Samples from: Star Trek (the Original Series)
What's On Your Mind (Pure Energy) - Information Society

I thought I had seen every original Star Trek episode, but they were long before this band arrived on the scene. Maybe I'm misunderstanding the theme of the thread?

Samples: Apocalypse Now, George W. Bush speech(es)
N.W.O. - Ministry

Not about any particular episode of any series or movies. Movie that strictly lifts dialogue from such media and uses them in the music itself.

From Citizen Cane

The White Stripes *The Union Forever*



"While some songs make subtle references to their cinematic inspirations, others are much more straightforward. The White Stripes' song "The Union Forever" is directly connected to "the greatest movie ever made," Citizen Kane. First and foremost, the title of the song is a reference to the moment when Charley is playing in the snow and shouts "Union Forever" just as his parents are cutting ties with him. Furthermore, a great many of the songs lyrics are quotes from Citizen Kane. Overall, The White Stripes wrote the song simply because of lead singer Jack White's love of the film."
