Songs that make you think of movie scenes

[DiO'Bolic]

I heard the Beatles “Twist and Shout” the other day. My thoughts immediately went to the parade scene in Ferris Bueller's Day Off.

Do you have any songs you can't hear without thinking of a movie scene?

Every time I hear Stuck in the Middle with You by Steeler's Wheel I automatically think of the torture scene in Reservoir Dogs

Moving In Stereo makes me think of Phoebe Cates in Fast Times At Ridgemont High.

Blue Öyster Cult’s (Don't Fear) The Reaper… Opening from The Stand.

Blue Öyster Cult’s (Don't Fear) The Reaper… Opening from The Stand.

That is exactly what I was going to say.

That is exactly what I was going to say.

One of the best opening scenes with almost perfect music to set the tone... IMO.

I mentioned Tiny Dancer by Elton John to the wife and noted the bus scene in Almost Famous. She countered with the Friends' 'Hold me closer, Tony Danza' scene.

“You Never can Tell”-Chuck Berry, makes me think of the twist scene from Pulp Fiction

“Fortunate Son”-CCR, used in every vietnam movie on the face of the earth

'Chopsticks' reminds me of 'My Three Sons' (a TV series).

I think of Better off Dead whenever I hear Everybody Wants Some! by Van Halen.

 

[Tery]

That is exactly what I was going to say.

Me too. Definitely a master example of marrying song and scene.

I didn't even like Lady Gaga before this remake came out. She actually looks better with her natural hair and no makeup.
