Escape From New York Soundtrack Track 8. "The Duke Arrives/The Barricade"

[@yeyo1990]

Ah, the good old days when driving down the street with chandeliers on the hood of your car were all the rage.

[@Al_NERi]

or the head of The Prez if the Duke Of NY had his way.

[@fungo6631]

@@Al_NERi Didn't the Duke say that their best man (Snake Plissken) would lead the way from the neck up?

[@Al_NERi]

@Discord Guy yes I stand corrected

[@stevemt3238]

No doubt, the best track of the album.

[@CastroEulis145]

Like how Carpenter funked it up a little for The Duke

[@Lokstock220]

Hell yea he did

[@davidtorres4645]

Me too. I always look forward to the scenes where the Dukes theme is featured

Snake, Snake, Snake!

That's some gangsta ass shit rite there, I should do that on my mini van , dunno how my wife feel about dat tho 🤔

[@VodkaDrinker77]

The song slaps hard. You could turn this out on the dance floor right NOW and people will be going crazy for that beat

[@EnjoySackLunch]

Reminds me a lot of Faltermyer’s CITY DEPOSIT from bevcop2

[@jnieves77]

This sound like it could’ve been a perfect score for The Warriors also seeing that both films came out around the same era and were only 2 years apart.

[@VodkaDrinker77]

I could see that.

[@christophertmunro4503]

THE DUKE, A NO. 1!!!!!!!!

[@Mike88647]

Loved this movie since I was a kid, soundtrack works so well adding depth to the scenes for its time.

[@EQOAnostalgia]

Yeah this movie was written like a western but had a decayed aesthetic mixed with a tech/noir feel to it that was fantastic.

[@kennethknoppik5408]

@@EQOAnostalgia all the Carpenters films are basically westerns. He said so.

[@casseable]

"DON'T CROSS THE DUKE, EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT!"

[@kidcaramba2392]

Man i just love Carpenters music, i mean that guy was perfect for the time and place.... the big lebowsky quote comes into mind.

[@risenfromyoutubesashesagai6302]

Which quote... "The dude abides," "ahhh, nice marmot," or "Heeeey watch, man!!! There's a beverage here!?!?"

[@kidcaramba2392]

[@heytimgarcia]

Love this...

[@EltonBrasilTV]

[@macgregordavis959]

It's time to roll up in D.C like the Duke.

[@francescocaon3334]

Magical soundtrack. Power and fear at the same time.

[@johnstaffyOTBC]

The duke ? Everyone knows the duke . Timeless music ..

[@ZTVbrotha]

Carpenter is one of the best at scoring diy music love this theme

[@antestiusleontius3774]

The genius of Jestofunk was to glimpse the explosive potential in just 5 really useful seconds of this track. CeCe Rogers' voice packaged everything perfectly.

[@StevenJShow]

Theft. Its called theft.

[@paulcristianmartinezcardon550]

El fin de semana pasado volví a ver la obra de arte. Carpenter es un genio. Obra maestra. Música pelicula. Escenas . Trama. Es mi soundtrack favorito. Muy avenido a los tiempos de hoy día.

[@michaelsilagyi7519]

The chandelier on the caddy...the hydraulics...... super gangster 😂😂

[@AbeStephan]

Sounds so GANGSTA of the future . I wonder how many rappers took samples of this or any of Carpenter's music .

[@sarper9293]

Great. Johnt carpenter we love you. From Turkey.

[@Brb559]

The drop on this is so hard

[@scottmmafan925]

You know what I forgot to ask for since the last time I heard this song in the theater? I GOTTA HAVE MORE COW BELL!!!

[@jessenorgrove1702]

Fry’s electronics used one of the songs on this album for the background music in their radio ads in the 90’s.Can you all figure out which one they used.

[@thewisemobRJ]

Great Movie and Great OST !!!

[@lucvincenti26]

Carpenter c'est un génie en son et en image. C'est magique!

[@brianbondy5667]

Someone needs to do a mash up song with this and Beat it by Michael Jackson. You could almost sing Beat it to the intro of this, if you slowed the tempo to the lyrics down just a tad.

[@FlixSoundtracks]

That would be cool!

[@monstachruck6482]

I play this music during D&D when my players are trying to stealth their way into a place
