Movies and signature songs

[Mofo Rising]

I was interested in seeing a list of movies and their signature songs.  You know, movies that have a song that is associated with them.  Or songs that when you hear them you automatically think of the one movie that is associated with them.

The primary example I can think of at this moment is horrible, but is should serve as an example.  TITANIC and that godawful Celine Dion song.  When you think of one, you think of the other.

Or say APOCALYPSE NOW and Ride of the Valkyries.  (Although I think of "kill the wabbit" when I hear Ride of the Valkyries.)

I think you can figure out what I'm getting at even though my examples suck.  I had an interesting idea and couldn't follow through.  Although I'm sure all you message boardians can come up with something.  Preferably "bad movie" related.

Have at it!

 I liked the song by Celine Dion " My Heart Will Go On".   This song got me through a very ruff time in my life.  This song came out when I lost my first child and seven months later I lost my second child.  


The only thing I liked about "Titanic" is it show How the ship went down.  I have always been interested in the "Titanic" and its history.  

Bad part of  "Titanic" was the story line between  Leonardo Di Caprio and Kate Winslet.

Uhmmm... Let me think...

1) "Johnny B. Good" ----> Back to the future.

2) The Door's "The End" ----> Apocalypse Now

3) "Moonriver" ----> Breakfast at Tiffany's

Not B Movies, though.

Ghost: Unchained Melody (Time...goes byyy...so slooowly..)
Ghostbusters: Do I REALLY have to say it?
Men in Black: See "Ghostbusters"
Beetlejuice: Not really a song per se, but  the main theme by Danny Elfman ROCKS.
Jurassic Park: See "Beetlejuice", replace Danny Elfman  with John Williams.

"Good Enough" by Cyndi Lauper = "The Goonies."

The DVD even has the weird MTV music video.  Rowdy Roddy Piper!  The Sheik!  And, at the end, Andre the Giant stomping around!  It is like a weird 80's hallucination.

Here are a couple from off the top of my head. "Blue Velvet" for "Blue Velvet" and "The Dampton Worm Song" for "Lair of the White Worm." I'll have some more for later. Enjoy!

Reservoir Dogs/"Stuck in the Middle With You"
Pulp Fiction/"Misirlou"
Blue Velvet/"Blue Velvet" or "In Dreams"
The Blob/"The Blob"
2001/"Also Sprach Zarathustra" and "Blue Danube Waltz"

Less on-topic, but if you want to hear an actually pretty good version of that Celine Dion song, check out Los Straitjackets' Ventures-style instrumental version.

The BBC miniseries The Singing Detective has a ton of songs in it that I'll never be able to here again without thinking of the series.

King Frat --->  "King Frat"
Awful little diddly that goes "King frat king ....... fraaaaaaaaaat" and so on and so forth. Very bad. Very Annoying.

I agree with "Oh Yeah" as reminding me of Ferris Beuller

Killer Klowns From Outer Space: "Killer Klownz From Outer Space" - The Dickies
Classic song from a classic band.
