Pull up a chair. It’s that time when Kotaku takes a break from it’s round the clock gaming news and how-is-this-news? and cozies up with some music. This is Soundtrack

Tonight, we’ve got country music icon Chet Atkins playing ā€œThe Third Man Themeā€, originally written and performed by Anton Karas for the 1949 film of the same name.

Those who live in Japan will know the tune from a series of beer ads.

It’s a great song and one suited to the Country Gentleman’s brilliant guitar picking style. Check out the original here, and if you haven’t already, check out the film.
