Can you think of an overused song? Be sure to let us know in the comments below! And check out our featured song: "New Era" by Smoking Mirrors! ruclips.net/video/_ZRu_FBZx0c/видео.html
I feel good should be number one. It was used dozens of times, especially in the 80s and 90s. Maybe they pulled back on it recently, but it's got to be the most used song (that isn't public domain) in movies.
Yeah, I agree... Back In Black is a just a staple of Action Movies, And many on this list I would say I dont care - They just WORK!!! Others, Yeah - They do need to retire... Walking on Sunshine is so over used and Lenord Cohen says it all about Hallejuah (Though it was being in movies that got me into his work!)
I feel like "Eye of the Tiger" really belongs on this list, honestly, should be number one. I hear it in like, every other movie and show whenever there's a montage, or just a really action-heavy scene. It's used way more than Mr. Blue Sky, which I can recall only a small handful of movies and shows using.
It’s an amazing song tho I see no problem with it. It also fits if it’s a training montage/action scene. I’ve only heard it in 2 movies tho and that’s Rocky and Kicking and screaming.
Or when a tejano band with a clean wholesome image takes a chance on a metal guitar guy and he wrecks a hotel room.... Then marries the singer shortly before her tragic death.
"The look of love" by Dusty Springfield: A girl appears and shakes her hair in slow motion while a guy stares at her speechless. "Gimme some Lovin" by Spencer Davies group. A guy runs into an airport to grab his fiancee and tell her he loves her and not to get on the plane. "l'hymne à l'amour" "Je ne regrette rien "or other songs by Edith Piaf. In any American film that wants to emphasize that the scene takes place in France. "Pretty woman" by Roy Orbison. Whenever a movie or series wants to parody the scene where Julia Roberts goes shopping. "I feel good" by James Brown. When we want to emphasize that a character is...feeling good.
Really good job explaining the uses of these songs, not just going through it. One of the more impressive Top 20's . And yeah, it's okay to like the featured songs anyway--doesn't mean they're not overused. So maybe the criticism in this video is overly harsh, but at least it's smart.
"Let's Get It On" was used in the King of Queens when Deacon and Doug went on vacation with their wives and they played it 12,679 times for every time Deacon and his wife got busy! Hilarious episode.
Watching SNF as an adult - is a radically different experience. It’s no “disco romp.” Saturday night Fever is an incredibly dark film (watching it as an adult was just crushing - horrible things happen to innocent characters - including the brutal SA of a neighborhood girl who trusts the guys as her friends and the vicious betrayal is devastating, has a sad unrequited “love story,” random racially-motivated hate and violence, constant belittling, terrible physical abuse and domestic violence at home, profound mental health issues, etc). There are *many* very dark events, and it’s basically implied that Travolta will *never* escape his working class roots (the “sequel” is completely worthless so I’m not even mentioning it). The same is the case of “Staying Alive” - the lyrics are brutal and reflect the empty, bleak reality of Travolta’s world - basically trying to outru, the void, which wlewys, inevitable, catches up.
"It's a Martin Scorsese trademark, according to the Internet Movie Database (IMDb) ("Frequently uses music by the Rolling Stones, especially "Gimme Shelter"")

@Joseph Hitler In Omaha, one station did that with Led Zep. So much so that when a 'Pure Rock' station made a go in the '90s, they would not play ANY. That seems to have abated, tho. A more recent station does play LZ.
Kinda surprised “Ecstasy of Gold” from The Good, The Bad and The Ugly didn’t make the list. But glad it didn’t because no can disrespect that masterpiece.
We need an "Another" video for this one. I mean: Never Gonna Give You Up Everybody Wants To Rule The World Eye Of The Tiger We're Playing Basketball We Will Rock You Africa Welcome To The Jungle....
*A character has a breakthrough of any kind* : “Sunrise” from Thus Spake Zarathustra plays * Characters go on a wild ride or what passes for one: *Cue “The Ride of the Valkyries”* *A dreamy, pleasant sequence with birds chirping* : “Morning Mood” from Peer Gynt plays *a training montage a la the Rocky movies*: “Eye of the Tiger” An extravagant party takes place: *Cue “Eine Kleine Nachtmusik”*
Under Pressure is still a classic, but it has appeared in way too many trailers, movies, and shows. It’s best use is Grosse Pointe Blank, which is also one of the best needle drops of all time.
@@user-pj7ur2pk4t yeah I read it, but the sentence makes no grammatical sense. It miss-uses the word "literally", and the second half of the sentence is contradictory Either you've heard all the songs in movies, or you haven't, but it can't be both.
I did an analysis of this in relation to its use in the second Detective Pikachu trailer-it was kind of shocking how many more elements they could have used if they needed/wanted to. The first line of the song actually matches up with the main character’s last name, but perhaps that was too on the nose.
17:09 technically, "We Are The Champions," is the second part to Queen's ICONIC "We Will Rock You." You also forgot to mention it was used in "Chicken Little."
@Johnathan Nathan Snowman You clearly didn't watch the show. They sang it a grand total of 6 times, four times was in season one with different people singing. So, a bit more than just once.
Walking on Sunshine is often used to quickly set up a quirky (yet very likable) character’s introduction to a show. Example: when the character of Charlie was introduced on Supernatural, she is walking into a very subdued office building. She has her headphones on and is listening to the song. As soon as she steps onto a glass elevator that is empty, she energetically begins to dance until she abruptly stops when the elevator stops and she steps off and back into a subdued role. No other song can take 30 seconds and set up that characterization so well.
@Joseph Hitler A couple years ago at camp, this person played nothing but "We're the Champions" 6 times a day for a week. It may have not been 6 but it felt like it.
Mr. Boombastic - Shaggy, Crazy In Love - Beyonce, Lets Get It Started - B.E.P, Clocks - Coldplay, Move Your Feet - Junior Senior, Wanna Be - Spice Girls, When Doves Cry - Prince, GhostBusters - Ray Parker Jr and I Will Survive - Gloria Gaynor. That's all I can think of so far.
I mostly remember it as a gag from the musical “We Will Rock You” where the evil lead thinks she’s won and starts to sing the song, only for her underling to stop her (and the song) almost immediately. (I believe in an anniversary performance she breaks the fourth wall, complains about how she never gets to sing it, and then not only does the entire song, she also pulled Brian May out from behind a piece of scenery to play the solo!)
I'm glad that "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell wasn't on the list. Yes, it's been used often (Stepmom, Remember the Titans, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Titans), but damn if it's not used well every single time.

That Smashmouth song “All Star” was in every kids movie for YEARS!!

@@enzo3217 Yeah. That's what I said. Lol
it was only in shrek tho
@@Pina_Coladas69 What??? The All Star song is in TONS of movies.
@@Tht1Gy it was meant for Shrek.
"Ain't No Mountain High Enough" was recently listed as the Most Credited Song on Movie Soundtracks. How could it not make the list?
It even helped inspire “Makin’ My Way (Any Way That I Can)”, which has a few soundtrack placements of its own.
I feel like overused and credited have two different meanings.
The Fray "How To Save A Life" has been overused in most Medical TV shows including Grey's Anatomy, Scrubs, etc..
"Don't Stop Believing" by Journey, "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor and "Hello" Lionel Richie are others that I hear a lot in movies.
Good ones!!
Agreed!
Don't Stop Believing is overused overall but not so much in movies. I can only think of two off the top of my head that have that song in them.
@@jacepawlak In The Wedding Singer they use Don't Stop Believing, in The Sopranos and in Ash vs. Evil Dead
Don’t stop believing belong to the sopranos now no one can’t touch it now
The song for every movie that ends in a wedding. Especially a black romantic comedy... "September" - Earth, Wind and Fire.
That's funny, I first heard September in Night At The Museum.
Yep.. Each and every time..
@@annafowdy I was literally just thinking about that while reading this comment
Honestly Mr. Blue sky fit in perfectly with the beginning of Guardians of the Galaxy 2
I would add Don’t Stop me Now by Queen, Bad Moon Rising by CCR, and Eye of the Tiger by Survivor
Awsome... I thought I was the only one who noticed don't stop me now suddenly being in everything
No, Queen cannot be overused. I love their songs in films and tv shows.
You guys remember that one year when it felt like every movie ended with "Don't Go Breaking My Heart"?
🦧
yes that was interesting

Alternatively, "Sympathy for the devil" plays on just such situation as well
Should’ve been used for the first one (if they did then oops!)
Can't believe they didn't mention Bad to the bone in married with children, when Al Bundy would break bad.
That was almost his theme song. Lol

"I feel good" by James Brown. When we want to emphasize that a character is...feeling good.
Oh yes, and La Vie en Rose
here's some trivia for you: "Mr. Blue Sky" was almost the theme song for the US "The Office"
Well, I'll be damned!
Now I’m wondering if that would sound better.
Both start with a piano intro, and have a similar tempo. Now I’m just spooked 👀
Thank god it wasn't
Whoa!
I am amazed that James Brown's I Feel Good didn't make the list because that has to be a very overused song in films and tv.
While it isn't as overused as the songs on this list, I'm getting a little tired of "Where Is My Mind?"

"Holdin' out for a hero" - this is one song I have seen in multiple movies and video games.

I think Queen's songs got overused because it is too good?
And meme able
I mean, Don’t Stop Me Now is known to be one of the happiest songs of all time, along with Mr. Blue Sky. So yeah, it’s overused for a reason.
17:09 technically, "We Are The Champions," is the second part to Queen's ICONIC "We Will Rock You." You also forgot to mention it was used in "Chicken Little."

That's all I can think of so far.
"White Rabbit" is in scenes with a character tripping or anything to do with psychedelics or hippies.

"I Feel Good" by James Brown has got to be number one. It's used an insane amount of times.
The Jaws theme is used in a lot of comedies, usually when an obnoxious character is approaching.
Fun Fact: The final chapter of **JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure Part 6:Stone Ocean** is named What A Wonderful World, like the song by Louis Armstrong.
I thought for sure “I feel good” was gonna take the top spot, and it wasn’t even an honorable mention.
Sweet Home Alabama has a different meaning these days.
Also, Lyhnyrd Skynyrd's best is Free Bird, especially when used in Kingsman.

None of the musicians responsible for those songs are complaining. I'm sure every musician and group would love to have an overused song as a problem.
My favorite use of "Walking on Sunshine" was in Supernatural when Charlie Bradbury dances to it in the glass elevator! That was a great scene!
"House of the rising sun" is played in a lot of movies too
I was honestly expecting Don't Stop Me Now... I've heard it more than We Are the Champions
Best used in Shaun of the Dead!

Bad to the bone should be on every overused songs list.
All these songs are great! No need to retire them!
