Time warp, feed me "get it" those kind of my favorite songs from cult flims from my childhood
Race Against Time (Part 2) By Tank from The Fast and The Furious
Day-O!
In Dreams Blue Velvet 1986
“DAY-O!” That song is too iconic!!
I always credit "Beetlejuice" for introducing me to the catchy music of Harry Belafonte, his legacy is truly long living.
"Bittersweet Symphony" was the best choice for Kathryn's downfall. You simultaneously feel sorry and revel in her comeuppance, thanks to Sarah Michelle Geller's captivating performance.
Bittersweet Symphony is a catchy song. I wish the band had more recognition as their other Britpop counterparts like Blur and Oasis.
'I put a spell on you' from Hocus Pocus should surely be here
The Day-O song on Beetlejuice's movie is mostly iconic because of the silly dance moves! Is so hilarious!
What's also funny is to watch Cathleen O'Hare's eyes darting around in a sort of panicked "What's going on?!" as she starts singing.
@@forcewielder2000catherine, not cathleen
SO GLAD ROCKY HORROR WAS NUMBER 1❤❤❤

At last! Someone else who appreciates the Buffy movie!
Heavy Metal has the *best* soundtrack omg
It could also be "any song" for Dazed and Confused, honestly.
How about 'Holding Out For A Hero' from Shrek 2?
Also Mean Green Mother from Outer Space from Little Sho of Horrors
I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve seen and participated in Rocky Horror Picture Show screenings!
Lmao time warp was a head of it's time today especially with all of the trans
Not even an honorable mention for “Magic Dance” from Labyrinth!? David Bowie in all his cult movie glory! ❤
That whole soundtrack is too iconic to choose just one.
I'm sorry, no ferris bueller's day off Twist and Shout?
are you kidding me?
Of course you did justice to them! Happy tuesday afternoon, Sophia, take care and God bless you. Greetings from Colombia to you as well
I absolutely love Rocky Horror Picture Show. I know every song by heart.
Sweet Transvestite is also a good song
Little Miss Sunshine “Super Freak”
How is ‘Don’t You (Forget About Me)’ from Breakfast Club not on this list‽ 🤯
It's a list of iconic music moments in cult classics. Breakfast Club was huge.
@@nixeleth I didn’t realize BC was that successful. I’ve always viewed it as a cult classic.
Yes to "The Time Warp." I fell in love with my husband the moment he asked me to do "Rocky Horror" with him. I thought he was a nice, straight-laced lawyer until that moment. I enjoyed our blind date, but I wasn't going to go on a second one with him until that magic moment. A lifetime of wacky wedded bliss ensued.
Wayne's world, Queen,.... Anyone? Baffling
" Don't you forget about me" by simple minds song from the breakfast club . Classic. Faves better be in the list!
DAY - O THAT SONG IS TOO ICONIC SHACK SHENORA SHOULD BE NUMBER 1
I've only ever heard that version of Mad World and it's so haunting and beautiful.
Also first heard Day-O from Beetlejuice and then recently my dad got the vinyl record from his brother that the song came out on!
Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
Cry Little Sister by Gerard McMahon from the movie Lost Boys
What A Feeling by Irene Cara from the movie Flashdance
Supermassive black hole by muse used in Twilight
Ain't Nobody Breakin' (1984) Performed By Chaka Khan one the films best tracks next to There's No Stopping Us and Street People
“Shout” from Animal House
Love “Mad World” in that closing scene!
Donnie Darko theme song
So Happy Mad World from Donnie Darko made the list! Love that scene and ending!
I remember learning the Day O banana boat song in elementary school music class and being surprised seeing it in beetlejuice when I first watched it in middle school
Great list 👏 so fun 🎶 good job cruel intentions is a cult classic absolutely loved it so much still do
Lovely!
Perfect Day from Trainspotting and Hot Stuff from The Full Monty should be on the list.
I like my favorite song from a cult classic on TV or on Hulu or on the DVDs like Stuck In The Middle With You Reservoir Dogs and Tequila Pee-wee's Big Adventure and These Days The Royal Tenenbaums and Day-O (The Banana Boat Song) Beetlejuice and Hip To Be Square American Psycho and Mad World Donnie Darko and Somebody To Love, The Cable Guy and Canned Heat, Napoleon Dynamite and Camelot Song, Monty Python And The Holy Grail and Don't Stop Me Now, Shaun Of The Dead and Time Wrap The Rocky Horror Picture Show
The dance scene from Napoleon Dynamite also lives on in World of Warcraft because it's the dance that Blood Elf males perform when you use /dance.
When the movie came out on DVD, Jon Heder (in his Napoleon getup) went on David Letterman to do the Top Ten list (with the list's topic being "The Top Ten Signs You're Not The Most Popular Guy In Your High School"), and #3 was "You can't dance like this" before he broke out into a few moves from the dance.
Put the Lime in the Coconut from Practical Magic
Rocky Horror was a .musical! Unfairly added to the list!
Ducky’s record shop lip sync in Pretty In Pink is iconic
What about Wayne's World classic Queen song? Noooooo
I loved all the songs on this list. I also wanted to state that I prefer the 10# list format to the 20-30# list.
From the 1983 film "Valley Girl" there is both "A Million Miles Away" and "I Melt With You".
Huey Lewis and Weird Al do the best parody video of the Hip to be Square scene in American Psycho.
Literally the entire movie of Rocky Horror Picture Show is #1
Why is Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody, used hilariously in Wayne's World not in this?
Also from Shaun of the Dead; Man Parrish's Hip Hop Be Bop(Don't Stop) should be mentioned, sometime, somewhere. This early 80's electro track was given some love(and hate by one of the characters) and created a memorable scene and quotable line; "It's not Hip-Hop, its Electro... prick."
Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody" from Wayne's World should have been included...
No, "I Just Dropped In" from The Big Lebowski?
Honorable mention for "Knights of the Round Table" but not "Always Look on the Bright Side of Life"?
"Somebody to love" and "Don't go breaking my heart" from the movie Ella Enchanted (2004)
"These Days" was written by Nico's boyfriend at the time, a youngster by the name of Jackson Browne.
A lot of these are my favorite scene in their respective film.
0:01 I forgot that scene had a real jumpscare.
At least it wasn't "a figment of your imagination." Beetlejuice Scare Face.
I don't know if _Hostel_ (2005) is considered a cult classic (among horror fans), but the song that they used at the Slovak club - "Držím ti miesto" by Team - is quite a banger.
I saw Beetlejuice on release and the sheer unexpectedness of the Day-O scene had the whole theater losing it. The relatively brief nature of the scene was a big reason too.
I truly miss the midnight movies!!!
Pretty woman playing in the shopping scene in Pretty woman
Unchained melody in ghost
Power of love Back to the future
These movies were major hits, not cult classics.
Fair enough but that's what came to mind
@LaLayla99 they can be both.
Where's my mind by the Pixies is the perfect ending song for Fight Club
5:00 my husband always swears this song had to be a U2 song or a Coldplay song. I see the similarities, but I always know I’m right!
Star Trek: Insurrection. When Picard, Worf, and Data sang Gilbert And Sullivan's HMS Pinifore.
"Sing, Worf, sing!"
I’m just glad that time warp was number one
Hopeless - Dionne Farrris Love songs
I would have put beetle juice at number 1 sorry it’s my favourite ❤
Yeah, but they could've put "Murder on the Dancefloor" from Saltburn on that list. Not only is a great song, it's a great way to show it off.
And then Beetlejuice Beetlejuice did it again with another obscure song.
I'm thinking of the song The Lullaby Of Broadway from 42nd Street . It is also sung or lip synched in Life With Mikey. Who played Kimberley Denise Jackson,I wonder??🙂
Best You Could Do from Arthur. I hated the 2011 version of the song as it sounded like something you would hear in a commercial with Michael Buble promoting a product.
Agreed, it sounded tacky, the Christopher Cross original is by far the superior version.
I liked Andy Gibb’s cover of the song as well.
I thought this would be songs written for the film, not songs that were already notable and later used in films.
My pick for a favorite song written for the film would be "It's Going to be a Shpadoinkle Day" from Cannibal the Musical.
Suddenly Seymour, Little Shop of Horrors.
I clicked just to hear Day-O.
How can Queen and Wayne's World not be on here?
When I hear 'canned heat' I think of center stage
For me Canned Heat will always be Center Stage.
🌬 Message of Rouge
"Kiki's Delivery Service"
Rest in peace, Phil Hartman.
I'm genuinely shocked "Power of Love" from
Back to the Future isn't on here.
Is that great song covered ,with a clip of her performing it in Life iWith Mikey?
Donnie Darko is more much relevant now due to the era of mental health awareness and that’s great.
Where is my mind by the pixies used in Fight Club
I mkeant to post this post in the great songs in Modern Musicals vid but couldn't find it.Sorry.
Hedwig and RHPS are musicals, not movies with a single scene that became iconic because of its music.
How is Where is My Mind not included for Fight Club?
Perfect Days has the best soundtrack ever. But my favorite song from that movie is Perfect Day by Lou Reed.
Sure, that song does appear in Trainspotting, but Perfect Days made Lou Reed’s song better.
9:53 you all have the wrong actor here lol Christian Bale is the actor.
Bateman is the character name.
Nah, when I hear Tequila it will always be The Sandlot
Why does nobody show performances of Shock Treatment songs??🙂😲
Not Kate Bush's "Running Up that Hill" in Stranger Things??
Will you shut up. Shut up. Shut up. "The dreams in which im dying are the best I've ever had." What does that mean? What does it mean? How bout this song? "momma's little baby loves shortening, shortening momma's little baby loves shortening bread." - Haggard Bad Company
i would have put zydrate anatomy from repo the genetic opera on this list
I’m sorry but Canned Heat belongs to the cult classic Centre Stage. Great list though.
I most closely associate mad world with gears of war
How is "Cuban Pete" from The Mask not on here? I had it as #1
Such a good pick!
Day-O is objectively #1. Only that song and Bittersweet Symphony make me think of those films before anything else. No other song in this list does that except Time Warp....which shouldn't be on this list because that song was written specifically for the film/musical. Day-O and Bittersweet are 2 wxisting songs perfectly chosen for their respective films which now take people right back into those films. Its a different art to perfectly place existing music versus writing song specifically for films. Time Warp can go on another list, but iy doesn't really belong here. Its different. That's why Day-O should be #1. That song can begin on a radio, in a store, anywhere and an image of Catherine O'Hara immediately pops into my and many people's minds feom note #1. And I'm sure most people can not name the artist, but can 100% name the movie and scene. And in a Tim Burton film, where most of the music is always original. Now..
.the musical sequence in the sequel will NOT. Be remembered the same. It was a horribly selected, forgettable song in an overlong, boring scene. And the lip syncing looked way too unnatural and silly whereas in the original, it was fun and funny and SHORT in comparison. I can't believe the put a horrible, 7 minute, boring, drawn out musical sequence about a cake in the sequel. Ugh. So bad.
Don’t you forget about you.
yep beetlejuice
Beetlejuice is a cult film? I thought it was too popular to be considered a cult film.
Seriously? No mention of "The Full Monty"? Shameful.
But you can leave your hat on....
@@Renegade-qr3bh, I'm smiling as I'm sticking my tongue out!
The name game AHS
Post Malone Sunflower Into The Spider-Verse And Extreme Ways In Jason Bourne Indenty And Chad Kroger Hero In Spider-Man And Collective Soul She Said And B.Cooper We On Unfriended And Sam Cooke Blue Moon An American Werewolf In London And Blue Oyster Cult Don't Fear The Reaper In Halloween 1978 Or Scream 1996 Or X
"Through the Trees" from Jennifer's Body. "New Perspective" from Jennifer's Body? "Teenagers" from Jennifer's Body?????
some confusion re. nature of songs: sung (or mimed) by characters, recordings played over the action.
'Time Warp' is basically the Hokey Kokey with pretensions to Cool
#1 is Day-O, for sure! I HATE ROCKY HORROR AND ALL THE SONGS!!!
So i guess in "American Psycho", Batman killed the Joker. 🫤
