Songs you like after seeing them in a movie (film, scene, family)

[dano04631]

I mean songs that you were already familiar with and either disliked or were indifferent to until you heard them in a movie you liked.

I have two that I can think of off the top of my head:

Flowers on the Wall by the Statler Brothers from Pulp Fiction
A Swingin' Safari by the Billy Vaughn Orchestra from Mary & Max

It seems to help some songs to listen to them in a new light.

I guess I should have titled this
"Songs you like after hearing them in a movie"

"The End" by the Doors played as the intro song to Apocalypse Now.
Perfect song for the Vietnam War and when you got on the plane for that long flight to Saigon your head kept telling you "This is the end."
Also, one of my favorite lines was "I love the smell of Napalm in the morning !"
That is why I want to be cremated when my time comes. Ha
