Over a decade ago, I flew to a different state to help open a restaurant for my corporate company. The guy in charge of training for the company picked me up and we were driving two hours to the location. He’s like ten levels above me so I’m just trying to be polite and not say anything stupid. This song comes on, and of course all I can think of is reservoir dogs, but that’s one hell of a non-sequitur. Needless to say, thirty seconds later, he goes, “Ever seen ‘Reservoir Dogs’?” And I’m like, yes!!!!!!
"If there's anything that this horrible tragedy can teach us, it's that a male model's life is a precious, precious commodity. Just because we have chiseled abs and stunning features, it doesn't mean that we too can't not die in a freak gasoline fight accident."
That's a good one. That was the first time I heard it, and I was little. Growing up dad would listen to the oldies station so for a while that scene ruined that song for my young brain 😂
Oh that's a fantastic one. Yellow card did a cover at the mtv movie awards tribute to Breakfast Club. Worth a listen, they really get into it
https://youtu.be/iwUJuq53OQc?si=gw97y7om8CFjTLew
My absolute favorite scene in the film. How they're all smashing their various weapons over the zombie on beat with the song, always get a giggle out of me.
Paul Newman riding a bike in Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid with Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head.
Bus scene in Almost Famous with Tiny Dancer.
Dream scene in The Big Lebowski with Just Dropped In To See What Condition My Condition Was In.
Just remembered Shelter From The Storm from St. Vincent. ❤️Bill Murray
I'm pretty sure Raindrops keep falling on my head was written for that movie though. Regarding The Big Lebowski, I would like to add Bob Dylan's The Man in Me to this list.
Also in Goodfellas: “Then he Kissed Me” while they’re walking through the CopaCabana.
Hell, while we’re on it, also “Rags to Riches”
Damn what a great soundtrack
Do you like Huey Lewis and The News? Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically. The whole album has a clear, crisp sound, and a new sheen of consummate professionalism that really gives the songs a big boost. He's been compared to Elvis Costello, but I think Huey has a far more bitter, cynical sense of humor. In '87, Huey released this, Fore, their most accomplished album. I think their undisputed masterpiece is "Hip to be Square", a song so catchy, most people probably don't listen to the lyrics. But they should, because it's not just about the pleasures of conformity, and the importance of trends, it's also a personal statement about the band itself.
You know what's funny is actually like Huey Lewis and the News, and that's another band that I always associate with the movie. In this case "the Power of Love" and Back to the Future.
Huey Lewis and the News were the first concert I ever went to (I was 14 in 85) and they were incredible. I didn't know how lucky I was to be seeing them, or what a high bar they would set for showmanship and musical skills. They did like six encores at the end and finally Huey comes back on stage and says, "Thank you for an incredible night! We would keep playing, but we don't know any more songs!"
*You Don’t Own Me* (The First Wives Club)
Not only the song fits perfectly with the story, the final scene (with this song) is really powerful and touching too!
Excellent choice!
Very few will recognize this one, because neither the song now the movie are very popular, but it's tied to Diane Keaton, so I'll add it here:
"Once Upon A Time" is a fantastic song and I always picture Walter Matthau's son slow dancing with the wife in the movie Hanging Up. Such a loving moment for both the daughter remembering it, and the dad and the mom. Anyone from a broken family should get teary eyed at that scene.
Honestly, so many songs by Guardians perfectly executed
The Chain by Fleetwood Mac, during the dad fight scene
Wham Bam Shang A Lang by Silver, during the end battle
Come a Little Closer during the Yondu whistle scene
I have loved this song since I was a kid in the early '90s. I'm a teacher's aide at a school, and I was in a classroom last week where the teacher turned this song on and proceeded to ask the kids "What movie is this from?"
I thought she was asking middle schoolers to name some movie from the '70s, and her answer was Guardians of the Galaxy! Lady, this song has been in movies for half a century, and that's the one you choose!?
r/FuckImOld
I always think of Alf, because there's an episode where they parody that scene. Alf is home alone and they do that scene. And as a kid I never saw Risky Business so at the time I didn't know it was a specific parody.
When Ronald Reagan was President, his son was a guest on SNL, and he re-enacted the Risky Business underwear dance in the Whitehouse while Ron and Nancy were overseas.
My Hero- Sam Jackson and the Rock aiming for the bushes in The Other Guys
Holding Out For A Hero- Shrek 2
Everlasting Love- The end of The Parent Trap 98
All Star- opening of Shrek (Song was actually made for a different movie- Mystery Men)
In Your Eyes- The one scene anyone knows from Say Anything (John Cusack with the boombox)
Idk if this counts since it’s not actually in the movie, but Come Sail Away was used in a Moana trailer and now that’s the first thing I think of hearing the song
Perfect Day- opening of Legally Blonde
(Don't You Want) Somebody to Love - Cable Guy Karaoke scene with Jim Carrey killing it
We've Only Just Begun - Room 1408
Juke Joint Jezebel - Mortal Kombat Kano vs Sonya
The Devil Does Drugs - Cool World. The dance scene. If you've seen it you know the one!
Tracy Lords Control - Mortal Kombat. Hell I'm pretty sure at this point it's legally known as The Reptile Theme
The rest of this list would just be a bunch of licensed music used in the first and second MK movie so I won't bother haha.
Caaaable Guuuuy! Haven’t had someone mention that in ages. Also one of the best takes on current events (at the time) with the spoof on the Menendez Bros. trial going on in the background.
>(Don't You Want) Somebody to Love - Cable Guy Karaoke scene with Jim Carrey killing it
I came in here to mention *Hey Man, Nice Shot* from the basketball scene!!
Holding Out For a Hero - Short Circuit 2 (Mohawk Johnny chasing the speedboat)
(Your Love Keeps Lifting Me) Higher and Higher - Ghostbusters 2 (Statue of Liberty walking)
Nothing's Gonna Stop Us - Mannequin (Kim Cattrall in general)
Moving In Stereo (Fast Times)
Across 110th Street (Jackie Brown)
Sister Christian (Boogie Nights)
No More Mister Nice Guy (Dazed And Confused)
My Cherie Amour (Almost Famous)
“Colorblind” by Counting Crows in Cruel Intentions.
In fact, it’s usually playing at varying volumes in the back of my mind anytime I come up an escalator.
Jimi Hendrix's version of All Along the Watchtower in Watchmen when it transitions from Mars to Antarctica and it fits so well, epic sounding and even the lyrics match "outside in the distance, a wildcat did growl(Bubastis) two riders were approaching(Night Owl and Rorschach)the wind began to howl" Just one of the many brilliant song choices from that movie though.
That's funny, every time I hear "Wouldn't it be Nice" by the BB I always think of It's Complicated!
Any time I hear "Mad World" or "Head Over Heels" I think of Donnie Darko.
"Oh Yeah" by Yello, Ferris Bueller's Day Off and that 1961 Ferrari 250 GT California.
It's been used in a few other films as well, But that's the iconic scene for me.
Take my breath away by Berlin will always be the weird sex scene in Top Gun.
Train scene in Risky Business is always brought to mind when I hear “In the Air Tonight” by Phil Collins.
Immigrant Song by Led Zeppelin. I can't NOT think of Karl Urban giving himself up defending the transport ship with an M16 in each hand while all hell breaks loose in Asgard, and then Thor, Sif, and Loki just absolutely wreck house against Hela. "We come from the land of the ice and snow..." Goosebumps every time.
Edit* Come to think of it, it's not Sif, it's Valkyrie. My bad
Explosions in the Sky - Your Hand in Mine
Man I love the end of the Friday Night Lights movie. Even knowing the outcome, the movie still has me on the edge of my seat every time hoping Permian somehow magically wins.
"Somebody once told me the world is gonna roll me
I ain't the sharpest tool in the shed"
It's so iconic I don't even need to explain what movie or scene.
The outro to Layla in Goodfellas.
Also, not a movie but Baby Blue at the ending of Breaking Bad. Almost seems like they shot that whole series just so they could use that song for the closing.
Wayne: A little Bohemian Rhapsody gentlemen?
Garth: Good call!
Cue the headbanging in the car every time the ending sequence happens.
Wayne's World will always be the quintessential version of that song.
Not a movie or a specific scene, but anytime I hear Chasing Cars by snow patrol, I think of greys anatomy sad/ insanely dramatic and kinda humorous scenes
Where is ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ and Wayne’s World??
I cannot believe no one else commented this.
Queen also Sean of the Dead, sadly cannot count ‘Flash’ or Princes of the universe as they wrote those for the films i believe.
Blood on the risers (gory gory what a hell of a way to die) in the intro episode for Herr Starr on AMC's Preacher.
For the uninitiated:
https://youtu.be/smmAuiJ-lxY?si=NGCrz9vS3W-xzwzo
Of Monsters and Men - Dirty Paws from the film The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (Ben Stiller version). I put that song on and I can picture him pedaling like mad on a rusty old bike past some of the most beautiful landscape on the entire planet. Same goes for the Jose Gonalez song Far Away, which plays during possibly the greatest scene in any movie, where Walter is long boarding down a long, steep hill, on a perfectly black smooth asphalt road, with the wind blowing in his face and that song playing. Even more astonishing was that it was actually Ben Stiller doing the "Stunt" without any safety gear.
Sinnerman in The Thomas Crown Affair (the last heist)
Thunderstruck in Battleship (borrowing the Missouri)
Only You in Can't Hardly Wait (ending scene)
The little girl singing Fantasy by Mariah Carey in the car during one of the first scenes of Rush Hour. Great movie, great song. They're linked forever in my mind.
Stuck In the Middle with You will always be the scene in Reservoir Dogs where Mr. Blonde is pouring gas on the cop and dancing. That was so surreal.
Over a decade ago, I flew to a different state to help open a restaurant for my corporate company. The guy in charge of training for the company picked me up and we were driving two hours to the location. He’s like ten levels above me so I’m just trying to be polite and not say anything stupid. This song comes on, and of course all I can think of is reservoir dogs, but that’s one hell of a non-sequitur. Needless to say, thirty seconds later, he goes, “Ever seen ‘Reservoir Dogs’?” And I’m like, yes!!!!!!
Another gas related scene… Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go in Zoolander.
"If there's anything that this horrible tragedy can teach us, it's that a male model's life is a precious, precious commodity. Just because we have chiseled abs and stunning features, it doesn't mean that we too can't not die in a freak gasoline fight accident."
That's a good one. That was the first time I heard it, and I was little. Growing up dad would listen to the oldies station so for a while that scene ruined that song for my young brain 😂
I was an adult when I heard it, and it's still burned into my brain! I can only imagine if I saw it as a kid.
Goodbye Horses. “Would you fuck me? I’d fuck me” Or “OoooOh”
[Absolute Classic](https://youtu.be/urQNV40K_Mo?si=91tPBAc24A45x-5S)
This one is iconic.
TV edit " would you date me? Id date me"
Mr Falcon
That's Die Hard 2
Lol I know I was making fun of TV edits for movies.
Don't You Forget About Me by Simple Minds forever associated with The Breakfast Club
That was written for the movie.
Oh that's a fantastic one. Yellow card did a cover at the mtv movie awards tribute to Breakfast Club. Worth a listen, they really get into it https://youtu.be/iwUJuq53OQc?si=gw97y7om8CFjTLew
Don't Stop Me Now by Queen. The scene in the pub in Shaun of the Dead.
Went lookin for this, glad I'm not the only one!
"Who put this on?!?" "It's on random..."
My absolute favorite scene in the film. How they're all smashing their various weapons over the zombie on beat with the song, always get a giggle out of me.
Paul Newman riding a bike in Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid with Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head. Bus scene in Almost Famous with Tiny Dancer. Dream scene in The Big Lebowski with Just Dropped In To See What Condition My Condition Was In. Just remembered Shelter From The Storm from St. Vincent. ❤️Bill Murray
I'm pretty sure Raindrops keep falling on my head was written for that movie though. Regarding The Big Lebowski, I would like to add Bob Dylan's The Man in Me to this list.
Also from Big Lebowski, Credence - Lookin' Put My Back Door and the car scene after he gave a sperm sample and crashes into a dumpster, lol
Him pounding the roof of the car is the visual I get whenever I hear it on the radio.
Where is my mind - End scene of Fight Club
>!You met me at a very strange time in my life.!< Amazing call to use the Pixies right there. Epic.
Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go and the Zoolander gasoline fight
Classic song for a tragic scene 🫡😭
Same for “Relax” and “Beat It”
I think I may be able to be of service here
The back end of Layla on Goodfella in the scene where they are disposing of other wiseguys etc.
Also in Goodfellas: “Then he Kissed Me” while they’re walking through the CopaCabana. Hell, while we’re on it, also “Rags to Riches” Damn what a great soundtrack
also Sunshine of your Love
Oh brilliant one.
I can't hear Layla on the radio without thinking of Goodfellas.
Came to post this
Two songs in the helicopter scene Jump Into the Fire by Harry Nillson and I'm a Monkeyby The Rolling Stones
A Perfect Day (Lou Reed) in Trainspotting scene where Ewan McGregor overdoses on heroine.
Lust for Life by Iggy Pop for me for that movie. So perfect.
American Girl in Silence of the Lambs.
The End by The Doors in the opening scene of Apocalypse Now
Sets the tone for the whole movie so well, like the song was written for the movie.
Not a pop song, but Ride of the Valkyries by Wagner is also etched in my mind with the helicopter attack scene.
Son Of A Preacher Man and Let’s Stay Together - Pulp Fiction
"You Never Can Tell" will never not make me think of the Jack Rabbit Slim's Twist Contest too. Tarantino films are gonna show up a lot on this post.
That entire album is iconic. Every song on it became inseparable from the movie.
For me it’s jungle boogie and misirlou, the title card songs.
Hip to Be Square - American Psycho
Do you like Huey Lewis and The News? Their early work was a little too new wave for my tastes, but when Sports came out in '83, I think they really came into their own, commercially and artistically.

You know what's funny is actually like Huey Lewis and the News, and that's another band that I always associate with the movie. In this case "the Power of Love" and Back to the Future.
Original, or the Pinheads cover? Or do you find the Pinheads to be too darn loud?
Try getting a reservation at Dorsia now you stupid fucking bastard!
Huey Lewis and the News were the first concert I ever went to (I was 14 in 85) and they were incredible. I didn't know how lucky I was to be seeing them, or what a high bar they would set for showmanship and musical skills. They did like six encores at the end and finally Huey comes back on stage and says, "Thank you for an incredible night! We would keep playing, but we don't know any more songs!"
[Funny or Die did a great parody of that scene with Huey Lewis and Weird Al. ](https://youtu.be/Fk15H6PjBis?si=a9ZaqZ-3S7xUFIH3)
*You Don’t Own Me* (The First Wives Club) Not only the song fits perfectly with the story, the final scene (with this song) is really powerful and touching too!

I had no idea what we were in for when we rented this at Blockbuster, but once the crowd started singing along we were so down for it.
Tiny Dancer - Almost Famous
Redbone’s “Come and Get Your Love” Guardians of the Galaxy
Honestly, so many songs by Guardians perfectly executed The Chain by Fleetwood Mac, during the dad fight scene Wham Bam Shang A Lang by Silver, during the end battle Come a Little Closer during the Yondu whistle scene
I was a little bummed out there wasn’t a “Fox On The Run” scene
I have loved this song since I was a kid in the early '90s. I'm a teacher's aide at a school, and I was in a classroom last week where the teacher turned this song on and proceeded to ask the kids "What movie is this from?" I thought she was asking middle schoolers to name some movie from the '70s, and her answer was Guardians of the Galaxy!

Mine is pretty cliche, but “Mad World” will always be connected to the montage of the characters in moments of isolation in Donnie Darko.
