"View to a Kill" from View to a Kill
"Misirlou" from Pulp Fiction
Mel Brooks needs no apologies.
It’s great to be the king.
Glad you had a good visit.
Naps are good...
Thanks ansel12, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYqwYrbwHeM
I’m feeling a bit like that tonight.
Having a special on super glue.
You and Laura Ingraham with the Super-Glue,.. lol
Thanks 2ndDivisionVet(((Hugs))) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_VhnAl2BF
Easy!! Big Bottom from Spinal Tap
Then of course, there is "A Hard Days Night" and "HELP" ... but I'm a hopeless Beatles fan, so I'm biased ;)
The proper name for that song is “The Gael” Unlike in the movie “the last of the mohicans, it is usually played on bagpipes. It sounds a bit different this way. Both version are great.
Good choice.
Pulp Fiction has a great soundtrack. Here are some other songs from it:
"Son Of A Preacher Man" by Dusty Springfield
"You Never Can Tell" by Chuck Berry
"Girl, You'll Be A Woman Soon" - Urge Overkill
| Year | Song | Film | Comments |
| 1999 | You'll Be in My heart | Tarzan | Most of Tarzan's music was good. Funny, I had to go back to the 20th century for something I liked. And it beat out South Park. |
| 1997 | My Heart Will Go On | Titanic | ... but I'll whack my head with a tire iron if I hear it again. But I have memories of a 4-year-old singing along with the radio. |
| 1995 | Colors of the Wind | Pocahontas | Only good number from Pocahontas. They ruined Mel Gibson's song by giving most of it to David Ogden Stiers. |
| 1994 | Can You Feel the Love Tonight | The Lion King | Most of The Lion King was good. |
| 1993 | Streets of Philadelphia | Philadelphia | Horrible song. It was Bruce. It was AIDS. It was awful and dreary. |
| 1992 | A Whole New World | Aladdin | Aladdin had a good soundtrack even though it had TWO lyricists. Loved Robin Williams' songs. |
| 1991 | Beauty and the Beast | Beauty and the Beast | Beauty and the Beast raised the bar |
| 1989 | Under the Sea | The Little Mermaid | The Little Mermaid set the standard |
| 1986 | Take My Breath Away | Top Gun | This was probably my least favorite hit from Top Gun |
| 1969 | Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head | Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid | Just to show that it isn't all about the new stuff ... |
| 1967 | Talk to the Animals | Doctor Doolittle | Well, wouldn't you? |
| 1964 | Chim Chim Cheree | Mary Poppins | Back to Disney, back when they knew how to write them. |
| 1944 | Swingin' On A Star | Going My Way | Sorry, but it's Too Ra Loo Ra Loo Ral that really gets you. |
| 1942 | White Christmas | Holiday Inn | . |
| 1940 | When You Wish Upon A Star | Pinocchio | . |
| 1939 | Over the Rainbow | The Wizard of Oz | or Follow the Yellow Brick Road or If I Only Had a Brain ... |

The funny thing is that there are some songs that I recognize (on the original list) that I didn't realize (or remember) came from movies. And there are movies that make you scratch your head and say, "There was music in that?"
BTW: you left out "Let It Be", (album version ---way better than the single), not to mention "Yellow Submarine"
What was for dinner tonight.
The first two that come to mind for me are:
1. The Last Of The Mohicans - “I Will Find You”
2. JFK - “Prologue”
