The Texas
Chainsaw Mystery

Film fans at geekroar.com discuss - at some great length - the source of the version of Song to the Siren used in the horror movie's trailer

More...

The sidebar on this page will take you to a lively discussion about the use of Siren in the trailer for the 2003 remake of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, underlining the confusion about the various remakes by women singers.

Here for possibly the first time, the Estate has made public four tracks - Wild Wood, The Father Song, The Prize and I’ll Be The One - from Hall Bartlett’s 1969 movie Changes.

They remain the only known versions of all four as used in the movie. The Father Song is not the same title that appears on the Rhino Handmade 1999 release Works in Progress.
