"Big Bottom," from Spinal Tap. :cool:
All I can say is that I'm mortified that Celine Dion is not on the list. :cry:

BTW, there's a new TV ad featuring Survivor (it's a hoot). Here's blurb about it from adtunes.com (http://adtunes.com/):
Embracing a "life's soundtrack" creative direction, a new DoubleShot Expresso TV ad from Starbucks features a 80s rock tune familiar to Rocky fans and workout music listeners everywhere. The "Glen" TV commercial opens with a man in his kitchen having a DoubleShot drink, only to have the band Survivor appear in his living room chanting "Glen! Glen Glen Glen!". The band continues to follow him throughout his morning, offering a personalized version of their Rocky III soundtrack anthem "Eye of the Tiger". New lyrics include: "Middle management is right in his grasp. It's a dream he will never let die." (Somewhat related 80s music note: The ad features actual members of the band Survivor, including lead singer Jimi Jamison. The band's original lead singer, Dave Bickler, is the singing voice behind Bud Light's "Real Men of Genius" tv ads.)
I had no idea the singer in the Bud Light spots was the former lead for Survivor. Learned something new, time to go home. :)

Which song was that? I like the Dire Straits one they play with all the in car footage. "Once Upon a Time in the West" is what its called, but in Super Speedway theres no lyrics. I have it on my Winamp playlist, and everytime it comes on I think of Super Speedway and then get sad thinking about the good ol' days.

It was bad enough she kept popping up during the show, I had to keep changing the channel.

Blue Velvet. The film and the song. :thumbup:
One of my all time favorite movies is "Drug Store Cowboy" which I was thinking about tonight. Desmond Dekkard (sp) I bought the album with the Isrealites on it
Tarentino movies have great soundtracks, I just bought Kill Bill, and enjoy it

Does 'The Wall' count? It was a movie made after the song.
"so ya, thought ya, might like to go to the show." "To feel the warm thrill of confusion that space cadet glow" "well I've got some bad news for you , sunshine, Pink isn't well he stayed back at the hotel and they sent us along as a surrogate band. We're gonna find out where you fans really stand!"
Yes, that's from memory. So if a word or two is off...
A very 'Bowieesque' verse isn't it?

"Is there a Tony George in the spotlight tonight? Get him up against the wall!"
"There he is in the corner. He don't look right to me! Get him up against the wall!"

"And that one looks Texan! Who let all this riff-raff into the track! There's one snorting some coke! And another one with (liver) spots! If I had my way, I'd have all of them shot!"
Hehehehe... this has possibilities, don't ya think?
Since about half the movie trailers made in the past 10 years have used James Brown's "I Feel Good," you'd think that was the best song in the history of the world, period. :rolleyes:

Dammit, r2c, you made me listen to the whole album, er... CD (not that there's anything wrong with that). Bootleg of "The Wall" live. It it's still playing and I've had goosebumps for about an hour now. What a show that must have been...

Singing In The Rain was a movie? ;) I always related it to A Clockwork Orange.
I'd have to include Bobby Womack's Across 110th Street from Jackie Brown.

I love that movie! I honestly don't think I've known anyone else that's seen it.
Whenever my Wife does it, I always yell at her "Don't leave the hat on the bed!!"

And from the IRL marketing department,
Is there anybody out there?
Where is "Uncle F****er" from the South Park movie?
Oh dear, don't get me started w/songs from the South Park movie...
Sheila: Times have changed
Our kids are kids are getting worse
They won't obey their parents
They just want to fart and curse!
Sharon: Should we blame the government?
Liane: Or blame society?
Dads: Or should we blame the images on TV?
Sheila: No, blame Canada
Everyone: Blame Canada
Sheila: With all their beady little eyes
And flappin' heads so full of lies
Everyone: Blame Canada
Blame Canada
Sheila: We need to form a full assault
Everyone: It's Canada's fault!
Sharon: Don't blame me
For my son Stan
He saw the darn cartoon
And now he's off to join the Klan!
Liane: And my boy Eric once
Had my picture on his shelf
But now when I see him he tells me to **** myself!
Sheila: Well, blame Canada
Everyone: Blame Canada
It seems that everything's gone wrong
Since Canada came along
Everyone: Blame Canada
Blame Canada
Copy Guy: They're not even a real country anyway
Ms. McCormick: My son could've been a doctor or a lawyer, it's a-true
Instead he burned up like a piggy on a barbecue
Everyone: Should we blame the matches?
Should we blame the fire?
Or the doctors who allowed him to expire?
Sheila: Heck no!
Everyone: Blame Canada
Blame Canada
Sheila: With all their hockey hubbabaloo
Liane: And that bitch Anne Murray too
Everyone: Blame Canada
Shame on Canada
The smut we must stop
The trash we must smash
Laughter and fun
must all be undone
We must blame them and cause a fuss
Before someone thinks of blaming uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuus
:thumbup: :thumbup:
No offense, eh? ;)
