Sharp Objects' music supervisor explains the Easter egg in the opening credits

Harper's Bazaar

"If you watch all of the opening title sequences, it’s the same piece of music re-interpreted in a different genre every time, always starting with the record player," says music supervisor Susan Jacobs. "We start off in Episode 1 with an old 1950s melody from Alan’s music, which is a piece called 'Dance and Angela.' In subsequent episodes there’s a solo piano version, a dance version, a hip hop version, but they are all interpretations of the same basic melody."
