===Music=== As with all the Coen brothers' films, except ''[[Inside Llewyn Davis]]'', the score to ''Fargo'' is by [[Carter Burwell]].<ref name="Soundtrack Collector">{{cite web|url=http://www.soundtrackcollector.com/catalog/soundtrackdetail.php?movieid=45147|title=Fargo - Soundtrack details|website=SoundtrackCollector.com|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200731040852/http://www.soundtrackcollector.com/catalog/soundtrackdetail.php?movieid=45147|archive-date=July 31, 2020|url-status=live}}</ref> The main musical [[motif (music)|motif]] is based on a Norwegian folk song, "The Lost Sheep" ({{langx|no|Den bortkomne sauen}}).<ref>{{cite web |author=Broxton |first=Jonathan |title=Fargo/Barton Fink |url=http://www.moviemusicuk.us/fargocd.htm |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070928000011/http://www.moviemusicuk.us/fargocd.htm |archive-date=September 28, 2007 |access-date=October 11, 2007 |website=www.moviemusicuk.us}}</ref> Other songs featured in the film include: "[[Big City (Merle Haggard song)|Big City]]" by [[Merle Haggard]], heard in the King of Clubs while Jerry meets with Carl and Gaear; "[[These Boots Are Made for Walkin']]" by [[Boy George]], which plays in the [[Automobile repair shop|garage]] as Shep works, and "Let's Find Each Other Tonight", a live nightclub performance by [[JosΓ© Feliciano]] that is viewed by Carl and a female escort at such a far distance without a close-up that the viewer might deem it's a lip synched stand-in.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Fargo Soundtrack (1996) & Complete List of Songs |url=https://www.what-song.com/Movies/Soundtrack/101/Fargo |access-date=2023-05-14 |website=WhatSong |language=en}}</ref> In the diner, when Jerry is urging Wade not to get police involved in his wife's kidnapping, [[Chuck Mangione]]'s "[[Feels So Good (Chuck Mangione song)|Feels So Good]]" can be heard faintly in the background. An instrumental version of "[[Do You Know the Way to San Jose]]" plays during the scene where Marge and Norm are eating at a buffet. The restaurant scene with Mike Yanagita is accompanied by a piano arrangement of "[[Blood, Sweat & Tears (Blood, Sweat & Tears album)|Sometimes in Winter]]" by [[Blood, Sweat & Tears]]. All the songs heard in the film are featured only as background music, usually on a radio, and do not appear on the soundtrack album. The soundtrack was released in 1996 on [[TVT Records]], combined with selections from the score to ''[[Barton Fink]]''.<ref name="Soundtrack Collector"/>
