This is on my Columbo s7 playlist, representing the overwhelming carousel music towards the end of "Make Me A Perfect Murder". As much as I don't like making references that listeners might not get, I do have such a thing for using instrumental recordings of songs that if you recognize the song/know the lyrics you know are relevant. I love the trope of 'the source music* knows what you did', it appears a lot in my playlists.

#*source music refers to music in a movie/show/etc. that comes from a source in the world of the story #like a radio #live musicians #or in this case #a merry-go-round #i prefer the term source music #over #diegetic vs non-diegetic #bc it's too easy to forget which is which #also “diegetic” is such an annoying show-offy $10 word #Youtube
