Wang Chung Was Surprised to Learn John Mulaney Used Their 1985 Song as His Netflix L.A. Talk Show Theme


Wang Chung members Jack Hues and Nick Feldman were surprised to find John Mulaney using their song 'To Live and Die in L.A.' for his Netflix talk show.

For guitarist Nick Feldman, the other half of the duo, he was already a big Mulaney fan when he got the news that “To Live and Die in L.A.” was suddenly getting a new breath of life on Netflix. Friedkin had been a fan of the group, best known at that point for their hit “Dance Hall Days,” and asked them to create an instrumental soundtrack for the gritty crime thriller (which starred William Petersen and Willem Dafoe). “At the time, we were getting a lot of pressure from the record company to come up with the follow up hit song to ‘Dance Hall Days’ from our [1983] ‘Points on the Curve’ album,” Feldman remembers.
