Soundtrack Q & A
Q: What is the name of the INXS song in this movie? Thanks for your response. (from Mike in Wisconsin)
A: There is no INXS song in this movie. If you are referring to the song heard during Buffalo Bill's transformation, that song (I was also looking for and it took me a long time to find it) is called "Goodbye Horses" by Q Lazzarus. Other than that, the other songs are by Tom Petty, the Fall, Colin Newman and a few others. Hope this is of some help. (thanks to steveo, massachusettsadd more info
