Track of the Week: "Crime Spree" by Danny Elfman, from Dick Tracy



I loves me some Danny Elfman, so even though his score for Dick Tracy may be rather derivative of his score for Batman, I find it enjoyable nonetheless. One of the stand-out cues from this score is the swingy, jazzy "Crime Spree," full of Elfman's trademark zany-ness. The main theme isn't half bad either, along with the rest of the Gershwin-influenced album ("Tess' Theme" is also one to listen to). If you're any kind of Elfman enthusiast, don't pass this one up!
