Songs you associate with movies, not soundtracks

[Golden Steer]

What songs do you now associate with movies, that weren't part of the soundtrack?

For me, of course I link "Stuck in the Middle With You" with Reservoir Dogs.

Also "Sister Christian" with Boogie nights. Any others?

 

[RomaVicta]

Old Time Rock and Roll with Risky Business

Your Eyes with Say Anything

 

[MirrOlure]

"Layla" instrumental - Goodfellas

 

[general35]

You can't always get what you want...Rolling Stones...opening scene at funeral, the big chill.

"Gimme Shelter" with The Departed. Especially the opening guitar riff. I think it was the numerous ads (which had the riff) for the flick that burned this association into my mind. I don't recall what part of the film (if any) had that song.

 

[FAST FRED]

I don't understand how those already mentioned aren't part of the soundtrack?

Enlighten me, please.

For me, I'll mention:

"As Time Goes By" - "Casablanca."

"When You Wish Upon A Star" - "Pinnochio."

"Hi Ho, Hi Ho, It's Off To Work We Go" - "Snow White."

"Somewhere Over The Rainbow" - "The Wizard of Oz."

"Tiny Dancer" - "Almost Famous."

"Love Lift Us Up Where We Belong" - "An Officer and a Gentleman."

"Unchained Melody" - "Ghost."

"White Christmas" - "Holiday Inn."

"Let's Get It On" - "High Fidelity."

"Louie, Louie" & "Shout" - "Animal House."

"Where Is My Mind" - "Fight Club."

"Beth" & "Sweet Caroline" - "Beautiful Girls."

"Moving In Stereo" - "Fast Times At Ridgemont High."

"The End" - "Apocalypse Now."

"Bohemian Rhapsody" - "Wayne's World."

Sorry, if I've missed the point of this thread.

Every Kenny Loggins song, every random 80's movie.

RomaVicta, I was confused by the original title and post not your reply.

I thought your contribution was as valid as mine.

It's really fresh but I'll never hear that Flo Rida song, "Low" (Apple Bottom Jeans) without thinking of Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder.

 

[Bob Wills]

"Colonel Bogey March" - Breakfast Club, Bridge on the River Kwai

 

[halsteadfrost]

"Magic Man" - Swingers (specifically I think of sex about to happen when I hear the beginning)

 

[HatDaddy]

Axel F-Beverly Hills Cop

 

[TexonLongIsland]

[LITNIN HORN]

Technically not a movie but...

Dont Stop Believin' - Sopranos

 

[StregaHorn]

Black Betty by Ram Jam - Blow, that scene where Johnny Depp is all in white and walking through the airport

Sweet Emotion by Aerosmith - Dazed and Confused

 

[The Eyes of Texas]

The Journey song (don't know the title) in Vision Quest.

 

[Back to Texas]

"This must be the place (Naive Melody) - Talking Heads from Wallstreet.

 

[Napoleon]

I agree with most of the songs listed above. But when I first read the title, this song popped into my head:

"Melt With You"- Valley Girl


The Link

Though it was played at the end of the movie going into the closing credits, it's used here starting about 2:45 into the video and then it stops ~2 minutes later, before picking up again nearly where it did in the movie at ~6:15 into the video.

 

[Crockett]

Another great one from the Big Chill -- Heard it through the Grapevine.

 

[Tank]

Adagio for Strings - Platoon





Samuel Barber - Adagio for Strings, op.11

 

[Longhorny630]

Everybodys Talking - Midnight Cowboy
Eye of the Tiger - Rocky 3, it kind of qualifies since it wasn't the actual theme song
Also Sprach Zarathustra and Space Oddity - 2001: A Space Odyssey
I Got You Babe - Groundhog Day

and of course

Green Onions by Booker T and the MG's featured in, The Sandlot

 

[Joe Fan]

Patton and the aggy band theme song

 

[TexasRx]

Two that come immediately to mind for me are Family Affair by Sly & the Family Stone and She Sells Sanctuary by The Cult from the movie Singles. The soundtrack from Singles is still one of my all-time favorites.
