Songs And Movies That Are Forever Intertwined

Yep. The extreme.

For example, if you've seen the movie, how can you NOT think of Reservoir Dogs when you hear "Stuck In The Middle With You"? I bet many of you do the little dance (I know I do).

My other top ones:

Rolling Stones "Gimme Shelter" in "Goodfellas" (although that soundtrack is very tough to beat, in relation to the scenes the other songs are in)

Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick & Tich "Hold Tight" in "Death Proof."

What say you? You hear a certain song, what movie do you think of?

That really is a close top three for me. It's perfect for the scene(s).

Get. Out. Of. My. Head.

I was just explaining this to a friend during a pool game yesterday. (For me the movie ruined the song because I cannot watch that scene -- it's too intimate and believable and upsetting.)

My example is actually a commercial: some stupid airline (maybe United?) played "An American in Paris"* under their commercials and they became so iconic I know always think of them when I hear that segment. Very effective advertising but cultural rape.


* As corrected by PM, the raped song was "Rhapsody in Blue."

Speaking of Reservoir Dogs, I also think "Little Green Bag."

Other top ones:

Pulp Fiction and "Misirilou"

Midnight Cowboy and "Everybody's Talkin"

Top Gun and "Danger Zone"

Saturday Night Fever and "Stayin' Alive"

Re: Songs And Movies That Are Forever Intertwined

White Christmas from White Christmas....no but seriously. This one is a little more obscure but I always associate the two, Madonna's Crazy for You and the Matthew Modine movie Vision Quest.
 
Re: Songs And Movies That Are Forever Intertwined

"Total Eclipse of the Heart"....Old School
"Sweet Emotion"....Dazed and Confused
"Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In)"....The Big Lebowski
 
Re: Songs And Movies That Are Forever Intertwined

Agreed on Sweet Emotion. That opening riff.....
 
Re: Songs And Movies That Are Forever Intertwined

"Lust For Life" and Trainspotting
"In The City" and The Warriors
"The Blue Danube" and Ferris Bueller's Day Off (yes, really, this and not 2001)
