The lyrics are so damn cheesy. Simultaneously awesome and excruciating.
How about “And the Beat Goes On” by the Whispers:
The next gritty reboot of a beloved crime investigator should have Tavares’ Whodunit thrown in for a bit of much needed comic relief.
Our House, (the Crosby, Stills & Nash song and not the Madness song because the Madness song isn’t 70’s) is such an obvious choice for so many rom-com, serious drama type movie that I’m sure it’s been used already. If not, then it should be in Paul Rudd’s next movie.
I want to see Gamora bust out some moves to Leo Sayers’ Long Tall Glasses.
I bought the Vol. 2 soundtrack last week and it’s not nearly as good as the first one, not least because it’s simply trying too goddamned hard.
Don’t Pull Your Love by Hamilton, Joe Frank, & Reynolds
I’m too late to the game. All of these are probably taken already, but… what the hell:
Baker Street. Maybe a ship repair scene.
semi-funny… Ring My Bell (to a fight scene?)
Ain’t No Stoppin Us Now at the end of an escape scene…?
If there is a Love Conflict… Turn To Stone?
For the Hard questions? The Logical Song.
For tracking down villains? Shame. (no, the Other shame)
This is kind of a vamp-step-off-the-ship song. Flash-Light.
…and… if I can cheat a little bit…
and
too late to add: (wish i could fly like) Superman… kinks 1979
Already done, back in 2010 by The Book of Eli in an ACTUAL gun battle IIRC!
I’ve got some good ones in mind myself, I’ll post em later.
Angie Baby by Helen Reddy
Perfect for a psychological thriller or the right kind of horror movie.
