This morning we brought you riveting (or revolting depending on your disposition) photos and video of a hawk happily and hungrily devouring a pigeon in Madison Square Park. It was all fine and good, but the scene was also sorely lacking in compelling musical accompaniment. Now, thanks to the power of the interwebs, we proudly present for your lunchtime enjoyment: "Hawk Eating Pigeon—With Inception Music"
There, wasn't that better? But we still think there is room for improvement. What other songs would make improve this video? We've got a few suggestions below, but if you have a better one, put 'em in the comments and we'll happily oblige come the end of the day.
[Thanks to Nick Bisceglia for the masterful video editing!]
