some songs can't be decoupled from a TV/movie scene

the obvious one is the friends theme "I'll be there for you" (not sure who sings that)

I can't hear Dylan's "Man in me" without thinking of the opening to Lebowski

Whenever I hear "nights of broadway" by the bee gees I always think of the jimmy fallon SNL skit

The joan jett 'don't give a damn about my bad reputation" song will always make me think of the opening to freaks and geeks

fear the reaper by BOC takes me to SNL cowbell

Are there others?

just thought about 'let's get in on' when dr evil and frau farbisina get after it

American Girl - Tom Petty

"Goodbye Horses" by Q Lazarus. Everybody probably even does the dance that goes with it.

---

That actually reminds me more of Clerks 2.

Racer X - good one

I'm so Excited - Pointer Sisters



edit to add: Summer Lovers; I think it played every night on Showtime when I was a teen.

Summer Lovers.

wow, never heard of that movie. Daryl Hannah right before she became famous with Splash.

Looks like the other lady died a few years after this movie in a car crash

The piano outro to Layla reminds me of the montage of murders at the end of Goodfellas.

Stuck In The Middle With You reminds me of the ear removal scene from Reservoir Dogs.

---

These two also were the first for me to remember. I can't hardly enjoy Stuck anymore because of the visual images that come to mind.

Still gives me chills

Tiny Dancer - Almost Famous

swc93 - what movie is that?

Another one came to mind: "holiday road" and vacation

---

Probably because it was written for the movie.

With or Without You by U2, and the last episode of The Americans.

Send me an angel - The Wizard: hitchhiking along the highway
Cry little sister - lost boys: amping up to kill all the ******* vampires
We will rock you - mighty ducks 2: Iceland game

The cops have the red BMW surrounded, inside the man slowly pulls out his last cigarette knowing this is the end. The piano and soft vocals of Suede's "The Next Life" are playing as he stares straight ahead but not directly at the camera...

Any time I look at a sunset, a crescendoing John Williams soundtrack plays in my head as I wonder, where is the second sun.

true, but I heard holiday road on the radio the other day and all I could think of was the opening credits to vacation.

I thought of another - "Something tells me I'm into something good" by herman's hermits. Can anyone guess the movie?

Naked Gun: From the files of Police Squad

good call, tk

This one is far too niche--the "voice mail menu" tone when you're using Microsoft Exchange unified communications sounds just like the song from the end of DUNE.

Owwwwwn heat beatin
Owwwwwn heart beatin

I'm alright, nobody worry bout me
