Hey guys,
I was thinking about this topic earlier on after hearing a particular song and thought it would make an interesting thread. Are there any songs out there that once you hear them, you immediately think of a particular movie??
Well, I was listening to U2's "I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For" and immediately thought of the movie Blown Away with Tommy Lee Jones and Jeff Bridges and more particular the scene where Tommy Lee Jones is dancing around while listening to it.
Excuse the subtitles in this clip:
EVERY time I hear this song, that's the movie I think of. It was a PERFECT choice for that movie.
Another very obvious one would be Simple Minds' "Don't You Forget About Me" from the 80's classic The Breakfast Club.
Every time I hear that tune, I am taken back to that film. Such a great choice for that movie.
Another one would be Dead of Alive's "You Spin Me Right Round" (Like A Record) from The Wedding Singer.
Always reminds me of that movie every time I hear it.
I can name off more, but I will wait until this gets a few replies, which I'm sure it will.
What other songs remind you of a certain movie right when you hear it??

I aim to please my good man!
Some actual songs for this however would be some of these:
"Arise Rodimus Prime..."
"Don't just stare at it, eat it."
"She's a harbor chick!"
Jackie Wilson's original version works just as well!
"You sound like a gay!"

Makes me this of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and the Kick-Ass films.
Can not listen to this and not think of Ghostbusters 2 and the Statue Of Liberty walking the streets of NYC.

I still hear songs from the late 90s almost everyday which were on the American Pie soundtrack.
