match what I would hope my campaigns
themes would be.

I'd also include REM's "superman," "Country Skin" from
Danny Elfman's "Nightbreed" soundtrack and "Classical
Gas" by Mason Williams, just because no game which
might have a chase scene should be without it.  I'd
also include at least one Willy Nelson song (Probably
"Pancho and Lefty") and something by Copeland because,
Goddammit, I'm an American.

I also have "Les Belle Americans" by Orfenbach handy
just in case something extremely exciting and weird
happens.
