The soundtrack album for, “Grosse Pointe Blank” was released in March 1997 and is called, Grosse Pointe Blank – Music From the Film. A second album was released in October 1997 and called, “Grosse Pointe Blank – More Music from the Film” There were 11 other tracks from the film that were never released.

My song choice from the album is Los Fabulosos Cadillacs’ “Matador”, heard during the dance scene at the reunion, was released in 1993. Los Fabulosos Cadillacs is an Argentine ska band from Buenos Aires, Argentina.Formed in 1985, they released their first album, Bares y Fondas (Bars and Boardinghouses), in 1986 and have since released fourteen more albums. They are one of the most influential and most-referenced rock bands of the Latin rock world. The band’s sound is a mix of rock, ska, jazz, folk, reggae, funk and big band. It is also noted for its irreverent and humorous lyrics which often contain political undertones. The band, which collaborated with some music stars such as Mick Jones, Debbie Harry, Celia Cruz, Rubén Blades and Fishbone, received the MTV Latino Video Music Award in 1994 for the single “El Matador”, in what probably was the peak of popularity of the band. The song made an appearance on the soundtracks for the movies Savages, Grosse Pointe Blank and The Matador.

The next video, although well-done, has some graphic scenes of sexually suggestive material and graphic violence, so watch at your own discretion.

 

[Intro]
They’re looking for you, Murderer!

[Verse 1]
They call me the Murderer, I was born in Barracks
If we’re talking about killing, my words will kill
Not too long ago after the León Santillán fell
And now I know that at any moment they will give it to me
(Mu-Murderer, Mu-Murderer)
Where are you Murderer?
(Mu-Murderer, Mu-Murderer)

[Verse 2]
They call me the Murderer, they’re looking for me
In a cold pension I await them
Crouched down in the darkest part of my room
Rifle in hand, I wait for my end

[Pre-Chorus 1]
(Mu-Murderer, Mu-Murderer)
The police looks for you, Murderer
(Mu-Murderer, Mu-Murderer)
The police will catch you, Murderer
(Mu-Murderer, Mu-Murderer)

[Chorus]
Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey!
(Murderer, Murderer!)
Where are you, Murderer?
(Murderer, Murderer!)
Do not go, Murderer
Murdere-r-r-r-r-r!
Oh, yeah!
(Murderer, Murderer!)

[Verse 3]
Wind of freedom, combative blood
In the pockets of the village, the old wound
Suddenly the day is dark
Rustling, runners and the knock on the door
The police force has arrived!

[Pre-Chorus 2]
(Mu- Murderer, Mu- Murderer)
Look, brother, what did you end up with?
(Ma-Matador, Mu- Murderer)
For fighting for a better world
What is that sound? They are bullets! They reach me! They catch me!
Resist! Víctor Jara, do not be silent!

[Chorus 2]
(Murderer, Murderer!)
Murderer, they are looking for you
(Murderer, Murderer!)
Murderer, they are killing you
Murdere-r-r-r-r-r!
Oh, yeah!
(Murderer, Murderer!)
Brave, Murderer

[Bridge]
They call me the Murderer of the hundred neighborhoods porteños
I do not have to be afraid, my words are bullets
Bullets of peace, bullets of justice
I am the voice of those who silenced without reason
By the mere fact of thinking differently, oh God!
Santa María de los Buenos Aires, if everything were better…

[Chorus 2]
(Murderer, Murderer!)
If everything was better
(Murderer, Murderer!)
Where are you going, Murderer?
Matadooo-o-o-o-oor!
Oh, yeah!
(Murderer, Murderer!)
Brave, Matador

[Outro]
Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey!

    That is a great coloring job- love the bow tie… I have seen that movie- I am a big John Cusack fan- he’s a big too off the beam politically but i have love most of his movies. That was a good one- a few summers ago I had a John Cusack week long marathon! Good song too. I can’t remember all the music in the movie though.

    My son had never saw it… we watched it last week… of course he loved it. I hadn’t seen it in 10 years at least.
