I just bought DARK STAR for $6.99 at Media play. And while i was waffling on my choice of flick, my choice was made when i remembered.....the theme song. "Benson, Arizona." I like that song. What theme songs do you guys like to singalong with, when you watch movies? There arn't that many, realy....do you make up lyrics for them what don't have words? That can be fun....hehe....apply the lyrics of "Gilligans Island" to any flick involving shipwrecks, just adapt it to the tune. Coulden't be hard for Vermin Boy.....hummm....."She caught the caddy." from the Blues Brothers.....what have i missed out on?
I wish somebody would post an audio file of Lalo Schifrin`s riveting opening music to "the manitou"
I love the theme to Psycho in Texas....
"Yesterday was a long time ago, yesterday you were a man..."
Hehe, thanks, Flange... Hmmm... How to hammer those lyrics into "My Heart Will Go On"...?
Anyway, here are some of my fave b-themes...
"Killer Klowns From Outer Space" - The Dickies
"The Green Slime" - Richard Delvy
"Spider Baby" - Lon Chaney, Jr.
That completely non-sequitur song from the end credits of "Flesh-Eating Mothers" with the wispy female voice singing about classic monsters
"You Is A Rat Pfink" by Ron Haydock (from "Rat Pfink A Boo Boo")
That song from the beginning of "Head" where the Monkees basically sing about the fact that they're prefabricated
Radioactive Dreams always gets my feet tapping and who can forget the
Cane Toad Blues?Also made myself a CD quality wav of "Where There's a Whip There's a Way" from "Return of the King." The only reason to watch that movie in my opinion; I hate it otherwise.

I personally like the themes to Attack of the Killer Tomatoes and Orgazmo. "Now your a man, a man man man man man."
I seem to be the only person who likes the end theme to "Bad Taste". That song ROCKS!
We gotta something, da da da,
we got the power to decieve,
bu bu bu bu, bla bla blaaa
ya leave a Bad Taste in my mouth.
Anyone know the words?
"When a man is prepared to die,
It hurts us more to see him die,
Than it does him to do it,"
-Crispin Hellion Glover, "Oak Mot"
The theme from "The Blob" can not be beat. Trust me.
Damn, how did I forget that one? Not only is it among the greatest b-movie themes of all time, it's among the greatest SONGS of all time (and I'm only half kidding).
It was a top forty hit at one point, as I recall. (Don't know how high it got.)
Of course The Blob had a great theme... but I also like another one.
THE GLOOOOOOOOOOOOVE!!!!
Have you seen The Glove, Andrew? Great stuff, the song is. Not very good movie, though.

I have seen it; I even own the monstrosity. Mental defense mechanisms usually keep me from remembering much of the film and that is a good thing. Even after voluntarily concentrating and breaking the block the theme song doesn't jump out at me.

"Joe's Apartment'! So many great tunes in that one..."Funk-y Tow-el, towel's got the funk...."
I kinda like the theme song of White Man Can't Jump.
I cought the Squirm for the first time in ages last night and thats got a great soundtrack, it sounds like someone on a bad acid trip's trying to play a glocenspi..glokensp..glo.. a Xylophone.
The whole soundtrack to "Head" is kind of fun. That song is called "Ditty Diego-War Chant" of all things. And the words were written by producers Bob Rafelson and Jack Nicholson (!) .
I've always been partial to The Hollies and Peter Sellers singing the tile song to "After The Fox". So silly and so catchy it'll drive you mad. I want to find an MP3 of it somewhere.
