WB recently set up a For Your Consideration site for Gran Torino, and on the site you can listen to the entire score.  Of particular note is the last song, “Gran Torino”, which, yes, Clint Eastwood actually sings himself.  Now, to look at this picture, you’d imagine that his singing voice would sound something like a dying moose choking on rock salt, or Tom Waits getting an oatmeal enema, or Tom Waits getting an oatmeal enema from a dying moose.  And you know what?  You’d pretty much be right.  I can’t tell what the words are, but I think I heard him growl something about foreigners, or that nurse who keeps hiding his pills.

I’ve attached the song below, singing starts about 15 seconds in.
