Who sings the jazz version of sickness in dawn of the dead?
Here ya go: The song that plays over the film’s opening credits is “The Man Comes Around” by Johnny Cash. The track has suitably apocalyptic lyrics, contains mentions of Armageddon, numerous Bible references and quotes from the Book of Revelation 6:8. The film also featured “People Who Died” by The Jim Carroll Band, as well as both the original version of “Down with the Sickness” by Disturbed and the lounge, jazz-like version by Richard Cheese and Lounge Against the Machine (the lounge version was played during the film, while the original version was played when the survivors met their morbid fate at the island). “Have a Nice Day” by Stereophonics was also used early in the film. The muzak playing in the mall when the survivors first arrive is Bobby McFerrin’s “Don’t Worry, Be Happy” and as they flee to the buses it is Air Supply’s “All Out of Love”. Director Zack Snyder personally selected all the songs for the film’s soundtrack.
