Hey trash lovers.
As fun as it is to revel in the badness of the movie itself, the soundtrack can be just as bad, enhancing the film's enjoyment. What songs from the films do recall? If you don't know the name of the song (and who could blame you if you didn't) just say the movie's name, and maybe describe what the song's like (disco, pop, rock, etc.) and, if possible, put the lyrics up.
I'll start off:
"The ballad of Harry Warden" in My Bloody Valentine that runs during the end credits puts a smile on my face.. so cheesy. The mood of the song kinda scared me as a boy (not to mention the movie itself), and though most of us bad movie lovers wouldn't be terrified of that movie nowadays, we can at least appreciate the cheese factor.

This song is ..just great. So great.
"Super Snooper" from Super Fuzz is good too. It's actually pretty catchy!
The band Stoneground from DRACULA AD 1972-

From the movie Three on a Meat Hook (1972)... :)
If anyone remembers that cheesy John Stamos/Gene Simmons action masterpiece - NEVER TOO YOUNG TO DIE, the end credits song of the same title name is a must. :thumbup: :bouncegiggle:

I don't think many can top that...
Bless the Beasts and Children (1971). This was not a bad film (not a great film either, but decent). The weird thing about it is that the soundtrack contains the music that would later become the theme music to The Young and the Restless. The soap opera was not even around at the time the film was made in 1971. Still, if you try watching this film you can't escape the music being burned into your brain as soap opera music. It makes it very difficult to take what is a serious drama seriously.
Here's that Ballad Of Harry Warden song from My Bloody Valentine:

This song has actually been stuck in my head since I heard it yesterday. I always hear the weirdest old songs at the hardware store, stuff I didn't think anyone had played in thirty years or so.

Neil Sedaka's 'Jellyfish Song' from STING OF DEATH:

This is a good movie, but the song is pretty cheesy just the same.

Are you talking about
bad or
cheesy? To me those are two very different things.

Well, I guess it depends on the scale of cheese, at least for me. If it's off the scale it might be worth hearing maybe only once. If it's only "pretty" cheesy, I might try to find a clip of the song. :)
I'm at work so I can't insert YouTube clips, so I'll just have to put in some non-visuals:
"The South's Gonna Rise Again" from 2000 Maniacs.
"A Critical Madness" from Truth Or Dare: A Critical Madness.
"Repossessed" from the film Repossessed.
Those are all pretty awful.. good for a laugh now and then though.
I didn't go back and look but I'd be disappointed if this wasn't mentioned yet...

Early example of cheese: 'Turn on the Heat' from SUNNYSIDE UP (1929)

Be sure to catch the 'Banana Shimmy' at 5:10. It'll certainly ripen your banana.
