The other day I was walking down the street at night, listening to a Spotify playlist, and a classic started playing:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HsTJaP2tC0A
Now, this IS a classic, and a great song, but unfortunately (well, not really, no regrets) I've seen Shaun of the Dead about a hundred times, so all I could think of was:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_G9yIDG4oo
This happened again today while I was down at the pool - playing my music over bluetooth because I'll do literally anything to keep other people away from the pool while I'm using it:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JSUIQgEVDM4
Except... I think it's fair to say that if you've EVER seen Apocalypse Now, even once back in Film Studies 101 or whatever, you will not be able to mentally unlink The End from the opening scene of that film:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ntPHFVWDIqM
So... I got to thinking about how some songs become intrinsically linked to moments in film. What are some of your favourites?

This song basically made the movie in a lot of ways
But I can't really bring any poplar music from the movies to mind off the top of my head... Besides obvious ones like eye of the tiger.
Oh wait here's one
Another one that always does it for me is Tiny Dancer, from that big singing scene in Almost Famous.
Honestly, Con Air also has Sweet Home Alabama attached to it for me.
Strangely enough, the second most memorable film scene using this piece also belongs to the death of a man in a white suit and hat who shows attraction towards an underage individual: Koji Yakusho's pork sausage monologue near the end of Tampopo, though that's more of an ironic usage--perhaps it's all a reference to the Visconti film.
David Bowie's "Modern Love" will always remind me of Denis Lavant's non-sequitur running movement number in Mauvais Sang
There's of course another incredible Denis Lavant movement piece set to pop music, but the title is better left unsaid because of how surprising the scene is.
the definitive take on a classic
Extra points for picking the movie
Annd on the other side of film (quality-wise, at least)... as a kid I didn't realize that this was a cover, it was just "the song from the end of Ghostbusters 2":
Although the song doesn't come up quite as often as others, every once in a while I'll hear this song:
And I can't separate it mentally from:
Which was a pretty mind-blowing and important movie for high school Sandra
"Sandra has a good solid anti-murderer vibe. My skin felt very secure and sufficiently attached to my body when I met her. Also my organs." HAIL SATAN
I had, of course, first heard the song in a DBZ AMV.
And I guess slightly more on topic, an obvious one:
Ordinary World in Layer Cake:
Mirror in the Bathroom in Grosse Pointe Blank:
Tiny Dancer in Almost Famous:
Tequila:
Pretty sure that was UB40 and same here
Never saw the movie
Matilda!
For me, Hallelujah is now directly tied to Watchmen's
mmmmhmhm hah
climax.
My Sacrifice
{Twitter, Everybody's doing it. }{Writing and Story Blog}
Prefer the one in Shrek.
Summer in the City especially, to the point where I am waiting for the explosion if I hear it on the radio
Well maybe eat more protein, duder!
Hes one of my favorite scenes from any of his films
Sandlot also has a few, for me:
