I was listening to a really old (2004?) episode of This American life today and heard a surf cover of the Godfather theme. Sounded modern. Anybody have any idea who did it? I've bumped into this problem before. That show plays surf rock here and there pretty often but they always credit their non-instrumentals — |

Satan's Pilgrims from their Around the World With album. I've heard that on NPR a couple of times now. Always makes me smile. —Site dude - S3 Agent #202 "It starts... when it begins" -- Ralf Kilauea |

Aw crap, I own that too. Looks like that's the one. Checking through my MP3 library for godfather theme (why didn't I check that first?) looks like the Aquamen do it too. Thanks — |

The Surfin' Lungs also do the Godfather theme. Rather well too, but they're my mates and I'm biased. — |
