Title: Songs named after Movies... Post by: zombie no.one on January 23, 2009, 10:58:29 PM I just heard a new track today by DJ Evol called 'Texas Chainsaw'. made me think how many other tunes named after films there are.
Deep Blue something - 'Breakfast At Tiffanys' is one.. (obviously they don't have to be good songs :smile:) Title: Re: Songs named after Movies... Post by: Jack on January 24, 2009, 07:44:09 AM Wuthering Heights by Pat Benatar. Awesome, awesome tune.

I know it's a company not a film but it's close... http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=nyx4akq9_rA Title: Re: Songs named after Movies... Post by: HappyGilmore on January 24, 2009, 09:50:49 AM "Mars Attacks" by The Misfits
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xY5Vo_gYqjk Granted, it was a card series prior, but I believe they wrote it after the movie came out. Hell, a majority, if not all, of the Misfits songs are named after movies. Title: Re: Songs named after Movies...

Post by: zombie no.one on January 24, 2009, 03:55:21 PM Primal Scream did an album called 'Vanishing Point' after the film, but the title track - where they say "vanishing point" a lot in the chorus - is actually called 'Kowalski' after the main character. so it kind of counts...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ExwHcgPRu-4 Though I'm not 100% sure if its about the movie. Title: Re: Songs named after Movies... Post by: HappyGilmore on January 25, 2009, 10:02:40 AM I'm guessing Rob Zombie's "House of 1,000 Corpses" song doesn't count? I mean, it was written specifically for the movie he wrote and directed. But it is a song named after a movie. I dunno.

I dunno. yeah I didn't exactly mean songs written specifically for movies they're about. but this is only bit of fun, they can all count really... Iron Maiden- 'Aces High' http://youtube.com/watch?v=4Sam5omG0v0 (not sure if its inspired by the movie called Aces High or not) Title: Re: Songs named after Movies... Post by: zombie no.one on January 28, 2009, 02:14:07 PM DJ Sappo - 'Dawn Of The Dead'
http://youtube.com/watch?v=YWq9ESv0TUI also here is a tune not named after a film, but which samples quite a bit of dialogue from 'Jaws', to the point where someone has made a video for it on youtube matching up various scenes from the film with the appropriate bits of the track... it's really good IMO people should check it out: DJ Excel - 'Just When you Thought It Was Safe' http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=WYIkM_R3A9I incase the preview doesnt show up heres the link: http://youtube.com/watch?v=WYIkM_R3A9I Title: Re: Songs named after Movies...
