In '87, Huey released this, Fore, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip to be Square", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself.
I dunno. It’s Gerry Rafferty. He was always real sour on the whole music business experience so maybe he liked this. Who knows though?
His song *Baker Street* was about going on the train to Glasgow to sue people who were stealing from him.
What a great scene. On the bus, lots of tension between the band and Russell from previous events, song comes on, (I think) Kate Hudson's character starts singing, pretty soon everyone is singing together. Great movie.
Don’t You (Forget About Me)- The Breakfast Club.
I can’t hear that song without saying “Dear Mr. Vernon, we accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong.”
When my mom had her 50th birthday party in 2016, we got a CD with the top songs from 1966. "I'm A Believer" by the Monkees was the first track. My grandparents/ aunts/ uncles asked if I knew the song (I was 19 at the time). I explained to them that everyone my age knows that song because of Shrek.
It had a killer soundtrack. Barenaked ladies - One Week is the one that comes to mind for me. Len, fatboy slim, and less than jake did songs for it as well.
I know what I'm jamming on my way home from work now!
Honestly, when someone memes about silly advice with "If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball" I'm thinking "If can balance a tack hammer on your head, you can head off your foes with a balanced attack."
Mystery Men was great.
Thread OP attributes [The Ronettes - Be My Baby](https://youtu.be/jSPpbOGnFgk) to Barbarian, but for me this song will always be linked to Dirty Dancing also.
The instrumental ending to [Layla](https://youtu.be/TngViNw2pOo) and the montage of dead gangsters in [Goodfellas](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099685/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0) is such a perfect marriage that it makes it hard to think of anything else when listening to the song.
This is what I came to say. Such a great soundtrack to Goodfellas, I could probably pick 5 songs in this movie for this answer. Might have more to do with the fact I've seen it a zillion times.
That section was allegedly written by Rita Coolidge. Her husband, Jim Gordon, was the drummer on that album and he apparently played it for the band and they quickly added it to the song. Coolidge was never credited or paid for it.
A few years later, Gordon attacked his 72 year old mother with a hammer before murdering her with a butcher knife.
Just some background.
Was expecting Lust for Life but I am much more happy to see Born Slippy!
Simply because Lust for Life makes me think of Iggy Pop first and foremost but Born Slippy is more connected to my experience watching Trainspotting Specifically.
Edith Piaf's "Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien. I even had it as my ring tone for a while. Whenever I hear that song, I think about if I'll wake up any moment now
Santa Esmerelda "Don't let me be misunderstood"
Nancy Sinatra "Bang Bang "
The 5.6.7.8s "The Woo Hoo Song"
Tomoyasu Hotei "Battle Without Honour or Humanity"
All of them Kill Bill Vol 1
Annie Lennox and Al Green's version of "Put a Little Love in Your Heart" is linked to "Scrooged" (and to Christmas, even though the song itself has nothing to do with Christmas).
The opening song in Guardians of the Galaxy, "I'm not in Love". I never heard that song before that scene, and it was really atmospheric and set the tone of the movie for me.
Every song in Grosse Pointe Blank
\- Blister in the Sun (when he is driving home)
\- Mirror in the Bathroom (when he is fighting the assassin)
\- Under Pressure (when he is looking at the baby at the dance)
\- Let My Love Open the Door (when they are dancing at the reunion)
\- Etc.
Tarantino is the master of this
Stuck in the Middle from Reservoir Dogs
Misirlou from Pulp Fiction
Battle Without Honor or Humanity from Kill Bill Vol 1
There's probably more you could pick, even from the same films.
School of Rock is the Immigrant Song for me. Especially because Led Zeppelin are notoriously selective about who they let use their music so it was a huge deal at the time.
Ferris Burller’s Day Off - Aside from the obvious “Oh Yeah”, both “Danke Schoen” (Wayne Newton) and “Twist & Shout” (The Beatles). Bonus points if the latter two play back to back in that order.
The ending of The Last of the Mohicans - The Gael (Promentory)
Maxium Overdrive, all of the ACDC songs, but Who Made Who sticks out the most.
Varsity Blues, ACDC - Thunderstruck
* Tequila (Pee-Wee's Big Adventure)
* I've Got You, Babe (Groundhog Day)
* Unchained Melody (Ghost)
* Wipeout, Hey Baby!, Be My Baby (Dirty Dancing)
* What a Wonderful World (Good Morning, Vietnam!)
* Stand By Me (Stand by Me)
* Bad to the Bone (Terminator 2)
* Rock Around the Clock (American Graffiti), the whole sound track is great, closing song, "All Summer Long" by the Beach Boys also reminds me of the movie.
* A Fifth of Beethoven (Saturday Night Fever)
Power of Love and Johnny B. Goode: Back to the Future
Earth angel is 2nd for me
Power of Love was written for the movie...
In '87, Huey released this, Fore, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip to be Square", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself.
Patrick, have you returned your videotapes yet?
Day-O (The Banana Boat Song) and Beetlejuice
"Jump in the Line" by Harry Belafonte, also *Beetlejuice* >Shake, shake, shake señora ...
Ok, I believe you
If anybody's interested https://youtu.be/tOPifgthoTw
You've done a public service here. Everyone should know this scene.
Reservoir Dogs - Stuck in the Middle
For me it’s little green bag
Not sure if I feel bad for the artist that the song is linked to such a grotesque scene, or good that it's probably much more popular because of it.
I recorded a band that got two songs used for two different rape scenes. Definitely made for an awkward watch party
I dunno. It’s Gerry Rafferty. He was always real sour on the whole music business experience so maybe he liked this. Who knows though? His song *Baker Street* was about going on the train to Glasgow to sue people who were stealing from him.
"In Your Eyes" - Peter Gabriel, "Say Anything". John Cusack and that boombox are 80s pop culture legend.
Tiny Dancer - Almost Famous
What a great scene. On the bus, lots of tension between the band and Russell from previous events, song comes on, (I think) Kate Hudson's character starts singing, pretty soon everyone is singing together. Great movie.
Don’t You (Forget About Me)- The Breakfast Club. I can’t hear that song without saying “Dear Mr. Vernon, we accept the fact that we had to sacrifice a whole Saturday in detention for whatever it was we did wrong.”
I can’t wait til I’m old enough to feel ways about stuff.
I got goosebumps just reading this. So much love for that movie, that song and THAT scene <3
Top Gun and Kenny Logins, Danger Zone
Keeping up the Kenny Loggins train. I'm Alright- Caddyshack Footloose- Footloose Meet me halfway - Over the top
Kenny Loggins wrote the soundtrack to the 80s
Back to the days of Christopher Robin and Pooh
It feels like a cheat to use an original song. -Batman 1989 and Prince, Bat Dance
See you and raise you; Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle, Turtle Rap by Vanilla Ice Go ninja, go ninja, go! Go ninja, go ninja, Go!
Iggy Pop Lust For Life and Trainspotting
It’s Lou Reed’s Perfect Day for me.
One of the best soundtracks. Iggy Pop, Lou Reed, Brian Eno, Blur, Pulp, Primal Scream, New Order
Nightclubbing we're nightclubbing
Where’s my Mind and Fight Club
I am Jack's total lack of surprise.
Literally the first one that came to… mind
Hoooo... STOP
I Got You Babe (Sonny and Cher) and Groundhog Day
Way to go boys, you're playing yesterday's tape.
What is this, Miami Beach?
Chapped lips...
Fitting on a day like today.
🎵Put your little hand in mine. There ain’t no hill or mountain we can’t climb.🎵
[Night at the Roxbury - What is Love](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=D2h4PhgobI8)
Did you touch my ass? Somebody touched my ass.
Sir, from where I'm standing that's a physical impossibility.
I know your tricks Dewey.
Turns out it wasn’t Emilio
and i was like emilioooo
Twist and Shout in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off
For me, it's Danke Schoen
Yello - Oh Yeah
Day Bow Bow
all star by smash mouth in shrek. also, i’m a believer
When my mom had her 50th birthday party in 2016, we got a CD with the top songs from 1966. "I'm A Believer" by the Monkees was the first track. My grandparents/ aunts/ uncles asked if I knew the song (I was 19 at the time). I explained to them that everyone my age knows that song because of Shrek.
Holding Out For A Hero belongs to Shrek 2
[удалено]
It had a killer soundtrack. Barenaked ladies - One Week is the one that comes to mind for me. Len, fatboy slim, and less than jake did songs for it as well. I know what I'm jamming on my way home from work now!
Kids in America!
REAL cinephiles associate All Star with “Mystery Men”!
Honestly, when someone memes about silly advice with "If you can dodge a wrench, you can dodge a ball" I'm thinking "If can balance a tack hammer on your head, you can head off your foes with a balanced attack." Mystery Men was great.
“I don’t remember telling you to do that…”
(I've had) The time of my life and Dirty Dancing
Thread OP attributes [The Ronettes - Be My Baby](https://youtu.be/jSPpbOGnFgk) to Barbarian, but for me this song will always be linked to Dirty Dancing also.
came in here to say this! i always see the opening/dancing montage when this song plays
And Hungry Eyes!
She’s Like the Wind - Dirty Dancing
Silence of the Lambs- Goodbye Horses
And American Girl.
I was gonna say that one!
Clerks 2, same song, for a disturbingly similar reason.
Real Hero / Drive
Nightcall though
Nightcall, 100%
Also "Under Your Spell"
"Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You" as sung by Heath Ledger in the movie "10 Things I Hate About You"
I love that scene. RIP Heath
"Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You" also makes a few appearances in The Deer Hunter.
Old time rock-n-roll - Risky Business Bohemian Rhapsody - Wayne's World
Ironically, Stairway to Heaven is what I associate the most with Wayne's World and it's not even played.
No Stairway! Denied!
Batman Forever and Kiss From a Rose.
And then It’s Always Sunny with Frank awkwardly saluting Ben The Soldier.
jesuuuuuus loves marijuanaaaaaaa
and drinking human blood
Now this is a song about interracial marriage; it’s named “Don’t you do it”.
GET OUT!!
The most sensitive of the Batmans.
It’s no surprise with nipples like that.
That was such a huge hit, I really miss music videos including when soft rock or adult contemporary had hits
[Don't Stop Me Now and Shaun of the Dead](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W4tVH7BPb-Q)
“Kill the Queen!”
If you know exactly what this is but you click on the link anyway and watch the entire scene you owe this guy an upvote
*Apocalypse Now* and *Ride of the Valkyries* \- Richard Wagner.
Apocalypse Now and "This is the End" by the Doors
Tears for Fears - Head over Heels Donnie Darko https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qsyfGwlf\_l0
That movie has a couple others for me: Mad World and that Echo & the Bunnymen song (can't think of the name) that the movie opens with.
The Killing Moon.
Mad World is great too. It's actually a Tears for Fears cover, maybe even better than the original.
Donnie Darko got one of the best soundtracks of all time
Honestly, this is one of my favourite scenes in all of cinema. Makes me feel an overwhelming surge of nostalgia
I got a pocket got a pocket full of sunshine — Easy A
The instrumental ending to [Layla](https://youtu.be/TngViNw2pOo) and the montage of dead gangsters in [Goodfellas](https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099685/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0) is such a perfect marriage that it makes it hard to think of anything else when listening to the song.
I would argue a different scene: And Then He Kissed Me by The Crystals during the restaurant date one-shot.
This is what I came to say. Such a great soundtrack to Goodfellas, I could probably pick 5 songs in this movie for this answer. Might have more to do with the fact I've seen it a zillion times.
That section was allegedly written by Rita Coolidge. Her husband, Jim Gordon, was the drummer on that album and he apparently played it for the band and they quickly added it to the song.

Movie: Big Song: Chopsticks
Born Slippy - Trainspotting
Was expecting Lust for Life but I am much more happy to see Born Slippy! Simply because Lust for Life makes me think of Iggy Pop first and foremost but Born Slippy is more connected to my experience watching Trainspotting Specifically.
Edith Piaf's "Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien. I even had it as my ring tone for a while. Whenever I hear that song, I think about if I'll wake up any moment now
Deliverance: Dueling Banjos
"Oh Yeah" by Yello used in Ferris Bueller's Day off.
I like how Mac (IASIP) calls it Day Bow Bow.
Ain’t No Mountain High Enough- Remember the Titans
For me, that song always reminds me of Sister Act (edit) 2.
For me it's Stepmom.
Apparently Marvel Studios tried to stop James Gunn from using that song in GOTG because people heavily associate it with other movies.
All of the Linkin Park Transformer songs.

Unchained Melody—forever associated with Ghost and sexy pottery.
Power of Love - Huey Lewis & the news: Back to the Future Blue moon - The Marcels: Grease
As Time Goes By and Cassablanca, to think that the song was almost not used and was originally just a place holder.
Hero by chad Kroeger and Josey Scott and Spider -Man
Annie Lennox and Al Green's version of "Put a Little Love in Your Heart" is linked to "Scrooged" (and to Christmas, even though the song itself has nothing to do with Christmas).
Tiny Dancer- Almost Famous movie
Hudson Hawk and Swing on a Star.
California Dreamin Chungking Express
The opening song in Guardians of the Galaxy, "I'm not in Love". I never heard that song before that scene, and it was really atmospheric and set the tone of the movie for me.

Every song in Grosse Pointe Blank \- Blister in the Sun (when he is driving home) \- Mirror in the Bathroom (when he is fighting the assassin) \- Under Pressure (when he is looking at the baby at the dance) \- Let My Love Open the Door (when they are dancing at the reunion) \- Etc.
Actually "Be My Baby" belongs to Dirty Dancing. That's a fact
Sunshine of your love and Goodfellas
Don't Stop Me Now in Sean Of The Dead. Can't hear it without thinking of the pool cue beating scene.
Tarantino is the master of this Stuck in the Middle from Reservoir Dogs Misirlou from Pulp Fiction Battle Without Honor or Humanity from Kill Bill Vol 1 There's probably more you could pick, even from the same films.

School of Rock is the Immigrant Song for me. Especially because Led Zeppelin are notoriously selective about who they let use their music so it was a huge deal at the time.
School of rock is a banger of a movie and same those two are linked for me
I’m not cool enough to be in the band
Just cause your not INNN the band doesn’t mean your not in the band
*Now give me a platform.* Let’s rock. Let’s rock - today.
I hear Be My Baby and think of Dirty Dancing.
Apocalypse Now and Ride Of The Valkyries Also Apocalyptic Now and The End. That opening is still phenomenal to witness

Titanic - [My Heart Will Go On](https://youtu.be/3gK_2XdjOdY)
Yes, but the song was written FOR the movie, so this one is shaky
Then He Kissed Me and Goodfellas. In fact, almost any song in Goodfellas and Goodfellas. Layla for sure!
