Maybe “I Walk on Gilded Splinters,” by Dr. John. Or “Whatever It Is, I’m Against It,” from the Marx Brothers film _Horse Feathers_ (by Kalmar and Ruby). I don’t know music from the right time period to pick something for my favorite Doper. A suitably dignified piece by Scott Joplin, maybe. ---

Tomoyasu Hotei’s _Katana Groove_. It’s similar to his _Battle Without Honor or Humanity_ used in Kill Bill, but more low-key. Good walking music. ---

The theme from Friends: So no one told you life was gonna be this way- Your job’s a joke , you’re broke, Your love life’s DOA. Only… that’s where my theme song ends, because I really don’t have anyone to tell me they’ll be there for me. ☹ ---
