Music in films, that isn't made for the film, but makes you think of the film.

[Sebastian Cobb]

Had the radio on earlier and heard The First Edition - Just Dropped In (to see what Condition my Condition was in) and realised I can't really separate that song from the Big Lebowski any more. There must be others, where the song was well established and not designed for the film but it reminds you of it.

I think The Brothers Johnson - Strawberry Letter #23 and Jackie Brown might be another one - maybe The Delphonics is more obvious in that one, but it feels a little too prominent to make the bil.

Also Sprach Zarathustra will forevermore be the 2001 music.

[Lungpuddle]

Dry the Rain and High Fidelity is probably too obvious, but how about Blister in the Sun and Grosse Pointe Blank? The latter has a vastly superior soundtrack, now that I think about it.

High Fidelity put me on to The Beta Band, which I'll leave up to the reader to decide whether that was an ultimately positive thing.

It also pretty much directly led to iCarly via School of Rock. Swings and roundabouts.

[An tSaoi]

Misirlou and Pulp Fiction is an obvious one. In fact, you could list almost any Tarantino film multiple times.

Cheating a bit, but O Fortuna and The Omen, even though it's not used in the film at all. Where does that confusion come from anyway? Only Fools and Horses?

[bgmnts]

Clubbed to Death and The Matrix.

Thought I was going to see The Beta Band but because I misread the flyer it turned out it was just a dj set from one of them.

Place had a Morrocan booth type set-up, and at one point in the evening I turned to look at a pal and ended up stubbing the side of my grade 1 bonce on his cig. The more I think about it, the more I should be annoyed with them really.

[Bad Ambassador]

Starálfur by Sigur Rós from The Life Aquatic.

[Deliciousbass]

Heaven 17's Temptation always makes me think of the nightlcub scene in Trainspotting - for some reason moreso than other songs in that film. I can listen to Perfect Day and Lust for Life without the association, but Temptation always puts me in mind of a heroin-withdrawn induced horniness.

If Tv counts too - can't hear don't stop believing without a sense of churning dread thanks to Sopranos.

[Fr.Bigley]

Pixies. Fight club.
Simple minds. Breakfast club.
Huey Lewis. BTTF.
Black lace. Shindlers list.

[Sebastian Cobb]

On the Sopranos tip, in the unlikely event I happen to hear the Chi-Lites, I will definitely think of this moment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XMw7b4ltJtk

Huey Lewis. BTTF.

Those songs were written for the films. Huey Lewis and American Psycho on the other hand...

[non capisco]

You try telling me you don't hear someone putting 'The Lookout Is Out' by Cook Da Books on the jukebox without immediately thinking of the animated straight to VHS adaptation of 'Asterix In Britain'.

[Fr.Bigley]

Agadoo was written for the film?

[phantom_power]

Starálfur by Sigur Rós from The Life Aquatic.

With me it is The Way I Feel Inside for that film

And for Grosse Point Blank it is Blank Expression by The Specials (You cyant come in)

And Big Lebowski is The Man in Me by Bob Dylan

Needle in the Hay by Elliott Smith reminds me of that scene in The Royal Tenenbaums

[kalowski]

It's Too Late to Turn Back Now and BlackkKlansman

In 1994, I once schlepped all the way to London from Sussex expecting to see Ultramarine live on stage (with me also naively presumptuously thinking Robert Wyatt would be guesting).  Got in the venue at 7:30. It was just a club night with one member of the duo doing a DJ set who came on at 10:30. I listened to him play some anonymous club tracks for fifteen minutes and then had to leave early to get the last train home. The whole evening cost me around £50. I was fuming.

[Brundle-Fly]

The whistling melody has now become synonymous with the Kill Bill movies but it was half-inched from Twisted Nerve (1969). Bernard Hermann had specifically written that as the theme tune for the psychotic 'Georgie' not these bozos. Get your own unnerving musical motif, Tarantino. It's one thing appropriating old pop records but using cues from other people's film scores? It should be illegal. I'm looking at you American Horror Story too.

Delphonics for me, Clive.

The piano coda from Layla always makes my mind replay the everything's-gone-tits-up montage in Goodfellows.

Also, 'Atlantis' by Donovan when they are knocking the shit out of Billy Batts.

[Fr.Bigley]

Everything jefferson airplane, ccr, Jackson brown and Fleetwood mac...Forest Gump.

[jobotic]

Every time I hear Dancing Queen I want to shout "Goodbye Porpoise Spit!"

[phantom_power]

And Monkey Man and Jump Into The Fire when he is all para looking for the police helicopters

That song they all dance to in Boogie Nights. Is it Machine Gun by The Commodores?

[AsparagusTrevor]

The Spinners Rubberband Man -> Infinity War.

Similarly, 'Come and Get Your Love' for 'Guardians of the Galaxy'.

Stuck In The Middle With You.

"Joe Egan and Gerry Rafferty were a duo known as Stealer's Wheel
When they recorded this Dylanesque, pop, bubble-gum favorite from April of 1974.
That reached up to number five, as K-Billy's Super Sounds of the Seventies continues."

Many years ago, I was at a party where most of the men were in attendance were wearing Reservoir Dogs chic (black suit, white shirt, black tie, sunglasses). It wasn't a film themed party or anything, just a dress smart party and almost all the blokes turned up looking identical. Anyway, Stuck In The Middle With You comes on and I, showing off of course, decided to recreate the iconic scene from the film. I made the host of the party sit down in a chair as I danced around before pretending to cut his ear off with an plastic knife. I then squeezed ketchup, as a blood substitute, all over his ear and dribbled some down onto his shirt and jacket. Everyone laughed.

Cut forward a few days later and I was hanging out with the party host and he asked what that thing with the ketchup was all about. He'd never seen Reservoir Dogs.

The Village Green Preservation Society in Hot Fuzz. Perfect fit.

[Claude the Racecar Driving Rockstar Super Sleuth]

Born to Be Wild and Easy Rider

Similarly, 'Come and Get Your Love' for 'Guardians of the Galaxy'.

It seemed a bit odd for it to also be used on the opening titles of that Bill Burr cartoon after that.

Sweeeeeeeeeet Gene Vincent.
