Some of you who have seen the new Wes Anderson film “The Darjeeling Limited” (which was awesome) may have been intrigued (as I was) by the recurring song that Jason Schwartzman’s character seems to carry with him like an albatross throughout the movie. The song is called “Where Do You Go To (My Lovely)” and was written by Peter Sarstedt in the late ‘60s. It was actually a number one hit for over a month in the UK and several other countries before it faded into obscurity. The freshly dug up song is the first track on “Darjeeling” ’s official soundtrack. Fittingly for the film, Sarstedt happens to have been born in India.

There are a few other great songs featured in “The Darjeeling Limited”. The Kinks make a return appearance in a Wes Anderson movie (they also had a song featured in “Rushmore”) with three songs, the best of which is called “This Time Tomorrow.” The Rolling Stones’ “Playing With Fire” is a great example of how good the band can be when Mick Jagger isn’t trying to simultaneously sing and achieve an orgasm. Most of the instrumental Indian music used for the film is even pretty cool by itself. All in all, I would say that Anderson’s quirky-yet-surprisingly-appropriate song selections, something he has developed quite a reputation for, continue to add a charming sparkle to his work.
