My friend and I used to sing the Friends theme song all the time. I don't particularly like it, but I know it by heart.

Fine Young Cannibals from movie Doomsday.

I'm sure that a huge part of the reason I dig this song as much as I do is because of Lauren Hill's "Ready Or Not", where I essentially fell in love with the sample before realizing it was that cool track from the end of that shitty Stephen King flick, but it's still one of the first things that comes to mind when I think of good music from movies.



Not sure if this song was popular outside of the US prior to Layer Cake, but based on virtually everyone I've ever spoken to who knows this song, online or off, I'd personally call it movie music.



The show has gone way downhill since bypassing the book series, and the decline had already begun by the time this song happened, but damn I love this melody.

One of the few Madonna songs i like, from the movie With Honors.

 

[westwall]

This is the original (I saw him live when I was a younger man) Los Lobos did an excellent cover for the film.

 

[TomParks]

Oh, Madonna, I like a few of her movie songs.

Oh yeah! I remember those songs too. I think I've probably seen just about every dancing movie from the 80s!

[Damaged Eagle]

*****SMILE*****

 

[BULLDOG]

 

[westwall]

And of course, this masterpiece...

 

[BULLDOG]

A good song, but it is no more a masterpiece than Bolero.

Threads like this always make me remember movies I have pretty much forgotten about. While you may forget a lot about the movie, you never forget the songs.
