What song do you associate with your favorite book or movie?

My all-time favourite book is The Secret History by Donna Tartt. While the plot—revolving around the spiralling descent of a group of Classics students—doesn't obviously suggest this association, something about the mid-eighties setting and cool, angular precision of the prose brings to mind Talking Heads.
