CoT: What should the soundtrack be?

Prog rockers Mercury Tree has an album called Spidermilk (in 17 edo tuning), and the first track is I Am a Husk, which may be appropriate for a certain character: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hxFC8...
The Lime Spiders from Australia is always a good bet. Their song "Slave Girl" was covered by the Goo Goo Dolls once.
Oh a music league app kinda thing would be fun where everyone could submit one song for the ultimate CoT playlist! Until I find a fitting song, I submit the Soundtrack for Star Trek First Contact. Some of the Borg stuff there has a great skittish quality...

"The Spiders from Mars" was Bowie's band in his Ziggy Stardust phase.
Also "Spider Woman" by Uriah Heep.
You can't not have the Spiderman theme song from the classic cartoon series.
Tom mentioned the Electric Company Spiderman theme on the stream: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fTm-R...Ramones version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5P8l...

Ahh, you beat me to it by a few minutes.
While I guess the spider-themed answers are more in keeping with the original question, I think something more percussive would be a better representation of the drumming creatures in the book. For example, something jazzy and syncopated like Take Five:https://youtu.be/-DHuW1h1wHw

In that vein I would go for Planet Drum by Mickey Hart, as some of those songs are syncopated but not always melodic:

Or something from Kodo or Soh Daiko, like Hachidan:

Nothing specific but for a creepy otherworld feel I always go for something by Tangerine Dream.
Robert Rich & Ian Boddy's ambient space album Outpost. Lagrange Point is a nice example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=die8D... That's not a woman's voice, but a slide guitar with sustainer and the "gliss" technique.
That link didn't work for me: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oESfa...Hmm, something with a lot of percussion? Time to roll out the Ghost in the Shell SAC intro: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QxkMz... The tachikomas kind of look like spiders. It also has three languages. Too bad the show wasn't computer animated like the intro. She connects to machines too.

Also it's only the name of the band and the content of the song is... uhm... completely different!
I'm'a start with Boris the Spider from The Who. (Boris, of course, being the name of the less-well-known Musician specialist among the spiders. So I've heard. Or just made up right now.)
I may be partial to this one as I saw John Entwhistle perform it at a Who concert around 1989. I'd lucked into 16th row tickets and could see fairly well. If you squinted just right at his 12-string bass you could maybe see a web...
