    "Long Cool Woman (In a Black Dress)" by the Hollies! I swear that's the first thing I thought of when I saw it on the screen! And, yes, I know she's not wearing a dress...

    Beautiful! I was going to say it reminds me of the elongated statues by Giacometti - turns out he was inspired by Etruscan art.
