Chigurh’s Playlist

While listening to my dad’s old (although he won’t tell you that it’s old) music with him in the car one day, it gave me inspiration for a curated list: Chigurh’s playlist. So, below I have a few different songs and a short justification as to why I think these would be on his playlist.

1. You don’t mess around with Jim – Jim Croce

This is on the playlist purley because of the name. We learn very quickly in No Country For Old Men not to mess around with Chigurh, since he has really no issue killing anyone at any time. I also feel as if he would be listening to this song on his way to go hunt someone down.

2. Bohemian Rhapsody – Queen

The iconic Queen hit, in my opinion, would for sure be something Chigurh listens to. It has its ups and downs, and the emotions are all over the place. I think he would listen to this or think of this song while he was planning an escape to somewhere, or like in the novel, how to find the briefcase with all of the money.

3. I Will Survive – Gloria Gaynor

While at first glance this may not be a song that Chigurh would listen to, I think it would be on his playlist for some odd reason. One of those things where you would be completely thrown a curveball when you find out that this is on his playlist. I think it also speaks to the fact that he truly can not be killed or taken down. Yes, death in inevitable, but he always seems to find a way to come back.
