NIGHT MUST FALL by Xavier Cugat.
This song is easy to explain. If have seen Wong Kar-wai's Days of Being Wild, or more recently, 2046, you'll be quite familiar with the music of Xavier Cugat.
Night Must Fall has that same pretty, displaced, charming, sad, otherwordly sound that Wong uses to such hypnotic effect in his movies.LISTEN.

its LUCCIO!!!
Beautiful photo! It even beats an actual picture of Senor Cugat (which is hard, given his dapper demeanor...)
His pencil mustache, and his album covers, blow me away
What's funny is that while the song very much calls to mind Days of Being Wild (and more recently 2046, or maybe In the Mood for Love?), the photo reminds me a lot of Antonioni's the Passenger.
