Baseball players get a walk-up song that plays over the PA as they head to the plate. With Twin Peaks, Badalamenti and Lynch created a theme song for major characters, creating an immediate aura every time they appear on screen. Badalamenti told Rolling Stone, “The thing about Twin Peaks music is it runs the gamut of styles. It also incorporates pop, blues, some country, soft rock, film noir—no question about that—nightmarish stuff.”
