Songs you always associate with a film/show.


We all know music is integral to film and television. Also sound is linked to bringing up memories. So there are those songs that are used in such a way in a scene, that always make me think of the movie/show whenever I listen to them.

The most obvious maybe is Stuck In The Middle With You by Stealers Wheel (Reservoir Dogs). With a scene like that how can I not link it with the movie, I mean...

CeCe Peniston - Finally (The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert). I fucking love this movie! I also love the scene it was used in: the costumes, the choreography, the faces! everything about it is just great. Also, Terence Stamp can't dance for shit, and that makes it ever greater in my view.

Stevie Wonder - Superstition (The Thing). Starts funny, turns scary. Also, foreshadowing and such. Only song in The Thing and aptly used.

Sailing - Rod Stewart (Men Behaving Badly). Because that scene is hilarious, and the fact they are rowing makes it even better.

Probably others as well that I can't think of right now.

What songs *you* MovieChat people always associate with movies/shows? Or am I just weird?
