Songs made for movies.

I don't know if it was actually created for the movie or not, but it's one that I enjoy - Brain Powered from Summer School. They only play a snippet of it in the movie though. I'd seen the movie a long time ago and had practically forgotten about it until I was having a conversation with a friend of a friend at a con I was attending. He was really into making fandub parodies and music videos of animes, and told me that one of these days he was going to get ahold of a copy of that song Brain Powered and have a music video for it featuring the anime of what else? Brain Power'd!

I'd say that the theme song from Black Belt Jones is the perfect movie theme, hands down.  Dennis Coffey's instrumental disco/funk soundtrack is the ideal mix for any blaxploitation kung fu movie, especially one starring Jim Kelly.

I swear on my mothers knee caps, this isn't a contentious quibble. But, the song "Cuban Pete" wasn't  written for The Mask. It's an old Desi Arnaz song, which he performed in the movie......Cuban Pete. Now, why do I feel like a pedantic ass?

I'm not sure if this song was written expressly for the movie, but "One Tin Soldier"
from Billy Jack....a hippy song that makes you want to hammer-punch a redneck in the throat...fanFREAKIN'tastic!!!
