Hey, dopers! I need some help…

Some friend and I are playin’ around, trying to make a video, and we need background music for a scene.

It’s a ‘film noir’ type scene, shot in sepia-color, and it needs some accordian music in the background.

Something french, something slow and mournful, and most importantly, something bad. Cheesy, cliche’, angsty french accordian music, please!

Any thoughts?

You might check out the Cafe Accordian Orchestra. They specialize in this stuff and are pretty good. I don’t have a specific song in mind. Google the name.
