Grand Theft Auto III soundtrack


The soundtrack from the video game Grand Theft Auto III can be played on various radio stations which the player can listen to while driving in a car.

DJ: Morgan Merryweather
Genre: Classical, opera
Track list:

Summary: Hosted by Morgan Merryweather (Gerry Cosgrove), Double Cleff FM plays a selection of popular sequences from various classical operas. In the game, Double Cleff FM is the favorite radio station of the Leone Mafia Family. Morgan Merryweather is a stereotype of a pompous classical music aficionado, interspersing the tracks with references to his refined lifestyle. His cultural references, however, are often incorrect. For instance, he at one point likens a piece of music to "Fellini's Lolita." Lolita was written by Vladimir Nabokov, and adapted for film once by Stanley Kubrick and again by Adrian Lyne. Federico Fellini never turned the book into a film. Moreover, Merryweather notes that he spent a summer "reading Proust in the original Italian". Marcel Proust wrote in French, not Italian.

DJ: Toni
Genre: 1980s Pop music (synthpop), dance-rock
Track list:

Summary: Flashback 95.6 plays 1980s pop music, and is hosted by "Toni" (Maria Chambers). It is aimed at people who are "stuck in the 80s" and, between songs, Toni reminisces about her hedonistic lifestyle during that time. Toni is also a DJ in two of GTAIII's prequels, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, both of which are set in the 1980s. The tracks on Flashback 95.6 are all taken from the soundtrack of the 1983 gangster film Scarface and all composed by Giorgio Moroder. Flashback is another of the Colombian Cartel's favorite radio stations.
