Bowling for Columbine

[Gussler]

Does anyone know that sad kind of guitar song that is played during the part in the movie where they show the Columbine massacre footage n' all? I don't really know how to deccribe it, it's just guitar playing and it's in a sad mood, obviously because the footage is being shown. Thanks to those who know something about it.

It's an acoustic version of 'The Nobodies' by MARILYN MANSON.

Thanks, I can tell that some parts are the same, but you're right. Do you or anyone else out there know if the Bowling for Columbine version is downloadable?

Sorry! you were right, it's an "acoustic" version by Kurt Engfehr, I got it now.

So the song is close to the beginning of the movie. I think Michael Moore is telling everyone about where he was born and there's this song in the background. I call it a little "ditty" and the lyrics that I caught go like this; I was born in Michigan. And I wish and wish again.... Anyone know the artist? Thanks

I recently re-watched Bowling for Columbine and now I have "Take the Skinheads Bowling" running through my head. I'd really like to go buy whatever album it was on, but the frustrating thing is that I can't find that particular version on any album. I'm not looking for the original by Camper Van Beethoven - the song that's used in the documentary is a cover by Teenage Fanclub. It doesn't appear to be on any of their albums. Where did it come from? :blink:
