What is this song?
This is from a semi-documentary from the DVD of The Life Aquatic -- what's this song playing in the background? It sounds ridiculously familiar..

thirded, it's definately Ceremony.
you can listen to a snippit on Amazon, which is from a close enough part of the song to confirm.

After listening a few more times I really want to say it's the Joy Division version, but it's really hard to tell with no vocals and all the talking over it.

Response by poster: Thanks skot and everyone else!
I found a live version of Ceremony, by New Order -- that's close enough to make me think New Order. Now, to buy the album..

The Galaxie 500 version of this song is also great.

No question - it's the regular New Order version.
Wasn't that song actualy written in response to Ian Curtis' suicide?

baltimore: it predates his suicide, they first time it was played live was at Joy Division's last show.

You can hear the Joy Division version on "Still".
And that's a really nice bootleg on provolot's link.

to pile on to KD's comment, on my original 45 the song is credited to "joy division."

Since the second comment nailed it, is it unkosher of me to try to piggy back a question, namely, what's the big deal about Joy Division/New Order? I've only heard a couple of songs and kinda liked "Blue Monday," and I understand that loads o' music critics (some of whom I tend to respect) respect the hell out of them (with plenty labelling "Love Will Tear Us Apart" as one of the greatest singles ever). Please note that I'm not trying to knock them; I'm guessing there's an 'it' about their appeal that I'm just not getting, so far.

Provolot, if you're planning on buying some New Order, Substance (2 CDs) is a great introduction.
