Forget the movie version of "The Loved One"! It's an idiot version of Evelyn Waugh's sardonic novel "The Loved One", which is SO much more intelligent !
...always interesting to hear what gets done w/ a Standard like 'Money'. Like somebody said : makes sense a significant label was called 'Chess' - because it's like the game chess - you can learn the form pretty quick - but Mastery...
Or put it another way: When the Tune is simple, that when you better Bring It - cause you ain't left w/ much else otherwise...

Hey, for the Idols song "The Prowler," does anyone know offhand what music the opening notes are from?
I've heard it in, like, a zillion old cartoons & used in other songs, but I never knew where it originated... and it drives me a little crazy, haha...
...no - I'm think 'The Funeral March of a Marionette (Marche funèbre d'une marionnette) - a short piece by Charles Gounod. It was written in 1872'
- but that's the Hitchcock theme!...
...it goes :
Em-G-B-Em (higher octave)
C-B-A-G-F#-Em ...as it were
...It occurs to me TheMunsters' theme is based on it (?) - but not even this helps me Googles it...
