1 song in the Soundtracks. JC plays several times, not sure if it's always the same tune.
Not quite annoying enough to rate 4, but close. Very bad script, acting, direction, sets. And what the heck's the point of showing a sociopath (JC) assisting a bank robber by holding the bank employee's wife hostage at home, terrorizing her, busting up the bric a brac. They showed he was a serious killer because he murdered his girl point blank. So I guess we're supposed to get a thrill from the terror. Yuck.
JC had a great voice.
