Lots of Stan Ridgway songs, but here are a couple:
With Wall Of Voodoo. I really like how he uses the harmonica to sound like a factory at first and then busts out with the melody.

He still plays this song at his live shows and his harmonica playing is more impressive:

The harmonica ending to this track is a bit noisy for my tastes now. I remember watching the Pretenders play this song during Live Aid, and Chrissie Hynde picked up her harmonica and flipped it right before playing and I thought, "I didn't know there was a top to a harmonica." It's funny the things you remember.

Is There Something I Should Know: Duran Duran
I just love Simon's wickedly awesome harmonica solo in the middle of this song. :)

The only Wall of Voodoo song I had heard before this was Mexican Radio. I'm really digging the sound of that song you posted.
Think I might have to pick up a "new" LP off eBay soon!
