Before we start talking about Nirvana's noirness, let's not
forget the ultimate noir ballad "Blues in the Night." Johnny
Mercer's admittedly sexist lyrics -- "A woman's a two-face, a
worrisome thing who'll leave you to sing the blues in the
night"
-- poetically reflect the storyline for most noir movies and
novels, while Harold Arlen's music could serve as the
universal noir soundtrack.
