- EDIT: Rest in peace, George Romero (1940-2017)
Unlike any other video on CZcams, this mall music collection provides all tracks heard within the Monroeville Mall in George Romero's 1978 zombie classic 'Dawn Of The Dead'. Finding the best quality for these tracks let alone their full versions wasn't easy. After a lot of research and editing, I give you the best I could put together. This cliché Muzak really makes the film what it is and captures a sense of slapstick comedy very much present in the movie. As far as I'm aware, these were real tracks heard in the actual mall back in the 1970s.

I'll be listing to this in my headphones,this coming June,when I'm walking around in the Monroeville mall
I was at Monroeville Mall in 2000, it was so different. 20 years later I doubt anything survives
Not all heroes wear capes. I salute you.
nutlet1 the Gonk is my fav music.
@@blakeallen8224 I was living in Pittsburgh in 2000. Went to a Jimmy Buffet concert and didn't realise that I was in Monroeville until it was too late to go to the mall! Was my final night there.
RIP George romero
He will be back...
We know what to do.... 👉🧓💥
Everytime I mention Dawn of the Dead, my friends and many other people refer to the remake instead of the original. As a 17 year old, I find this movie to be one of my favorite films of all time. It's a shame the mainstream isn't aware of how phenomenal this film is.
Amen.
watched this film with my girlfriend few nights ago, the acting/effects have aged poorly and todays audiences are just too used to the modern effects. I can still enjoy these movies, but my girlfriend on the other hand just couldn't.
That’s a damn shame that people don’t appreciate or maybe know about the original. The remake was decent, I’m not going to shit on it. But let’s face it, it doesn’t hold a candle to the original masterpiece. Maybe I’m biased because I watched the original way back in the day in a drive in cinema. So there’s the nostalgia too but the movie itself is a classic. The mood, the suspense, the story, the societal structure undertones, it’s a masterpiece. Movie making today can’t ever match any of it.
I like playing this movie at bedtime. The old school audio is so soothing. This movie and the original Frankenstein.
I showed my 7yo daughter the movie and laughed at how bad the effects aged... she says its more entertaining than the remake...
Timeless. Truly timeless. I’ll be 19 in January and it’s pretty boring how nobody my age appreciates the timelessness of not only George A Romero’s Masterpiece Trilogy, but the eras they came out of. Look, I can sit here all night and write all about how amazing these Movies are and how fascinating the eras are but... you have to experience the feelings for yourself. Only people who were alive during those times and people who have the brain capacity to revere and appreciate timeless beauty can understand xx
@@musiquejunkie lolwut no one is bitching. also, god damn, Day is so so good. Also has great music, well, the opening and closing creds. The rest is just suspense beats.
Dude I’m 15 I appreciate all old movies ESPECIALLY Dawn
The Gonk FTW.
Indeed.
The... Bawk?
Oh man. The Gonk is legendary.
The Gonk is the best lol I seen this movie so many times all the music is so goofy but it wouldn't be the same without it
can't forget the zombies falling into the water fountain lmao
I actually slid down the same escalator from the film in the mall back in the early 90s
Nice!
@@DavidVanPatten358 yep, it was fun.
Heeeey, PETER~!
FEAR & RESPECT, PEOPLE!
Holy shit, that first song. “What do you say brother? Bag it or try for it? I’m out of lighter fluid.”
"You Got It"
This music was the actual shopping center music I grew up with in the late 60s and 70s. The "slide whistle, " song at the beginning was the most common. The one at 16:30 reminds me of all-you-can-eat buffets under dark, mood lights.
I always thought these tunes were just composed as mall music for the movie, but interesting to hear they were actually Muzak tracks they played in malls back then. I walked around the JCPenney in the Monroeville Mall about 5 years ago (it had relocated to another section of the mall) and imagining Track 2 on this video playing there in the 2010s is so not fitting even though it was the JCPenney music in the movie lol. Things sure have changed.
@@tristanlaferriere5194 Are you sure about that? I know for a fact that this music is from the DeWolfe royalty free soundtrack library. I don't believe the malls played this exact music back in the day. They definitely had some muzak that was similar is my understanding.
Thank you so much for this painstaking research.Being of a certain age,this movie was an integral part of my childhood as was the 70's in general.You've made a happy man very old!
I envy you, sir. Thanks for the comment!
Growing up in the good old days. Life without the internet, life before the cell phone addiction. You survived without cell phones stuck to your hands, eyes, and ears. No annoying devices. The glory days of movies, no CGI that's a problem these days.
Wow YOU NAILED IT DUDE... Just watched the movie & after a lot of FFWD & RWDing you got all the tracks spot on as well as the order they where in the film. As I said in my previous Comment - THIS SHOULD BE RELEASED AS A BONUS DISC W/ THE CD SOUNDTRACK.
My pleasure, bro.
Thanks so much for this!! I totally agree with you that these tracks really help to make this film what it is, and it's not often I come across anyone praising the mall music, lol. It helps to mix in comedy, a sense of the banal, even, alongside the more serious and horrific stuff... In fact I'm gonna go out on a limb here and declare I've never come across a better mix of light-heartedness, horror, drama, action, and suspense than in this film ... and the very imaginative use of music is a BIG part of that.
そのとおり！
I could use a cold Iron City beer to go with this music
Luv the tango tango,brings back the memories of zodys and kmart in the early 80s
woah, is that you? i kept coming back to this not realizing that YOU made this video lol. hi!
Perfect baby, perfect.
Alright, trooper... you better screw your head on.
Down right best zombie movie George Romero ever made.
Damn straight.
Thank you so much for finding these and putting them together. You can't even get all of them on the official CD.
My pleasure.
WE WHOOPED THEM AND WE GOT IT ALL!
C'mon man, get your head screwed on we got a lotta work to do!
The MASTERPIECE of all time Zombie movies (and whomever chose the music for it...was seriously overlooked for an award nomination)
The Gonk is easily the most-remembered of all of them, as it was used in Robot Chicken...and Shaun of the Dead. But the soundtrack NAILS "the generic sound of a 1970s-era mall."
Having grown up about 3 miles from where this movie was made, this is DEFINITELY "what it sounded like" at the Monroeville Mall in the Mid-1970s, as we were in it...pretty much all the time.
This great film now serves as a 3-fold gem.
(And absolutely...as its predecessor Night of the Living Dead has)...Dawn deserves to be preserved in the Library for all times.
1) Because as great as NOTLD was, DAWN...was even better. An absolute masterwork (in either form. Romero's Dawn or Argento's Zombi). For it is a true "Rio Bravo meets Assault on Precinct 13" type of story. Modern horror OWES so much to not only "Night" (as it is the touchstone of modern horror films), but also to "Dawn" as it was one of the first to employ "scare, humor; satire, camp, and gore" all into one.
2) MUSIC. Music is so important in a horror film. And whereas Carpenter or Donner or Spielberg use magnificent compositions to create even more tension...Romero chose the campy route. (Yes, the "complete soundtrack" has some AMAZINGLY heart-pounding songs by Goblin that enhance the scene's mood. (The storming of the zombie infested ghetto, the pulsating bass as the TV station collapses, and of course that strange song playing while the 4 look out over the mall and realize that "When there is no more room in hell...the Dead will walk the Earth". So again, whomever was in charge of music for this movie, deserved nothing less than an Oscar Nomination. As EVERY SINGLE PIECE of it (camp, cornball, tension, jump scare, whatwver) works. We remember The Omen and Jaws and Exorcist and Halloween and Carrie for EXACTLY these same reasons. (The music puts you right back in the movie). And while we reviewers (and a lot of my Retro-Reviewer friends out there who are just now discovering this film and reviewing it for their audiences)...they ALL mention "the music". Absolutely. Because those other films used BIG NAME/BIG MONEY composers. (And deservedly-so. Goldsmith, Williams, Barry; etc deserved everything for their works). But Dawn is every bit on par (if not BETTER THAN) with all those others. As it set the mood every step of the way.
Remember folks...The OMEN (essentially) had ONE song. Arguably the scariest and most-amazing song of any horror film ever. "Ave Satani". And IT wins an Academy Award. Absolutely it should have. The movie was Absolutely GREAT. (Top 20...all time). But without that song? It is NOT the same. (Case in point? See the OMEN sequels. Where they either changed the song or played it in very limited cuts. And the sequels, while "ok"...were nowhere NEAR the original).
"THE GONK is to Dawn of the Dead...what AVE SATANI was to the Omen".
3) lastly....(and blue faced or gray-green Zombies aside...even Tom Savini admits that "this was a flaw")...it is still 'all about MOOD'.
Back in 1978, you could (literally) WALK ON this set..."just show up at the mall at 1 am" and you could "get a ham sandwich and be put in blue or green whatever makeup" and stammer around in the parking lot in a zombie film. This IS a Pittsburgh Kid's DREAM if you were born after 1968. So a lot of time was spent on the characters and (frankly) Romero & Argento simply struck pay dirt with the music score/Goblin/public domain music choices". (They did)...but on a 1 MILLION dollar budget? Managed to make the 8th GREATEST HORROR FILM...of all time. (This is where I have ranked it, reviewed it. Even the Snyder remake of it, regrets NOT using the soundtrack for his very-well done remake of). (Heck..."The Gonk" even gets a cameo in "Day of the Dead" a few years later). So this was where Romero really paid attention to detail. To this day...we all know "well, just show up in your Bach's ARCO of Pitcairn baseball outfit" and get some blue makeup on and walk around a mall" was NOT what Romero was going for here.
The story...the survival tale...the claustrophobic feel...the mood...the camp...and of course, the score. Is what he was.
Absolutely. Taking nothing away from those other great composers who contributed to the Golden Age (1972-1987) of HORROR films, and their works...but Goblin, et al...ESPECIALLY the music supervisor on Dawn? Deserve a lifetime achievement award.
For when I talk to fans about it...they remember the songs as much as they remember "David Emge's GREATEST ZOMBIE WALK of them all" or Ken Foree's tagine speech, or "The Harre Krishna zombie" or "target practice on mannequins in the ice rink". As much they remember the music as this movie.
Lifetime Achievement Award should go to the Music Supervisor on this one.
The Goblins. We SALUTE YOU!
wonderful comment...I was born in 71...Romero's zombie movies made a MASSIVE impact on me. I fully agree with you.
I cannot hear The Gonk without thinking about Zombies. When they used it in Shaun of the Dead I genuinely laughed in the cinema. People around me though I was a bit odd....they may be right :)
The music from 3:26 was also used for British public information film ‘Betcha’, which starred a young Keith Chegwin (who died today)
Rest in peace❤️
I particularly like the played out tune originally composed by Johann Sebastian Bach. Yet there is one track I have never heard outside of the long version of the movie. When Peter & Roger enter a shopping floor of the Mall for the very first time just for a short glance. For example Roger says: "It's Christmas time down there buddy". Peter says" Let's check those keys" right before they have returned to the control room in the basement to check those keys. This great track is totally rare!
"ATTENTION ALL SHOPPERS"
I can hear that announcement about the free candy
Get your bag of hard candy FREE to enjoy yourself or take home for the kiddies! Something like that. I love this movie.
Thanks for posting this....most people forget that "The Gonk" isn't the only piece of stock music used in that movie!
No doubt "The Gonk" is the most famous because it was used in the closing credits,which played over a montage of a zombie-filled mall.
The inspirational movie for deadrising
Track 3 is my favorite ( along with The Gonk ) !
A lot of the background music can be found on certain volumes in the De Wolfe Library series from the 70s, they're pretty rare, on ebay they're usually around $50.00-75.00+ per record.
Here at K-Mart where the sky's the limit. And plus shopping music #1 really puts on a number.
OMG this frikin rocks thanks for posting!
No problem, brotha
Big time shopping is finally here at the Monroeville Mall!
Thank you for sharing the mall music.
My pleasure
The gonk is the one i remember most
Hi I’ve come to realise that this isn’t the Original movies soundtrack.
You have managed to fish out the dWolf style music that they chose, brilliant, what an amazing movie.
Delightful!!!
Now we're gettin' somewhere....
What would be cool is when they have those zombie events at the actual mall, they play these songs over the speakers.
Thank you xbox guy for compiling this soundtrack of all the mall songs! It's awesome!
My pleasure, Michael.
I'd love to hear vaporwave versions of some of these. Harvest gold and avocado green a e s t h e t i c
I have the gonk as my ringtone
[Joy but also nervously looking around]
Some of these are so obscure, I'm sure tracking them down was quite a treat!
I did it for the People.
@@DavidVanPatten358 not all heroes wear capes:-)
Love this and the movie awesome
I love you, Ashleigh.
ALL I CAN SAY IS THANKS FOR POSTING THIS RARE FIND - - THIS IS "DAWN OF THE DEAD" GOLD. AND WHERE THE HELL DID YOU GET THIS? YOU DID A FANTASTIC JOB ON THIS. THEY SHOULD RELEASE THIS AS A BONUS DISC W/ THE SOUNDTRACK CD. AGAIN... DAM GOOD JOB ON THIS & THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
I compiled this video after a long and painful search of finding all the tracks in the best possible quality. Worth it in the end, though!
3:17 roger is sliding down the escalator
This music unfolds like a picture book full of stars, where birds come chirping, spinning farandoles, cracking rattles and dancing wizards. From rounds to nursery rhymes, the arrangements display their mystery and the instruments have the roundness and brilliance of chimes 🌺🕊️
What a banger!
This is excellent.
You're excellent.
Excellent work tracking all of these songs down!!. Any way to get the originals you used as CZcams compresses the audio?
Much appreciated. But I'm sorry to say I edited and trimmed different audio tracks for the perfect final song for each track. That was months ago, and all the files I downloaded are long gone.
Ok, thanks for the update. I will live with this one as it is still awesome.
Why is it that Ragtime Razzamatazz's gives me the image of a bunch of friends at a bar just casually having a wonderful time but we see this one bloke looking foul, staring at the camera and then as the camera zooms away, we see the world is just a desolate ghost town and only the bar is left as the one thing alive
do the gonk do the gonk!
Where's there no room in hell the Dead will walk the earth.
The poster of this video is my hero 💯🏆
Yeah, I'm pretty cool I guess
@@DavidVanPatten358 💯🏆
Does anyone know where I can find the tracks individually ? All i could find on youtube was the gonk .
Music to be eaten by!
Cutelatinguy2 LOVE THIS. SO MUCH. WARM FUZZY WEIRDNESS
Is this the only actual version of 'Tango Tango' out there? Ive only seen 2 more recent videos on youtube with it - and both are rips of this video......
If it's in this video, it'll be the best version I could find. I tend to be quite methodical, Debbie-babe.
Which part of the movie has the Shopping Music #2 starting at 3:24? I don't remember it in the film and I have seen it countless times. It does sound vaguely familiar though. I have to dig my copy of the film out and try to find it now.
Never Mind, I figured it out.
It's when Flyboy hits the department store for the first time. I never noticed it was a different tune before and I have seen the movie dozens of times. How the hell didn't I notice that?
@@LUCKO2022 Yep, yep. Just seen this comment. All music heard in the movie for definite is in the video.
Like finally I found the mall soundtracks here, since other idiots on CZcams don’t even have them
Sooner or later hell is going to have no more room.
Reminds me a Black Friday going in the morning for the sales.
16:32 makes me sad because it was right after Roger’s Death.
Thank you for this and here are all the details on the tracks featured here with full history including Dawn of the Dead: The Unreleased Incidental Music - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dawn_of_the_Dead_(soundtracks)
This is awesome! (albeit cheezy 8P)
the last soundtrack is the best
3:24 is it just me or does anyone else just hear them running to the glass
I work in customer support and when I'm trading emails with a particularly difficult person I put this on.
What is the name of the restaurant music? I've heard it before somewhere else.
It's always been listed as "Restaurant Music", but if it has a real name it's not listed anywhere.
I think it's titled Night Life
by Barry Stoller.
Track 1: Turning everything on in the mall
Track 2: JCPenney Music
My favorite is the third track.
wouldnt it be great if someone actually used this the day it all hits the fan........heres to ya you big winner you! ....and try ta save one for yourself seriously ha ha ha ha........doh xD
get your Gonk mp3 dusted off...that DAY is almost here !!!!! muahahahahahaha
The Goon is best music in the movie shit made me and my friends laugh so hard 🤣
Shopping music #2 is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
All my homies listen to Shopping Music #2.
@@DavidVanPatten358 the song gives some good motivation!
Shopping centres all over Britain in 2022.
Only know this through old SFM animations.
Tango tango and One Flew over the cuckoos nest theme is a very similar melody.
I hope this is public domain, because I always thought this music would fit perfect in my videos.
@@DavidVanPatten358 Hell yes because I think a lot of these tunes would fit perfectly.
Do you still have the mp3's?
No.
you can down load the full dawn of the dead sountrack off of myzcloud mp3
What’s the name of the song when they are in the arcade? The circus sounding song?
Don't know what you're talking about. In the comments you'll find a full list with timestamps.
Xbox Guy it’s not on this album. Just a random music score when they are in the arcade in the movie.
@@burtfurt1995 Not sure. It wouldn't have counted as "mall" music, so that's why it's not here. You're probably never find it, as it's likely from the actual mall's arcade.
17:32 I H A V A R R I V E D
I will say i love this one better than the remake even if it does not have ty burrell running around
サイコーです🤣サントラには入ってない曲ばかりなんですよね。

Is it just me or do you wish they added the announcer with the free candy ? 🤔

Can't beat my version, though.

16:13 Is one of the most beautiful pieces I’ve ever heard. The modern age of music is just curse words and drug references. Music is a spectacular thing and it can be extremely powerful, it all depends on how you use it
Are the songs copyright free?
No. In fact, the majority of them sound like production music, as in music that was meant to be picked from sound catalogs and sold to advertisers for public use.
