Billy Green - The Death of Doctor Death

If you’re like me, the only thing you enjoy more than autoharp is lots of autoharp. I have good news, dear denizens of the digital ditty dispenser - Christmas just came earlier than your father at a steam bath. Here to autohump all of our hear-holes is The Death of Doctor Death by Billy Green, from the OST to 1969’s Stone.  

Before composing the score for Stone, Billy Green was best known as the guitarist of the Doug Parkinson-focused band Doug Parkinson in Focus. After composing the score for Stone, Billy was still best known for his work with Doug Parkinson In Focus, which is understandable after you see the trailer for Stone. Basically your standard Satanist Aussie Vietnam Vet Biker Whodunnit, Stone appears to have been shot on a waterlogged super-8 by a subnormal with cataracts.

Sample dialog: ‘They live in a fortress, by the sea… Vietnam veterans.. with their own style of life.’ (Cut to naked splash fight).
Highlights of the trailer: Pinball machine getting shot by crossbow; tits.

Besides winning the Deadly Death: Little Deaths 2010 Award (‘The Deadie’) for most use of the word death in its title, this vignette, presumably from Dr. Death’s death scene, nicely blends biker-crank psychedelia with the drama of classic spaghetti western soundtracks. May all our death scenes involve so much autoharp and crossbow.
