Killin’ At The Soda Shop is an unreleased song recorded in late May 1985 at Sunset Sound in Hollywood, California. The song was intended for Jill Jones eponymous album, but ultimately not included.

Clare Fischer arranged and recorded orchestration for the song, presumably in August 1985, at Monterey Sound Studios in Glendale, and a part this recording was later used as the intro to Graffiti Bridge.
