I love Marquee Moon, but I don’t see it as an accompaniment to shooting snowmen. “See No Evil” from the same album perhaps, or Patti Smith’s version of Gloria, if you want to stay in a downtown vibe? Otherwise, I would suggest something raucous and upbeat — Pogues (“If I Should fall From Grace With God”), early Los Lobos (“Anselma”) or, perhaps for irony, Elvis Costello singing “What’s So Funny ‘Bout Peace Love and Understanding?”.
I have music picked out if I ever skate for a gold medal in the short program at the Winter Olympics.
DIBS–
Just wanted to say was in philly over weekend and went to Le Virtu off your recomendation in an old Bk Vs Philly thread.
Good call, food was excellent!
What about that song by Grizzly Bear that you posted the video of once? You know where they are sitting in a church singing really high? That would go awesome with a snowman drive-by if the video is done right.
My favourite Broadway show is Miss Saigon.
Shocking?
“‘m thinking something totally in the opposite direction. perhaps some show tunes”
A bit of a “frou frou” suggestion, don’t ya think, DH? Worthy of an early GOTD.

Did somebody mention show tunes?
“Marquee Moon” by Television

“I’m trying to think of what music I would select for my drive-by performance. Gangsta rap is too obvious. Ride of the Valkyries is too been there done that.
Gogol?”
I’m thinking something totally in the opposite direction. perhaps some show tunes or something incredibly upbeat
