It was a song called "Her Eyes Are a Blue Million Miles" by Captain Beefheart and The Magic Band, from an album we did in 1972 for Warner Reprise called Clear Spot. I played drums on it.
Fairly early in the film, when "The Dude" is mixing his first White Russian cocktail, is when the song is heard. Why they chose that song for that scene is unknown to me. I think probably that "T Bone" Burnett was a fan of ours. He was the music supervisor (archivist) for the film.
I'm glad they used it, and I still get a few bucks every year for residuals...

I was listening to Clear Spot when I discovered a tick on my back last summer!
Cool.
