On That Note: Sittin' in the Balcony

[CycloneRulzzz]

Welcome back to On That Note, a music excursion hosted by @MeanDean, @cyclones500 and CycloneRulzzz.

This week, our focus is on individual songs that are highly associated with the movie it was in. For the most part we are restricting it to one song per movie although as I will provide there can be an exception or two.

Suggested Format

Movie Title

Song Title

Song Clip

I will start this off with one a few exceptions. Rocky's is obviously has it's own theme song in Gonna Fly Now but I believe Eye of the Tiger is as equally well known to the Rocky franchise as Gonna Fly Now.

I'll play. Apocalypse Now and The End by the Doors. Maybe 2nd fiddle to Wagner in the same movie to most but I was a big Doors guy back in the day.

“Hair”

---> Using 2 here (or 3, I guess)

Most prominent songs associated with the movie (medley version)

“Aquarius”/The Flesh Failures (Let the Sunshine In)” The 5th Dimension





“Hair,” The Cowsills --- the title track. Partly nostalgia — I inherited the 45 from my family collection.

I polled my spouse and stepdaughter a few hours ago about this week's topic, and "Don't You Forget About Me" was one of the first songs they mentioned.

Say Anything

Nice. We were discussing this in our PM's. The boombox scene is very famous but wasn't sure how many remember the song playing from it.

 

[CycloneRulzzz]

The song many despise but has had a resurgence with the clips to sports videos.

Titanic "My heart wil go on"

 

[BoxsterCy]

Risky Business and In the Air Tonight by Phil Collins. One of the hottest non-nude sex scenes ever. Can't think of that movie without thinking of the song.
