Songs forever associated with movies

“We’ll Meet Again” from Doctor Strangelove.

A real off beat one, Have yourself a mery little Christman from The Victors, during the scean where Cpl Spivic is executed.


Spelling and grammer subject to change without notice

Scean ??? I told you the spellling was subjec to change!!!

“Take the Skinheads Bowling” by Camper Van Beethoven, used in Bowling for Columbine.
Whenever I hear “Paint it Black”, I see the credits to Full Metal Jacket.
Same for Public Image Limited’s “This is What You Want, This is What You Get” and the film Hardware.

The filmmaker chose The Graduate as a vehicle for Simon & Garfunkel tunes; however as I recall, the snippets, or chorus of Mrs. Robinson heard in the film were written specifically for the film. It was not even a complete song until afterwards, because it became wildly popular from the movie. Sort of like, if this can be compared, the “Friends” theme song, which was later made into a full length tune.

Just thought of another one…Edison Lighthouse’s “Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes)” from Shallow Hal.

…Also Cake’s “Comfort Eagle” from the same movie.
