List some songs that relate to a movie, but do not appear on the soundtrack.
For example
song: Yellowcard - How I Go
movie: Big Fish (2003)
song: Blink 182 - A New Hope
movie: Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope (1977). Duh.
White Zombie - Thunder Kiss 65
Relates to Faster Pussycat Kill, Kill (1965)
You can hear samples of Tura Santana from the film in the song.

There was a metal band named 'Tura Satana' too.
shareWhite Heat - Madonna
I've Madonna to thank for getting me into James Cagney movies with White Heat, brilliant song and brilliant movie!
Wuthering Heights - Kate Bush
A teenage Kate Bush caught the end of the Timothy Dalton version on TV, which inspired her to write the song, before even reading the book!
The 1960 instrumental ‘Apache’ by Jerry Lordan was inspired by the 1954 Western movie ‘Apache’ starring Burt Lancaster.
The movie it's self was based on the novel ‘Bronco Apache’ by Paul Wellman.
So I guess Paul Wellman is responsible for sowing the seeds of Hip Hop’s national anthem ‘Apache’ by the Incredible Bongo Band.
The main vocal hook in the 1999 song ‘Right here right now’ by Fatboy Slim was sampled from the movie ‘Strange Days’ when Angela Bassett says
“This is your life, right here right now”.
Here, check it out :)
