@@MsMojo Forever Young by Journey in Vision Quest always, as well as The Heat is On by Glenn Frey for Beverly Hills Cop. That being said, Patty Labelle and the Pointer Sisters would have to be included as well.
More Honorable Mentions: Over the Rainbow (Judy Garland) - The Wizard of Oz; Que Sera, Sera (Doris Day - The Man Who Knew Too Much; Moon River (Andy Williams) - Breakfast at Tiffany's; Up Where We Belong (Jennifer Warnes and Joe Cocker) - An Officer and a Gentleman; Danger Zone (Kenny Loggins) - Top Gun; Eye of the Tiger (Survivor) - Rocky II; (I've Had) The Time of My Life (Bill Medley & Jennifer Warnes) - Dirty Dancing; I Will Always Love You (Whitney Houston) - The Bodyguard; Oh Yeah! (Yello) - Ferris Bueller's Day Off *_and_* The Secret of My Success Freebird (Lynard Skynard) - Kingsman, The Secret Service; And though I hate the song now... My Heart Will Go On (Celine Dion) - Ttanic
Have not seen some of these movies, agree with some others, too, but the top two are SO SPOT ON! And indeed, my right fist bumps the air every. Single. Time 😀
"Power of Love" -- Back to the Future "Free Bird" and 1812 Overture -- Kingsmen: The Secret Service "All Star" -- Shrek "Friend Like Me" -- Alladin "You've Got A Friend In Me" -- Toy Story There's plenty more.....I just can't think of them right now.
Too many good/memorable songs to pick just one! But I can't hear "Stand By Your Man" without thinking of the Blues Brothers Band's hilarious cover! I WISH that were on the soundtrack!
I say a little prayer for you from the movie my best friends wedding. I cannot hear that song without thinking of all of them singing that at the table
"It's The End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)" by R.E.M. in the beginning of Independence Day; "Back in Black" by AC/DC in Iron Man. Footloose by Kenny Loggins in Footloose. Danger Zone by Kenny Loggins in Top Gun; "Top Gun Anthem" by Harold Faltermeyer and Steve Stevens. "Power Of Love" by Huey Lewis and the News as well as "Johnny B. Goode" by Chuck Berry in Back To The Future. These are just the ones off the top my head whilst watching this video.
"Eye of the Tiger"- Rocky III "Power of Love" (Huey Lewis & The News)- Back to the Future "The Touch"- Some would say Boogie Nights, but I'll go with Transformers: The Animated Movie back in 1986. "Heroes" (The Wallflowers)- You could put it in The Perks of Being a Wallflower, but I would go with the end scene in The Replacements because it encapsulates the overall meaning of the phrase. "I'm A Believer" (Smash Mouth)- Shrek
"Dangerzone" Top Gun "I Swear" Just Friends "Purple Rain" Purple Rain "Wind Beneath My Wings" Beaches "The Sound of Silence" The Graduate "Ride of the Valkyrie" Apocalypse Now "Fight The Power" Do the Right Thing "Cruel Summer" The Karate Kid
"Don't Stop Me Now" by Queen in Shaun of the Dead. They beat a zombie with pool cues and try to turn off the lights in time with the beat of the song. First thought when ever I hear the song. Should have been at least honorable mention.
If you grew up in the 80s, I think John Hughes had a knack for picking music that matched his films. Sixteen Candles has Wham and The Thompson Twins that I immediately think of the scenes when I hear those songs, same with Psychedelic Furs, from Pretty in Pink, Yello, from Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and the remake of People are Strange by Echo and the Bunnymen for The Lostboys
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. The gave a hat tip to Tarantino for his ability to pair a scene with music, but they could have populated this whole list with scenes from John Hughes movies.
The Rockafeller Skank - She's All That Our Lips Are Sealed - Open credits of Fast Times at Ridgemont High Tubular Bells - The Exorcist Bamboléo - Sing La Vie en Rose - Emily in Paris (I figured this current generation may have Edith Piaf)
Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" still makes me think of the original Shrek. Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time" still makes me think of Strictly Ballroom. And of course, "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" still makes me think of BOTH Mannequin films! lol "Get Outta My Dream, Get Into My Car" by Billy Ocean still makes me think of that movie License to Drive. Blue Oyster Cult's "Don't Fear the Reaper" always makes me think of the original Scream film.
"All Star" and "Accidentally In Love" are connected to Shrek "Kiss Me" from the stairs scene in She's All That "Pretty Woman" from Pretty Woman But most of all...THE TIME OF MY LIFE from the final scene of DIRTY DANCING!!!
I'm a Believer - Shrek. In fact any track on the Shrek OST recording is forever associated with Shrek. Same with any track on the Moulin Rouge OST (ESPECIALLY 'Roxanne', which redefined the tune.)
I love that Tom Cruise improvised the entire "Old Time Rock and Roll" scene, where in the script, it was written as "Joel dances to music." It's a testament to how skilled of an actor he is, he really should have won an Oscar by this stage in his career.
Shout - Animal House Burn by the Cure - The Crow Take My Breath Away - Top Gun Danger Zone - Top Gun Black Sheep - Scott Pilgrim Vs the World Oh Yeah - Ferris Bueller
“Wake Me Up Before You Go Go” in Zoolander , “Hungry Eyes” in Dirty Dancing, “Let’s Hear It For The Boy” in Footloose, and personally “There She Goes” in ep1 of Gilmore Girls 🤗
I’m a 90s kid and I was first introduced to Queen through Wayne’s World. Now at 43 they are still my favorite band with Freddie Mercury being my favorite singer. I have a custom painting of him and I’m planning a tattoo of him so thank you for insisting on that song Mike Myers!❤
I have a Spotify playlist only with songs that I can't separate from movie scenes - Great balls of fire (Top Gun) - Woldn't it be nice (50 first dates) - You make my dreams come true (500 days of Summer) - Dude looks like a lady (Mrs Doubtfire) - Wedding bell blues (My girl) - Johnny B. Goode (Back to the future) - Yeah! (Hitch) - I believe I can fly (Space Jam) - You're so vain (How to lose a guy in 10 days) - I get around (Look who's talking) - That's life (Joker) Among others......
I walked down the aisle to Unchained Melody at my wedding. 😊 I have so many memories of head banging with my dad to Bohemian Rhapsody. And my first “baby” I nannied for, her song was Tiny Dancer, I sang it rocking her to sleep. 😊
I knew that "Unchained Melody" was an older song, but I had no idea that it was originally from a prison film. Upon hearing the lyrics again, it makes a lot of sense.
Ms is a total miss on most of these, like #1, hands down, would be "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" and the scene of Judy Garland singing it in The Wizard of Oz, but it didn't even make this list. Also, I'd replace any of about six or seven of these, all of which I've seen and most of which I've never found that memorable, with Aretha Franklin's "I Say a Little Prayer" and the scene in My Best Friend's Wedding when the entire wedding party and family at the pre-wedding brunch table just spontaneously (and quite hilariously) breaks out in song in middle of the restaurant singing it because I truly can't hear that song anymore without thinking of My Best Friend's Wedding. It's like the two of them got married back in 97 and have been joined at the hip ever since.
Beetlejuice movie, and the Tom Cruise scene should’ve been in the top 10. That bass new old time rock ‘n’ roll is iconic in has been parodies so many times. Day-O from Beetlejuice is also iconic.
Who be making these lists? How is it no mention of Dirty Dancing not on this list?! Instead of honorable mentions, Risky Business should had been on the main list.
Can't Take My Eyes off Of You from 10 Things I Hate About You though I’m more familiar with the Lauryn Hill version, Grease from of course Grease, and In Your Eyes from Say Anything
Preach, love all those songs, though the example from "Say Anything" comes across as a little creepy when you realise that Lloyd has no idea that Diane secretly wants to get back together with him. If she hadn't, then his actions would come across disturbingly as stalking.
I also thought of Time of My Life, Be My Baby, Love is so Strange, and Hungry Eyes from Dirty Dancing though I never understood She’s Like the Wind wasn't as popular as those last four.
All Star from Shrek Dude Looks like a lady from Mrs Doubtfire Johnny B Goode from Back to the Future Hot Stuff from The Full Monty So many missing from this list.
"Im deranged" David Bowie - Lost Highway (opening and closing scene) "Lust For Life" Iggy Pop - Trainspotting (openning scene) "Thats Life" - Frank Sinatra - Joker "Bang Bang" Nancy Sinatra - Kill Bill
The most iconic song now associated explicitly with a movie was written in 1896. "Also Sprach Zarathustra" by Richard Strauss, later to be recognizable only as the theme to 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968). Honorable mention: Soul Bossa Nova, by Quincy Jones, 1962 (aka theme to Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery)
if its supposed to be sung then: The Mask scene where they sing Cuban Pete haha classic Back to the Future Marty McFly plays Johnny b Good Daft Punk playing Derezzed on the Tron fight scene Ace Ventura 2 where he sing Chitty Chitty Bang Bang hahaha The Blues Brothers sing Everybody needs somebody at the end Otherwise: - The Verve's magnum opus Bittersweet Symphony on Cruel Intentions, good stuff. - Techno Syndrome by The Immortals on the opening logo and ending to the original Mortal Kombat movie - Men in Black by Will Smith for Men in Black - Axel F playing on Beverlly Hills Cop to the final confrontation at the bad guy's mansion - Michael Jackson's "Will u be there" as theme to Free Willy
OOOO YES!! #1 is SOOO AWESOME!! Songs from the movie St. Elmo's Fire are AWESOME too and SO many more 80's movies!! Movie music was BETTER in the 80's than MUSIC in general in the 80's. SOme of it was good though.
No. 5: "Wayne's World" was instrumental (no pun intended) in reviving the popularity of the Queen hit "Bohemian Rhapsody" and bringing the song to the 1990's. That said, I agree with No. 1. I can't hear "Don't You Forget About Me" without thinking about "The Breakfast Club".
There's a story about how Freddie Mercury, in the last days of his battle with AIDS, watched the Bohemian Rhapsody scene in Wayne's World at Mike Myers' invitation, and loved it. He and his Queen bandmates thought it captured their brand of humor perfectly.
Your number one is definitely the number one in my book. This was one of the very few movies that really spoke to me. I think that it is because I was the same age as those kids.
I'm kinda in shock that Johnny B Goode from Back to the Future nor Say a little a little prayer for you from My best friend wedding weren't even mentioned.
- Bye Bye Bye and Like a Prayer from Deadpool and Wolverine. - Everything is Awesome from Lego Movie -If You Were Here from Central Intelligence (and Sixteen Candles) -Sweet Home Alabama from Forrest Gump
Agree with pretty much everyone in these comments, but you forgot to mention that when Mike Meyers got "Bohemin Rhapsody" in to "Wayne's World", he was rewarded several years later by Queen members Roger Taylor (drums and falsetto) and Brian May (guitar) - executive producers of film Bohemian Rhapsody - with a small part in the movie. Makes it all more memorable!
No Johnny B. Goode Back to the Future? Some songs I associate with movie scenes: Back to the Future: Chuck Berry - "Johnny B. Goode" Huey Lewis & The News - "Power of Love" Dumb and Dumber: Carly Simon & James Taylor - "Mockingbird" and The Cowsills - "The Rain The Park and Other Things" Happy Gilmore: Exile - "Kiss You All Over" The Blues Brothers: "Rawhide theme" Cab Calloway - "Minnie the Moocher" Flight of the Navigator: The Beach Boys - "I Get Around" Gremlins 2: The New Batch: "New York, New York" The Quiet Man - "The Wild Colonial Boy"
Ray Charles's Shake a Tail in The Blues Brothers. Unbeatable... A Little Prayer in My Best Friend's Wedding, unforgettable. As Time Goes by in Casablanca, classic.
If I had to think of a film and song that I always associate with each other, it would have to be Bad Moon Rising, as heard in An American Werewolf in London. Can never think of the one without the other.
Which song/scene combo is forever etched in YOUR memory? Let us know below, and check out our video of the Top 30 Catchiest Songs from Modern Movie Musicals - ruclips.net/video/8fE_c4TS_cc/видео.html

The scene where all the cops started to dance in The Mask😂
@@MsMojo Forever Young by Journey in Vision Quest always, as well as The Heat is On by Glenn Frey for Beverly Hills Cop. That being said, Patty Labelle and the Pointer Sisters would have to be included as well.
The Cars - "Moving in Stereo". If you are a guy that came of age in the 80's, you know! 🤣🤣🤣

I agree with some people here about “Johnny be good” in Back to the Future…
I was about to say that.
"Oh, Pretty Woman" -- Pretty Woman
"Shout" -- Animal House
Actually I think of Kiss by Prince for Pretty Woman!
I'm sorry, but I can't hear "All star" without seeing Shrek come out of his bathroom
SOMEBODY-
@@tornadodee148 The fact that I could hear your reply💀
@@carmcakes1687 lol
Same here!
Have not seen some of these movies, agree with some others, too, but the top two are SO SPOT ON! And indeed, my right fist bumps the air every. Single. Time 😀
Top Gun: You’ve Lost that Lovin’ Feeling
As for the movie Top Gun, I usually think of the songs Danger Zone and Take My Breath Away.
@@melissacooper8724 me too. In fact I bought the soundtrack CD, and “You’ve lost that loving feeling” isn’t even on it.
"Power of Love" -- Back to the Future
"Free Bird" and 1812 Overture -- Kingsmen: The Secret Service
"All Star" -- Shrek
"Friend Like Me" -- Alladin
"You've Got A Friend In Me" -- Toy Story
There's plenty more.....I just can't think of them right now.
I don't think songs specifically written for the movies are included in this list. So toy story and Aladdin don't meet the criteria.
@@swarlesbarkely2449didn’t allstar come out before shriek?
Johnny B Goode and Earth Angel- Back to the Future
@@brennathecatlover4360 I was only referring to Aladdin and Toy Story. Those songs were written specifically for those movies.
Songs written specifically FOR a movie shouldn’t count.
The honorable mentions are the best part of the list
"Footloose" 🎵🎶🎼🎤
This would be my no. 1
Oh come on… the Blues Brothers didn’t even get a mention?!! Ray Charles man!!
Ray Charles, Aretha, Cab Calloway, "The Theme from Rawhide", "The Girl From Ipanema". So many from that movie.
@@sebbohnivlac True, True… 😁😁
Louie Louie
R.E.S.PE.C.T. - always think of the movie
Too many good/memorable songs to pick just one! But I can't hear "Stand By Your Man" without thinking of the Blues Brothers Band's hilarious cover! I WISH that were on the soundtrack!
Time of My Life in Dirty Dancing!
"Time of My LIfe" was written specifically for the movie.
Right, Time of my life from Dirty Dancing and also Footloose!!!
Yes! I came to say this… I was surprised this was not included!
I say a little prayer for you from the movie my best friends wedding. I cannot hear that song without thinking of all of them singing that at the table
I can't hear Wonderful World without thinking of Good Morning Vietnam
Love how Tim Burton added Harry Belafonte in Beetlejuice movie.
As well as the video.
Not having the Johny B Goode scene from Back to the Future felt like a crime, but still a great list
"It's The End of the World as We Know It (And I Feel Fine)" by R.E.M. in the beginning of Independence Day; "Back in Black" by AC/DC in Iron Man. Footloose by Kenny Loggins in Footloose. Danger Zone by Kenny Loggins in Top Gun; "Top Gun Anthem" by Harold Faltermeyer and Steve Stevens. "Power Of Love" by Huey Lewis and the News as well as "Johnny B. Goode" by Chuck Berry in Back To The Future. These are just the ones off the top my head whilst watching this video.
I think of Saturday Night Fever whenever I hear Stayin’ Alive by The Bee Gees
“Hooked On A Feeling” - Guardians Of The Galaxy
Na, that song will forever be "Reservoir Dogs"
@@TestTest-hu1gj Ally McBeal and the creepy dancing baby
"Eye of the Tiger"- Rocky III
"Power of Love" (Huey Lewis & The News)- Back to the Future
"The Touch"- Some would say Boogie Nights, but I'll go with Transformers: The Animated Movie back in 1986.
"Heroes" (The Wallflowers)- You could put it in The Perks of Being a Wallflower, but I would go with the end scene in The Replacements because it encapsulates the overall meaning of the phrase.
"I'm A Believer" (Smash Mouth)- Shrek
"Dangerzone" Top Gun
"I Swear" Just Friends
"Purple Rain" Purple Rain
"Wind Beneath My Wings" Beaches
"The Sound of Silence" The Graduate
"Ride of the Valkyrie" Apocalypse Now
"Fight The Power" Do the Right Thing
"Cruel Summer" The Karate Kid
I will always think about the opening scene of Top Gun when I hear Dangerzone!
@@ColorfulBallerina Same here 😅
The Elton John sing along on the bus is so iconic, that my cousins and I always tried to replicate it on long car journeys, but with mixed results. 😅
for me it’s “bennie and the jets” in 27 dresses
and “youre so vain” in how to lose a guy in 10 days
“Shout” from Animal House and “You’ve lost that Lovin’ Feeling” from Top Gun
Top Gun: Dangerzone by Kenny Loggins and Footloose: by Kenny Loggins, 80s all the way!!
Top Gun: You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling.
"Don't Stop Me Now" by Queen in Shaun of the Dead. They beat a zombie with pool cues and try to turn off the lights in time with the beat of the song. First thought when ever I hear the song. Should have been at least honorable mention.
I think of movie like Shazam with that song
If you grew up in the 80s, I think John Hughes had a knack for picking music that matched his films. Sixteen Candles has Wham and The Thompson Twins that I immediately think of the scenes when I hear those songs, same with Psychedelic Furs, from Pretty in Pink, Yello, from Ferris Bueller's Day Off, and the remake of People are Strange by Echo and the Bunnymen for The Lostboys
Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. The gave a hat tip to Tarantino for his ability to pair a scene with music, but they could have populated this whole list with scenes from John Hughes movies.
@@sebbohnivlac totally agree 👍
What about All-Star from Shrek?
The Rockafeller Skank - She's All That
Our Lips Are Sealed - Open credits of Fast Times at Ridgemont High
Tubular Bells - The Exorcist
Bamboléo - Sing
La Vie en Rose - Emily in Paris (I figured this current generation may have Edith Piaf)
"Lust for Life" - Trainspotting
"Wild Thing" - Major League
"Everybody Needs Somebody to Love" - Blues Brothers
Nobody gonna mention “A Thousand Miles” in the White Chicks? I always imagine Terry Crews singing when that song comes on.
My heart will go on, from Titanic
That was written specifically for the movie, so it doesn't count for this list.
Come and get your Love from Guardians of the Galaxy
And "Hooked On A Feeling" by Blue Swede from the same film.
Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" still makes me think of the original Shrek. Cyndi Lauper's "Time After Time" still makes me think of Strictly Ballroom. And of course, "Nothing's Gonna Stop Us Now" still makes me think of BOTH Mannequin films! lol "Get Outta My Dream, Get Into My Car" by Billy Ocean still makes me think of that movie License to Drive. Blue Oyster Cult's "Don't Fear the Reaper" always makes me think of the original Scream film.
was also thinking John Paul Young's "Love is in the Air" (Strictly Ballroom).
Seriously?!!! Ferris Bueller’s “Twist And Shout” should’ve been #1 on this list, instead of being in Honorable Mentions.
@fangirlable: yes!…and ‘Old Time Rock and Roll’-Risky Business should be 2 or 3.
Danke Schoen is also iconic in the same movie, but Twist and Shout is bigger.
day-o in Beetlejuice is iconic. on the other hand after seeing this I realise that a lot of Matthew Brodericks movies were part of my youth.
"All Star" and "Accidentally In Love" are connected to Shrek
"Kiss Me" from the stairs scene in She's All That
"Pretty Woman" from Pretty Woman
But most of all...THE TIME OF MY LIFE from the final scene of DIRTY DANCING!!!
“Day-O (The Banana Boat Song)” from ‘Beetlejuice.’
😁👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
All By Myself - Brigit Jones' Diary
"Golden Years" (David Bowie) in A Knight's Tale
I would also say I’ve Had The Time Of My Life from Dirty Dancing because immediately I think of that scene.
Those honorable mentions shouldve made the list
Yup. Much better than some of the ones that did make the list.
You forgot about Gaurdians of the galaxy. The scene where Starlord is dancing to the song come and get your love by Redbone.
I'm a Believer - Shrek.
In fact any track on the Shrek OST recording is forever associated with Shrek.
Same with any track on the Moulin Rouge OST (ESPECIALLY 'Roxanne', which redefined the tune.)
I love that Tom Cruise improvised the entire "Old Time Rock and Roll" scene, where in the script, it was written as "Joel dances to music." It's a testament to how skilled of an actor he is, he really should have won an Oscar by this stage in his career.
Hopefully he gets an honorary Oscar, and even an AFI Lifetime Achievement Award
Jerry Bruckheimer even said how impressed he was when doing Top Gun, how Cruise commanded excellence back then at his age
@@Omar-wq9dzwhat about Robert Redford getting an afi award? He definitely deserves it way way way more than Tom cruise
No honorable mention for "Take My Breath Away," by Berlin, from Top Gun??
That was written for the movie, so it doesn't count for this video.
No mention abt “Time of my life” from Dirty Dancing….
That's because the song had no existence outside the movie. Written for it, performed in it.
And "Stuck In The Middle With You" always makes me think of the TV show "Grace and Frankie."
Walking on Sunshine--High Fidelity
Shout--Animal House
Thus Spake Zarathustra--2001
Pulp Fiction dance is classic
How was As Time Goes By from Casablanca not make the cut???? 😭😭😭😭
Shout - Animal House
Burn by the Cure - The Crow
Take My Breath Away - Top Gun
Danger Zone - Top Gun
Black Sheep - Scott Pilgrim Vs the World
Oh Yeah - Ferris Bueller
Town called Malice by The Jam and Billy Elliott are permanently linked in my mind.
I cannot hear the song without seeing the dance in my head.
For me, Billy Elliott is forever entwined with Cosmic Dancer by TRex.
“Wake Me Up Before You Go Go” in Zoolander , “Hungry Eyes” in Dirty Dancing, “Let’s Hear It For The Boy” in Footloose, and personally “There She Goes” in ep1 of Gilmore Girls 🤗
"There She Goes" : So I Married An Axe-Murderer
I’m a 90s kid and I was first introduced to Queen through Wayne’s World. Now at 43 they are still my favorite band with Freddie Mercury being my favorite singer. I have a custom painting of him and I’m planning a tattoo of him so thank you for insisting on that song Mike Myers!❤
Did I miss back to the future with Johnny be good?
I Say A Little Prayer For You: My Best Friend’s Wedding
I regularly watch Say Anything because of John Cusack❤️❤️❤️
I have a Spotify playlist only with songs that I can't separate from movie scenes
- Great balls of fire (Top Gun)
- Woldn't it be nice (50 first dates)
- You make my dreams come true (500 days of Summer)
- Dude looks like a lady (Mrs Doubtfire)
- Wedding bell blues (My girl)
- Johnny B. Goode (Back to the future)

benny and the jets from 27 dresses
Beetlejuice movie, and the Tom Cruise scene should’ve been in the top 10. That bass new old time rock ‘n’ roll is iconic in has been parodies so many times.
Day-O from Beetlejuice is also iconic.
You can´t stop the beat from hairspray
Singing in the Rain, Clockwork Orange. Ooofff, wish I could forget
I think we all do 😅
I can’t watch that movie a second time…I think it’s in my top most disturbing films. (Along with Deliverance, Seven, and The Exorcist)
Very nice work on your new top 10 list video.
As longtime music lovers and cinephiles alike, we LOVE it.
👍🏼
The Songs from the Shrek franchise
“Everybody’s Talking” from Midnight Cowboy, AND the tribute to that film in the “I’m Walking Here!” scene in Forest Gump.

All Star from Shrek
@colleenmcnaughton3634 I was really trying remember this song. I knew I was missing something
“Tequila” from ‘Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure.’
😃😂
Yes 😂
I always think of Die Hard With A Vengeance whenever I hear Summer In The City
Me too, that song always harkens back to that movie for me.
I couldn't agree more. Great movie and great time.
I think all of your honorable mentions couldve easily taken the top 5 of your list!
Can't Take My Eyes off Of You from 10 Things I Hate About You though I’m more familiar with the Lauryn Hill version, Grease from of course Grease, and In Your Eyes from Say Anything
Preach, love all those songs, though the example from "Say Anything" comes across as a little creepy when you realise that Lloyd has no idea that Diane secretly wants to get back together with him. If she hadn't, then his actions would come across disturbingly as stalking.

@@kamsismith Preach, Patrick Swayze really should have sung more in his career. So many songs on the soundtrack are my go to songs for karaoke. 🎤🎶
@@trinaqI wish he did more songs too as his voice is incredible, but then again, he was focused on his acting and dancing career.
All Star from Shrek
Dude Looks like a lady from Mrs Doubtfire

"Thats Life" - Frank Sinatra - Joker
"Bang Bang" Nancy Sinatra - Kill Bill
"Shake a Tail Feather"; "Think"; "Sweet Home Chicago"; "Stand by Your Man" all in the Blues Brothers.

Back to the Future Marty McFly plays Johnny b Good
Daft Punk playing Derezzed on the Tron fight scene
Ace Ventura 2 where he sing Chitty Chitty Bang Bang hahaha

- Men in Black by Will Smith for Men in Black
- Axel F playing on Beverlly Hills Cop to the final confrontation at the bad guy's mansion
- Michael Jackson's "Will u be there" as theme to Free Willy
OOOO YES!! #1 is SOOO AWESOME!! Songs from the movie St. Elmo's Fire are AWESOME too and SO many more 80's movies!! Movie music was BETTER in the 80's than MUSIC in general in the 80's. SOme of it was good though.
Is anybody going to mention I will follow him / Sister Act???
Can't imaginé nobody else but Whoopi singing it!!!
Most of these stand on their own long before a film used them in the soundtrack.
No. 5: "Wayne's World" was instrumental (no pun intended) in reviving the popularity of the Queen hit "Bohemian Rhapsody" and bringing the song to the 1990's. That said, I agree with No. 1. I can't hear "Don't You Forget About Me" without thinking about "The Breakfast Club".
There's a story about how Freddie Mercury, in the last days of his battle with AIDS, watched the Bohemian Rhapsody scene in Wayne's World at Mike Myers' invitation, and loved it. He and his Queen bandmates thought it captured their brand of humor perfectly.
Your number one is definitely the number one in my book.
This was one of the very few movies that really spoke to me. I think that it is because I was the same age as those kids.
I'm kinda in shock that Johnny B Goode from Back to the Future nor Say a little a little prayer for you from My best friend wedding weren't even mentioned.
- Bye Bye Bye and Like a Prayer from Deadpool and Wolverine.
- Everything is Awesome from Lego Movie
-If You Were Here from Central Intelligence (and Sixteen Candles)
-Sweet Home Alabama from Forrest Gump
I Want You To Want Me was literally written to summarize Kat’s feelings about Patrick
Can’t say its that surprising
Magic Mike XXL The gas station/convenience store dance to “I want it that way”.
"In Your Eyes", "Unchained Melody","Bohemian Rhapsody" and "Twist and Shout" recharted after being used in these movies.
Agree with pretty much everyone in these comments, but you forgot to mention that when Mike Meyers got "Bohemin Rhapsody" in to "Wayne's World", he was rewarded several years later by Queen members Roger Taylor (drums and falsetto) and Brian May (guitar) - executive producers of film Bohemian Rhapsody - with a small part in the movie. Makes it all more memorable!
No Johnny B. Goode Back to the Future? Some songs I associate with movie scenes:
Back to the Future: Chuck Berry - "Johnny B. Goode" Huey Lewis & The News - "Power of Love"
Dumb and Dumber: Carly Simon & James Taylor - "Mockingbird" and The Cowsills - "The Rain The Park and Other Things"
Happy Gilmore: Exile - "Kiss You All Over"
The Blues Brothers: "Rawhide theme" Cab Calloway - "Minnie the Moocher"
Flight of the Navigator: The Beach Boys - "I Get Around"
Gremlins 2: The New Batch: "New York, New York"
The Quiet Man - "The Wild Colonial Boy"
Ray Charles's Shake a Tail in The Blues Brothers. Unbeatable...
A Little Prayer in My Best Friend's Wedding, unforgettable.
As Time Goes by in Casablanca, classic.
How the hell did Risky Business end up as just an honorable mention? It was the one that predates almost everything on this list in terms of "iconic".
Good list, but missing Johnny B. Goode.
“Tubular Bells” and The Exorcist-I know it doesn’t have lyrics, but still
If I had to think of a film and song that I always associate with each other, it would have to be Bad Moon Rising, as heard in An American Werewolf in London. Can never think of the one without the other.
