In 1980, a drug called lorcainide, was put into a clinical group to be tested. The drug was produced to regulate abnormal, heart rhythms that were seen as harmful to the person who experienced them. How the clinical worked was half of the patients were given the drug lorcainide while the other half were given a placebo. After testing though, the company stopped production of the drug because of commercial reasons, but still medicines, similar to lorcainide, were still being prescribed. Little did anyone know, for about twenty years, the company who produced the medicine lorcainide, hid information about the clinical trial from the public and other pharmaceutical companies.

During the duration of the 10 minutes I thought that the song was very similar the whole time. It was all fast paced and when all five guys seemed to play the song the same through. The only time it changed was when an instrument stopped or started playing. The instrument I noticed the least in this piece was the ----- because of its low sound and the other four instruments could be played with high pitches/sounds.

It is an example of Wong’s usage of diegetic sound, as it is primarily contained within scenes set in the bar the woman in the wig frequents, played by the bar’s jukebox. The song comes to act as almost a theme for the woman in the wig and her likely questionable lifestyle, as its first appearance coincides with the introduction of the drug dealer who she serves, along with his lover. The notion that the song is a theme for the woman in the wig’s lone storyline is further reinforced by its numerous reappearances in the film’s bar scenes. However, the song also crosses over to non-diegetic sound twice. The first occurrence serves as another foreshadowing of the later meeting between Officer 223 and the woman in the wig, with the song beginning in the bar and following the woman in the wig outside and then carrying onto play as the camera returns its focus to Officer 223.

The introduction of the piece is the same as that of “The Raiders March”, but with strings playing in the background. The A melody begins with the trumpet as the strings fade out (0:07). The first minute and a half of the song is played the same as that of “The Raiders March”, though due to differing sound equalization, some parts stick out more or less than they do in the original. For example, in the third repetition of the A melody, one can more clearly hear the xylophone accompanying the melody here than in “The Raiders March”. The piece begins to differ more significantly after the break following the third repetition of the A melody when the piece modulates down a half step instead of up like in the original (1:37).

The first time I listened to the music, I immediately knew it was Jazz because of the intricate sounds of the saxophone and the trumpet. However the the music had a fast tempo, and therefore I concluded that it was a bebop, a style that began to shift jazz from popular music towards a more challenging musician 's music soon became a form of jazz characterized by fast tempos, virtuous technique and improvisation. Musician began to add more complicated tunes and melody to their music to make their song more interesting and different. As Bebop was developed in the early and the mid 1940’s, and the fast complicated tempo of the saxophone made me conclude that it was recorded in the mid 1940s and not in the early 40s because it would not be possible
