Hmm. Always reminds me of the movie Billy Jack
Elmer Bernstein’s music for The Magnificent Seven (which I love) always reminds me of that movie…
…and, of course, of Marlboro cigarettes, because they licensed the use of it for all those cigarette ads on 1960s TV, which I heard repeatedly long before I ever saw the movie.
Maybe I’m being whooshed, but this quote from @peccavi is from the movie Billy Jack.
Yeah, I considered taking my right foot and whopping @CalMeacham on the side of the face but decided I was more likely to end up weakly tapping him on the calf while falling over and wrenching my back…
So I decided to take the path of forgiveness… 
When I hear “Everybody Wants to Rule the World,” I think of a giant Jiffy Pop.
It’s always a joy to see self control win out.
I hate popcorn (and Great Danes).
“How Do You Make a Movie About Religion?” and “Dough Means Cash for All of Us” from The $ound of Money, MAD Magazine’s satire of The Sound of Music.
Also, “The Corniest Things” from the same satire.
“Chim-Chim-Cheree,” from Mary Poppins.
The MAD song parodies are great (and the writers don’t get enough credit. we all remember the artists, but the writers deserve credit, too. Songs were often by Frank Jacobs, Dick de Bartolo, Larry Siegel, Tom Koch, Charlie Kadau, and Desmond Devlin). One of my favorite lines is from their parody of Jaws
Hear me pray to God
To deliver us
For by now you will have learned
Sharks are carnivorous
California Girls (originally by The Beach Boys) - A View to a Kill
And I will never forgive whoever decided to put that (well, a cover of it) in the film.
“In Dreams”- Blue Velvet
Top of the World (The Carpenters)- Shrek 4
When “Weird Al” became MAD’s first (and so far only) guest editor for an issue, he found it hard to contribute on their song pariodies - something you would think he would excel at! - because when he writes a parody for performance, he can add or subtract a syllable in the text and slur together or extend syllables to make it work out. This gives him a little flexibility in making the line more humorous.
Not so with a MAD song parody, where the meter must be preserved precisely or it becomes hard for the reader to follow or to “hear” mentally the music that it goes with. Al had to change his process to accommodate the new challenge, which gives me a lot of respect for those who dealt with it month in and month out. Like you said, talented writers.
Woo hoo woo hoo hoo…
I won’t even bother naming the film.
“Johnny B Goode,” “You’re Sixteen, You’re Beautiful, and You’re Mine,” and “Green Onions” from American Graffiti.
Well, alrighty then!
Time in a bottle used in Days of Future Past.
How could I forget this one from The $ound of Money?
How come I’m alone
and there’s so much music?
High up on a hill
with no one in view?
Just how can there be
all this sound and music?
A musical question I pose
to you!
See how I run up
this steep mountainside
without ever losing a beat
You’d think that my lungs
would give out up here
over ten thousand feet!
To do all these things
with a wide-mouthed grin
really should not amaze.
I’ve had lots of rest
'cause they filmed it on five different days.
I’m not singing now,
I am pre-recorded.
I’m just mouthing words
I have sung before.
And how does it feel
to be singing nothing?
It’s an aw-ful bore!
Most songs from My Fair Lady, in fact:
“Why Can’t the English?”
“Wouldn’t It Be Loverly?”
“With a Little Bit of Luck”
“The Rain in Spain”
“I could Have Danced All Night”
Et cetera.
Yes. I watched that movie many, many times when I was a kid.
