Ghost World original motion picture soundtrack

The key songs here being the skewed Indian soundtrack music playing over the opening credits of the film ("Jaan Pehechaan Ho" - Mohammed Rafi), to the strains of which we're introduced to Enid, dancing frenetically in her lit-up bedroom, and "Devil Got My Woman" (Skip James), the rare blues recording upon which she becomes fixated (and which connects her to Seymour). And, too, the moody score, which adds so much to the feel of the film. The rest of it is mostly divided between old-time blues and jazz numbers, the two deliberately bad modern tracks sticking out like sore thumbs - the feeling is there.
