Songs indelibly linked to a movie

[Troy McClure SF]

I was at work today, and they played Seal's "Kiss by a Rose" as the Muzak of the moment, and I noticed that whenever I hear that song, I always think of Batman. And, being the SDMB geek that I am, I thought, "Hey, that'll make a good thread!" So...

Aerosmith's "I Don't Wanna Miss a Thing"- Armageddon
Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody"- Wayne's World (showing my age, aren't I?)
Smashmouth's "All-Star"- Mystery Men
George Thorogood's "Bad to the Bone"- Terminator 2

[II Gyan II]

I'm not sure if these qualify...

1) Houston/I'll Always Love You/Bodyguard

2) White/You Sexy Thing/Full Monty

3) Any "title" song

e.g. Goldeneye, Die Another Day ...etc

[Earl of Sandwhich]

"The Time of my Life" from "Dirty Dancing."

[vivalostwages]

"Blue Velvet."
Song + movie.

[Hepcat421]

In your eyes - Say Anything

[NoClueBoy]

Ben - by Michael Jackson. Movie: Willard


Crisman Glover in the new version should be way cool. He is so weird.

[kiz]

"As Time Goes By" - Casablanca
"The Power of Love" (Huey Lewis and the News) - Back To The Future
anything sung by Vikki Carr - Moonstruck

[Trigonal Planar]

"Don't You Forget About Me" (Simple Minds) - The Breakfast Club

"Oh Yeah" (Yellow) - Ferris Bueller's Day Off

[RealityChuck]

"Mrs. Robinson" -- The Graduate

"Old Time Rock 'n Roll" -- Risky Business

[Joe_Cool]

DAMN! You beat me by 10 minutes. I thought I'd get to be the first to mention Simple Minds.

But, I'll point out that Yello doesn't have a 'W' in it. So there. :D

Actually, Ben was the theme song to the sequel to Willaerd also called Ben


"Unchained Melody" - Ghost

[Treviathan]

I will always cringe when I hear "Stuck in the Middle With You" because of its placement in Reservoir Dogs.

And at least that godawful "Can't Fight the Moonlight" song by Leann Rimes will be forever linked with images of Piper Perabo dancing on a bar in Coyote Ugly.

[Fibber McGee]

Not exactly the OP, but still related . . .

"The William Tell Overture" - The Lone Ranger

"The Liberty Bell March - Monty Python's Flying Circus

"Love and Marriage" - Married . . . With Children

[Agrippina]

Born to Be Wild = Easy Rider

This may be a stretch, but now whenever I hear Singin' in the Rain I think of the rape scene in A Clockwork Orange.

[greenphan]

Whenever I hear "Heart and Soul", I think about Big.

"Walking on Sunshine" by Katrina and the Waves will forever be associated with the god-awful pro-capitalism 1980s' style Michael J. Fox movie [/b]Secret of my Success[/b].

--greenphan

[gonzalo de cordoba]

Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries" and Apocalypse Now

and Fanfare for the Common Man (IIRC) and Space Odyssey

[look!ninjas]

I too think of A CLOCKWORK ORANGE when I hear "Singin' in the Rain." And there is a particular Phil Collins song (though I can't recall the title at the moment) that will now forever be associated with AMERICAN PSYCHO in my mind.

[Reeder]

Roxanne..as sang by Eddie Murphy in 48 Hrs

[FabioClone]

"Jessie's Girl" -Rick Springfield

Will now forever be associated with the crazy fireworks drug dealer in Boogie Nights.

[Joe_Cool]

Only You - So I Married An Axe Murderer. (in 7 languages)

So-Lo TU...

[kaylasdad99]

Sorry, the iconic music from 2001: A Space Odyssey was Richard Strauss' Also Sprach Zarathustra.

Fanfare for the Common Man is the theme associated with the Olympics.

Speaking of the Olympics, Chariots of Fire from Chariots of Fire.
Also Smashmouth's All Star and Shrek.
"Doo Wah Diddy" and Stripes.
Non, je ne regrette rien and Babe 2 A Pig in the City.
Cantique de Jean Racine by Gabriel Faure from Babe.

[mudcrutch]

People. Come on. Y'all are getting soft on me.

How could anybody forget "Eye of the Tiger" from the Rocky movies?

"In Too Deep" and "Sussudio" are the two Phil Collins songs in American Psycho".

The song [i]I can't hear without thinking of that movie is "Hip to be Square".

[RawkStah]

Actually, "You Sexy Thing" is by Hot Chocolate

While I don't link the song and the movie, I think that using "Where Is My Mind" by The Pixies at the end of "Fight Club" was just brilliant. It just fit musically.

"Judy Is A Punk" by The Ramones from "The Royal Tennenbaums".

"Also Sprach Zarathustra" by Richard Strauss and "The Blue Danube" by Johann Strauss from "2001: A Space Odyssey".

That "Oh, Yeah" song from "Ferris Buller's Day Off". Ch'chicka. Bow bow. Oh, and "When Cameron was in Egypt Land... Let My Cameron Go".

Actually, pretty much any synth-pop song from any John Hughes movie.

"Tequila" by The Champs in "Pee-Wee's Big Adventure"

[Turek]

"Driver's Seat" by Sniff'n the Tears, a song I liked before the movie, is now completely associated with Boogie Nights.

[ECJones29]

For years I thought of The Deer Hunter every time I heard Frankie Valli's "Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You."

One day a few years ago I was riding around town with my then-beau on a Sunday afternoon when that song came on the car radio. I told him what I just told you, and he said, "you are so weird. Why would you think of that association; nobody but you remembers that; blah, blah, blah."

Imagine his amazement when the song ended and the DJ came on and said, "Aah, remember that great scene in the pool hall in The Deer Hunter?

[Shootout]

"Highway to the Danger Zone"
Top Gun

[look!ninjas]

"In Too Deep"! Thank you, Fibber McGee!

[Fibber McGee]

The thing about Wes Anderson's movies is that every song in them so perfectly fits the scene(s) they're matched with that pretty much any song in Rushmore or The Royal Tennenbaums (Haven't seen Bottle Rockets) could become forever associated with that film in your mind.

[kaylasdad99]

How about Dark Side of the Moon and The Wizard of Oz?

:D

[Michael Ellis]

Shirley Bassey's Goldfinger and, um... Goldfinger.

[Kezermezer]

"All I Want is You" by U2, from Reality Bites

and

"Don't Dream It's Over" from The Stand. I know Neil Finn from Crowded House wrote it, but I'm not sure if it's his version they use. Definitely not the new one by Sixpence None the Richer.

[LifeOnWry]

Whenever I hear All Star by Smashmouth, I think of Shrek. And lately "I'm a Believer," too.

But after rereading the OP, I do remember All Star was in Mystery Men, too.

[NoClueBoy]

Ease On Down the Road from The Wiz

Van Halen's Eruption from Back To the Future

Van Halen's Tora Tora Tora from Tora Tora Tora (no wait, that's just in my head)

[Quack]

Al Green's "Let's Stay Together" from Pulp Fiction
Weezer's "Suzanne" from Mallrats
The Rolling Stone's "Paint it Black" from Full Metal Jacket

[NoClueBoy]

Holtz's The Planets reminds me of Star Wars, even though what's his name says he changed it up some.

[Mothchunks]

One Star Wars theme in particular owes a lot to "Mars" of Holst's planets. The one that plays at the begining as the huge star destroyer fills the screen in pursuit of Princess Leia.

Dick Dale's Misirilou from Pulp Fiction.

[Agrippina]

Day-O or The Banana Boat Song by Harry Belafonte will forever be associated with Beetlejuice.

[sciguy]

"Dueling Banjos" -- Does it really need saying?

"Flower's on the wall" -- Pulp Fiction In my head it's always Bruce Willis singing.

"You and Me and the Bottle make three" -- Swingers

"Because I got High" -- Jay and Silent Bob strike back. Anyone know if this was done for the movie, or just a coincidence that they came out fairly concurrently?

Pachelbel's "Canon in D" -- Ordinary People

"Wild Thing" -- Unfortunately, I will never be able to hear this song without thinking of Major League, and dammit I need compensation for that!

[Quack]

Yes, I have started the Pulp Fiction trend, and now I fade into Bolivian.....

[NoClueBoy]

Man of Constant Sorrow by the Soggy Bottom Boys from O Brother, Where Art Thou?

[TeaElle]

Whenever I hear it, I think of a silly scene in the should-have-been-much-better-than-it-was Robert Redford/Debra Winger flick Legal Eagles.

In addition:

Danke Schoen - Ferris Bueller's Day Off
Superstar & You Got It- Boys On the Side

[koeeoaddi]

Tiny Dancer - Almost Famous
Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head - Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid
One Tin Soldier - Billy Jack (may God forgive me)

[RawkStah]

"Everybody Wants Some" by Van Halen in "Better Off Dead"

[Cholo]

You Could Be Mine by Guns and Roses from Terminator 2

Louie, Louie by The Kingsmen (Is that right?) from Animal House

I'm Alright by Kenny Loggins from Caddyshack

[KarlGauss]

Adagio for Strings (Barber) - Platoon

[MemoryLeak]

Tubular Bells - The Exorcist

[jk1245]

American Girl from Silence of the Lambs

Even more indelible from the same movie is Goodbye Horses from Q Lazarus, though it's a little known tune. Everyone seems to remember it from the scene where Buffalo Bill is dancing in front of the camera followed by the.......uhh........."package tucking" scene.

Lately, Cake's Comfort Eagle from Shallow Hal, simply becasue that movie seems to be on every 5 minutes on HBO.

[robby]

This many posts and nobody's mentioned:

My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion in Titanic

Also:

You've Lost that Loving Feeling by The Righteous Brothers in Top Gun

[brianjedi]

Every time I hear Alice in Chains' "Got Me Wrong" I think of Clerks. The song only played for 30-40 seconds in the movie, but I always make that connection.

[SolGrundy]

Not movies, but whenever I hear "Beyond the Sea" by Bobby Darin I think of the episode with the same name from "The X-Files."

When I hear "Your Song" by Elton John I think of Moulin Rouge. Same with "Roxanne" by The Police.

I heard "Funniculi, Funnicula" the other day and instantly thought of Heavenly Creatures, which kind of surprised me, since I'd heard the song hundreds of times before seeing that movie.

And count me in as another who associates "Singin' in the Rain" with A Clockwork Orange instead of Singin' in the Rain.

[Protesilaus]

"Let It Snow" always makes me think of the end of Die Hard.

[Agrippina]

Paint It Black by the Rolling Stones reminds me of Full Metal Jacket, even though it plays during the credits. Add "The Mickey Mouse Club" theme song to that movie as well.

[xizor]

"Mama told me not to Come" by Three Dog Night from Boogie Nights

"Golden Years" by David Bowie from A Knight's Tale

[Chronos]

Enya's "Book of Days" and Far and Away, although the association sort of goes the other way for me. As in, "Oh, that's that movie with the Enya song".

[Intaglio]

Bittersweet Symphony - The Verve, in Midnight In The Garden of Good and Evil.

[WonTon Sean]

C'mon, now...
"Who ya gonna call? GHOSTBUSTERS!"

[MrMyth]

What, no Almost Famous fans? Elton John, Tiny Dancer.

[Marathon]

Sarah McLachlan's "I Will Remember You" in The Brothers McMullen.

The Temptations' "Ain't Too Proud To Beg" from The Big Chill. I hated that movie, and now I associate that song with feelings of dislike. It's too bad.

Bartók's Music for Strings, Percussion, and Celesta, Penderecki's De Natura Sonoris no. 1 and Ligeti's Lontano from The Shining.

[SmackFu]

[fusoya]

it was mentioned earlier, kinda, but Ruby Tuesday & Hey Jude always make me think of The Royal Tennebaums

Bowie's Something in the Air and Memento

Stefenwulf's Magic Carpet Ride and Go

BNL's One Week and American Pie

and of course, a bunch of other good ones that have already been mentioned.

[Spavined Gelding]

The 72d's Farewell to Gibraltar--Tunes of Glory, a wonderful dark Alix Guinness and John Mills
movie about the ostracizing of a new battalion commander in the British Army

Men of Harlech--Zulu, Michael Caine's first big film, and of course

[Tex Ritter Voice]
"Dew nought forrrsake meee, Ho my darrr-lynnn"
[end voice]
from High Noon.

[xizor]

Unfortunately, O Fortuna is the theme music for seemingly every Gothic horror movie trailer I see.

[The MacDairmuid]

Ravel's Bolero always reminds me of Atouk trying to have sex with the sedated Lana in Caveman.

And any song used in the movie Heavy Metal brings that movie to mind. Usually the scene as well.

... I watched that movie way too much as a teenager. :dubious:

[Krokodil]

"Tiny Dancer" and Almost Famous
"Sister Christian" and Boogie Nights
"Oobie Doobie" and ST:First Contact

[Intaglio]

I had forgotten about "Bittersweet Symphony" in Cruel Intentions.
I remember it in Midnight.

[Troy McClure SF]

The Foundation's "Build me up Buttercup"- There's Something About Mary

[foxfiregrrl]

I have the same reaction with that song, and with "You'll Never Walk Alone." Any version, although the Mario Lanza version especially.

[Zoe]

Karl, Adagio for Strings was also the theme music for The Elephant Man.

"Chain of Fools" -- The Committments

"Moon River" -- Breakfast at Tiffany's

"Cavaleria Rusticana" -- Raging Bull

"Put the Blame on Mame" -- Gilda

[Convict]

Are you referring to the scene where Marty is in his father's bedroom and plays the Van Halen clip through the headphones? If so, this is not Eruption. It was a clip that Eddie recorded specifically for the movie and never released on a Van Halen album.

And now you're probably going to ask for a cite and I don't have one :( .

[ElwoodCuse]

Isn't "Fanfare for the Common Man" from "The Natural"?

I've got two other choices: "Damn it feels good to be a gangster" and "Office Space", and "Summer in the city" and "Die Hard with a vengeance".

[dwc1970]

"Moving in Stereo" by the Cars- Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

[JThunder]

Johnny B. Goode, from that movie where Michael J. Fox traveled to 1955, then back to the future.

[Ender_Will]

"Stuck in the Middle with You" from Reservoir Dogs. I cannot hear that song without thinking of the ear, nor can anyone I know. Anyone I know that has seen the movie, that is.
I also saw some garbage vampire film (The Forsaken, I think it was called) where one of the vampires starts singing "Enter Sandman"...now I can't listen to it without thinking of a crappy film, so I think the film is linked to the song.

[eenerms]

Unchained Melody.....Ghost
Suzy Q and Satisfaction.... Apocolypse Now

[Rilchiam]

Surfin' Bird: Full Metal Jacket

[Rilchiam]

Also forgot to mention that I cannot hear "Midnight Train to Georgia" without hearing Albert Brooks in my head: "I can sing while I read...I am sing-ing and read-ing both!"

[Sauron]

"Suicide is Painless" and M*A*S*H.

"(I Would Walk) 500 Miles" and Benny and Joon.

[dwc1970]

Should've included this one in my previous post:

I always think of the opening scene in the first Lethal Weapon movie whenever I hear "Jingle Bell Rock."

[Amp]

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Queen song, not sure what it's called and Highlander.

[Sauron]

I think you're talking about "Princes of the Universe." I agree -- that's a good one.

[Vector]

Actually Bad to the Bone is best associated with Al Bundy. I know Married with Children isn't a movie but...
How about the Kingsmen - Louie, Louie linked to Animal House?
Sam and Dave - Hold On I'm Coming linked to the Blues Brothers

[Amp]

Yeah, that's it. whenever it comes on I always think of Highlander.

[Shayna]

There's kindof an obscure movie from 1977 with Henry Winkler and Harrison Ford called Heroes. I don't remember any of the details, I just recall that Henry Winkler played a Viet Nam vet who (possibly) escaped from (or voluntarily signed out of) a mental hospital in search of some of his Nam buddies. As I recall, he slowly sunk into despair as his friends, one by one, abandoned him and he couldn't fulfill his dream of starting (yes, you're reading it right) a worm farm. I was 16 when I saw it and it was probably a really, really bad movie, but I'll never forget crying when they rolled the credits while playing Carry On Wayward Son by Kansas. And I still can't hear that song and not think of that movie.

Also, there's...

Up Where We Belong by Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warnes, from An Officer and a Gentleman

Take a Look at Me Now by Phil Collins, from Against All Odds

and of course,

Arthur's Theme (Best That You Can Do) by Christopher Cross, from Arthur

[Nvme77]

My sharona- Reality Bites

Ace of Spades- Grosse Point Blank

Mickey- Bring it On

[LilyoftheValley]

Free Fallin' by Tom Petty = Tom Cruise driving in Jerry McGuire

[Blonde]

Also from Animal House: the scene where Steven what's-his-name is playing guitar on the stairs inside the frat house -- the song goes "I bought my love a flower" or something inane like that. I actually met the composer a couple of years ago; he also wrote the theme for Tootsie. He's sort of odd.

"The End" by the Doors: Apocalypse Now

"Alice's Restaurant" (the song): Alice's Restaurant (the movie)

"Comin' Back to Me" (Jefferson Airplane): Flashback

[Rubystreak]

"Foxey Lady" by Jimi Hendrix = Wayne's World

"That's Amore" sung by Dino = Moonstruck

"The Candyman" = Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory

"What a Feeling" & "Maniac" = Flashdance

"Katmandu" by Bob Seger = Mask (not The Mask)

"You Can't Always Get What You Want" by the Rolling Stones = The Big Chill

"Let's Get It On" by Marvin Gaye = High Fidelity

[nebco9]

How about:

Raindrops keep falling on my head- Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid

[DeaconBlues]

How about "Old Time Rock and Roll" by Bob Seger? I always associate that one with "Risky Business" and the scene where Tom Cruise is dancing in his underwear after his parents leave....

[DeaconBlues]

Er... Sorry RealityChuck!!! Was rereading the thread and just now realized you had mentioned "Old Time Rock and Roll."

Modern English - Melt With You from Valley Girl
Phil Collins - In the Air Tonight from Risky Business

Elton John - Tiny Dancer
Foreigner - Hot Blooded
Van Morrison - Carnival

I've heard the reruns and videos of WKRP don't have the original music. That sucks.

"I Can't Help Falling in Love With You" (the remake) by UB40 from Sliver

[ceyjen]

and...

"No Ordinary Love" by Sade from Indecent Proposal

[Freudian Slit]

How about "Same Old Song" by the Four Tops, in Blood Simple. Ugh...every time I hear that song, I think of mopping up blood on a barroom floor with a teeny tiny t-shirt...or I think about possibly the world's creepiest Texan cowboy. Still good, though.

[Wolfian]

Music for a Cat Walking on a Piano- Eyes Wide Shut

William Tell Overture
Pomp and Circumstance I and IV
The Theiving Magpie
Beethoven's Ninth
-all from A Clockwork Orange

Tanhauser Overture- Bram Stoker's Dracula
We had to watch that crap for a course. The only thing that got me thru it was Wiona Ryder, the woman who played Persephone in The Matrix Reloaded as a scantily clad vampress and her two vampress friends, the fact that Hopkins reminded me of a professor of mine, and humming the Pilgrim's Chorus whenever Dracula assumed his old form.

[okielady]

All Along the Watchtower and Blowin in the Wind remind me of Forrest Gump. Oh, and Turn Turn Turn, as well.

Don't You Forget About Me is definitely The Breakfast Club, but another song that reminds me of that movie is Changes by David Bowie. The opening of that movie has a quote from that song: "And these children that you spit upon as they try to change their worlds, are immune to your consultations, they're quite aware of what they're going through."

Time Is On My Side by the Rolling Stones - Fallen, with Denzel Washington and John Goodman.

Into the Mystic by Van Morrisson - Dream a Little Dream (hey, I was only 16.) This song also reminds me of Immediate Family, with Glenn Close and Mary Stuart Masterson.

Any of the music from the movie Stand By Me. I think I've got that movie memorized. Same with other teen movies of the 80s: Ferris, TBC, 16 Candles, Better Off Dead, Back to the Future, etc...

Everybody Wants to Rule the World by Tears for Fears - Real Genius

Invincible by Pat Benatar - The Legend of Billie Jean

I'll Take You There (not sure who the artist is) - Threesome

[Troy McClure SF]

My thread! It's aliiiiive!

Now that I think about it, the 20th Century Fox Fanfare immediately makes me think of Star Wars, but that's probably just me.

[Evil Death]

Queen provided the entire soundtrack, nearly. Most of the songs are from "A Kind of Magic" - much of the album was written for the film, including the title track, Gimme The Prize and Don't Lose Your Head. The only track of significance not from that album is Hammer To Fall, which Kirk Matunas listens to in his car shortly before his meeting with the Kurgan.

[Evil Death]

Oh, and that fucking awful Celine Dion song and Titanic. I'm surprised nobody's mentioned it before. Maybe we're all blocking?

[Bjork]

I second unchained melody for ghost and bittersweet symphony for cruel intentions (*sobs*...you have to feel sorry for Kathryn)
Also....
Supermodel by Jill Sobule - Clueless
Romeo and Juliet by Dire Straits - Empire Records

But most of all
Mad World - Donnie Darko
I feel terrible, I dont even know who it is by..like Garry Jules or something. It's a fantastic song, but gets so much recognition for being the Donnie Darko song. *sigh*

[Bjork]

And yes we are all ignoring the Titanic song....what person in their right mind wants to think about that song (and if anyone quotes me and tries to argue that it is a good song...one word for you shuttup. Or maybe that is two shut....up. The second one has more impact, its two.)
