Identify this instrumental accordion piece

I've had this song for years but never known the title and the person who gave it to me doesn't know either. It sounds a bit like They Might Be Giants, but I'm pretty sure it isn't. Unknown Song

Hmm, sounds a bit like Friends of Dean Martinez, but if it is, I sure couldnt identify the song.

Yeah, that's the theme from Midnight Cowboy. It sounds like the version on Faith No More's album, Angel Dust.

It is indeed the theme from Midnight Cowboy, but not the original. Can anyone tell me who did this version?

Thanks, wgp.

Kittens for Breakfast is exactly right, thanks.

I've taken down the link to save my bandwidth.
