in the closing credits of Time Bandits. Harrison was co-executive producer of the film. One of my favorites from my childhood and have always enjoyed the song (though candidly never heard it anywhere else). George Harrison - Only a Dream Away - ( New Window )

That's one of my favorite Harrison sonvs and movies.

I Melt With You.....Valley Girl
One Bad Stud.......Streets of Fire
Come Go With Me......American Hot Wax
We'll Meet Again.....Dr. Strangelove

Theme song for the original part of The Patriot (Amazon):
Vashti Bunyan - Train Song (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AGD78mWcss&list=PL023ADD05DB6C6BD6 ) [Sorry: don't know how to paste a link.]

Nice!

The Queen of Soul in the Blues Brothers.

over the close of Shampoo. "Feel Flows" over the close of Almost Famous. Like Mother like Daughter...

But the opening bass line to Sweet Emotion to start Dazed & Confused is classic to me.

that's a better one. I first thought of Come on, Let's Go from La Bamba when they keep recording the same song over and over again.

joplin - the entertainer from The Sting and A Summer's Place theme.

from Stand By Me.

It made the song popular again, 25 years (?) after it was released.

just read recent Paul Simon biography.... interesting read ... Simon sat down with the author for interviews which always makes for a much better biography

Mike Nichols was listening to Simon and Garfunkel during the making of Graduate and went to them about adding songs for the move
Simon has a half finished song called "Mrs Roosevelt" when Nichols heard it he immediately wanted for the film .. when Simon said .. this doesn't make any sense for this movie Nichols said just change the name to Mrs Robinson and it works perfectly .


Paul Simon: The Life by Robert Hilburn - ( New Window )

Even though it's the end credits music, not in any scene, FMJ is what I think of when I hear Paint It Black.

On days like these. Matt Monro. Great lyrics!

for this thread.

Louie Louie, Hey Hey Paula (that's a real song, right?), Shout, maybe even more.

You can barely go to a wedding where they play shout and not have people imitate the toga party scene from Animal House.

uses music prominently in his movies but that Dick Dale surf guitar song (Miserlou?) might as well just be called the Pulp Fiction theme song.

Big Chill
Bull Durham
Stand by Me
The Flamingo Kid

I like oldies...
