  • The Blue Velvet soundtrack by Angelo Badalamenti is a dark combination of classic composition and vintage/modern pop songs, which mirrors the film's un-stated setting envisioned by David Lynch and unsettling neo-noir atmosphere. Thus, the film has become noted for its diverse musical selections. Seen as a prominent stylistic feature in the film is the unconventional use of vintage pop songs, such as Bobby Vinton’s "Blue Velvet" and Roy Orbison’s "In Dreams", juxtaposed with an orchestral score . The score makes direct quotations from Shostakovich's 15th Symphony, which Lynch had been listening to regularly while writing the screenplay. Entertainment Weekly ranked Blue Velvet at #100 on their list of the 100 Greatest Film Soundtracks. "The haunting soundtrack accompanies the title credits, then weaves through the narrative, accentuating the noir mood of the film. " — Critic John Alexander Lynch worked with well-known music composer Angelo Badalamenti for the first time in this film and asked him to write a score that had to be “like Shostakovich, be very Russian, but make it the most beautiful thing but make it dark and a little bit scary. ” Badalamenti would later go on to contribute to all of Lynch's future full-length films except for Inland Empire.
