Post a Song (That is tied to a movie)

[ssjones]

I'll allow TV show songs, because I love Nick Cave.

The Bridge, an excellent show on FX no one watched. This song introduced me to Ryan Bingham, you may know him from Yellowstone.

Then of course the Bond movie that actually was named after the song written for it.

Since we are doing TV shows and there are 1000s of them I'll go with the only thing my mother was ever able to teach me to play on the piano and only because i could play it with 2 fingers.

Welcome to Lunar Industries - Moon (2009)

I loved this movie and have about 1/2 of the soundtrack on my spotify chill mix.

Heavy Metal (Take a Ride) by Don Felder
Heavy Metal (1981)

Good one, fantastic soundtrack! I saw that one in the theater.
Don Felder, not known as a heavy metal artist, but great song!

Also included one of the best songs Sammy Hagar ever wrote!

I wasn't a Donald Fagen fan at the time. Tonight, his name on the cover caught me out - he has a cut as well, great guitar work by Grulnick! I do not remember this story.

Story Of A Song: Donald Fagen’s ‘True Companion’ (1981)

Steely Dan’s breakup was officially announced on 17th June 1981 when Donald Fagen gave a scoop to journalist and long-time fan Robert Palmer in the New York Times. In the interview, Fagen did…

Hero by Chad Kroeger
Spiderman (2002)

This song also reminds me of 9/11...
My girlfriend had taken me to a movie for my birthday a couple days before I went off to MEPS, and there was a trailer for the original Toby Maguire Spider-Man movie. I was so juiced! (The original trailer was pulled from circulation, but can be seen below) They recut the final scene of the movie as a 9/11 tribute and the song rolled over the end credits.

Some real icons here for sure but also a few I'm not familiar with.

Here's one I consider iconic that I remember from childhood and probably would never have known the song if not for the movie:

One of my personal favorites that is easily recognizable and makes me smile and I often catch myself whistling:

Another icon even though it's not my cup of tea but it's another from when I was young (I blame my mom for this one):

This one could be a little obscure for some but I will always associate the song with the movie and the movie is what I instantly think of when I hear the song:

This one is iconic from my youth and I will never forget this movie intro which would not work without the song:

Would be really fun to post the song but not mention the film and have people guess.

How could I have forgotten The Life of Brian closing song, brilliant and always make me smile!

How about this "Things to Do In Denver, When You Are Dead", a very under-rated movie, with Buddy Guy playing in the background, with his trademark shirt.

Guess the film
