The fastest cue on the set at 141bpm in D, built on live whistling over walking bass, drums, autoharp and twangy electric guitar. Its short, scampering shape and comic small-town title suit busy visual gags rather than any big payoff.

A 110bpm rockabilly shuffle in D where whistling and a vintage-sounding organ are joined by a theremin, giving the jailhouse title a slightly kooky, spooky edge. Energized and mischievous throughout, good for scenes of comic trouble or a caper going sideways.
A 105bpm cruise in A and the one whistle-free track, leaning instead on piano, mandolin, harmonica, accordion and electric guitar for a wide-open road feel. Sunny and forward-moving, it fits vintage car footage and small-town travel montages.
Brisk at 130bpm in C but relaxed in attitude, with brushed drums, organ, accordion, ukulele and acoustic guitar creating a light bouncing groove. The easygoing texture and lack of a strong solo lead make it one of the more talk-over-friendly cues here.
The slowest cue at 95bpm in E, with piano, banjo, brushed drums and acoustic guitar giving an unhurried, cool porch-swing feel. Warmer and more affectionate than the frantic tracks around it, good for sentimental comedy or a slow reveal.
The longest track at 2:37, a 100bpm G-major train-track amble with whistling and pedal steel over a steady brushed-feel rhythm section. Its lonesome lean and generous length make it the most wistful piece here while keeping the album's comic wink.
