8 Movies That Got Songs Stuck In Your Head

Stalk us on Facebook and Twitter or grab the RSS Feed

I’m going to pull back the curtain a bit before we dive into this list.  At first I started writing this list as “X shitty songs made huge by movies”.  Then I started to watch the Roller Coaster finger bang scene from Fear and thought to myself “this song isn’t as shitty as I remember”.  By the way, if you ever get asked if you have a song preference whilst finger banging, it should be this song.  From here we decided to compile a list of songs that got stuck in our heads after watching a movie.   In other words, my maturity level is so low that I re-wrote an entire list, just so I could add a finger bang scene. You’re welcome.

8) Eurotrip (Lustra – Scotty Doesn’t Know) – Poor Scotty learns that his girlfriend has been banging Matt Damon all along.  The only people who didn’t end up putting this on repeat are the ones whos girlfriends are “working late” again (at the coffee shop).

7)  Orange County (Crazy Town – Butterfly) – What happened to this band?  When you go from making head banging songs like Toxic to teeny bopper beats like Butterfly you’re going to lose some fans (by some I mean all).  It also doesn’t help when you’re in rehab with Dr. Drew, yet still scoring smack infront of the cameras.

6) Titanic (Celine Dion – My Heart Will Go On) – This song is horrible.  However, the point of the list is ’songs that got stuck in your head’.  I don’t care if you eat the bark off of trees and kill animals for dinner, if you were around in the late 90’s then you were exposed to the masses who flocked around this movie.

5) Terminator 2 (Guns n’ Roses – You Could Be Mine) – This song was played during the credits.  But after watching T2 for the first time, you’re so floored by what you just saw, that its almost certain you sat through the credits at least once.  Thus, getting this badass GnR tune stuck in your head.

4) Armageddon (Aerosmith – I Don’t Wanna Miss A Thing) – I’m willing to bet that if you traveled back in time when this movie was still in Theaters you’d hear it within 30 minutes of turning on the radio.  Mediocre song + smash hit movie = smash hit song.

3) Gone In 60 Seconds (BT – Never Gonna Come Back Down) – Sadly they only used the instrumental version of this song when they played it during the movie.  Thankfully it was just enough to spawn thousands of “omg whats that techo song in GI 60 seconds!?” forum threads.  This was naturally countered with replies like “sigh I liked BT waaay before he was main stream”.  I always get a kick out of people who have to prove their hardcoreness by claiming they liked bands or DJ’s before they had a smash hit.

2) Top Gun (Kenny Loggins – Highway To The Dangerzone) – Every man in the world can quote a dozen lines from Top Gun.  When you watch Top Gun, this song is permanently printed into your brain along with all of the quotes from the movie.  That means; whenever you hear this song, your brain will automatically start quoting Top Gun.  Don’t believe me?  Click play.

1) Fear (The Sundays – Wild Horses) – Reese Witherspoon gets finger banged on a roller coaster by Marky Mark.  That is all.

    You’re missing the worst one of all: goddamn Caddyshack, with that goddamn I’m Alright song that they play a dozen goddamn times. All someone has to do is mention that movie and that song’s in my head for days.

    You get Never Gonna Come Back Down stuck in your head from Gone In 60 Seconds? I always get the intro song stuck in my head for at least the rest of the movie, if not the rest of the day when I watch it.

    I know it’s pretty recent, but did anyone see the trailer for Pineapple Express and not have MIA “Paper Planes” stuck in their head? I think it’s gotta be on the list. Good look on “Scotty Doesn’t Know.”

    All good ideas – In hindsight pixies should have been thrown in there http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BDcjemEqr1o and maybe some breakfast club.

    This is why I don’t name our lists “top 10, or top 8″ anymore. Using only a number makes it just a list, not a “best” list.

    PS – Drop the youtube links w/ the songs that got stuck in your head so I can watch them tomorrow.

    Please.

    One of the worst offenders is in National Lampoon’s Vacation and National Lampoon’s European Vacation.

    Lyndsay Buckinham’s Holiday Road. Why? Because here are the lyrics

    I found out long ago
    It’s a long way down the Holiday Road

    Holiday Road
    Holiday Road

    Jack be nible, Jack be quick
    Take a ride on a West Coast kick

    Holiday Road
    Holiday Road
    Holiday Road
    Holiday Road

    I’ve come back long ago
    Long way down the Holiday Road

    Holiday Road
    Holiday Road
    Holiday Road
    Holiday Road

    You cannot but get Holiday Road in your head.

    I can’t stop listening to Bubble Toy “This One” from the club scene in Bangkok Dangerous. It’s mostly the girls from the movie that are stuck in my head, but also the song is catchy.

    Several songs from “Ferris Bueller” are cemented in my brain, but by far the worst is the closing song by Yello “Oh Yeah”.

    Toxic is on the same album as Butterfly if I remember correctly and is a track or two after Butterfly. The band is still together, they are putting out a new album called “Crazy Town Is Back”. It was originally slated for 2008 but with Seth’s (Shifty) relapse and all I’m sure this played a part in it not being released yet.

    The gayest most addictive song, a sugary coated girl-sung ballad, which stuck in the head of anyone who had to see the movie or even the damn trailer as a television commercial.
    Kiss Me – Six Pence None the Richer
    It has been in a ton of movies because it is the ubiquitous track of cotton candy love.

    From wikipedia:
    “Kiss Me” has been featured in a number of motion pictures (She’s All That, Not Another Teen Movie – during a scene that parodied its use in She’s All That, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, Be Cool), Practical Magic and TV shows (Dawson’s Creek, Saturday Night Live, MTV’s The Real World, The Young and the Restless, Days of our Lives, 7th Heaven, Daria in Episode 304, “Daria Dance Party” at the dance, Verliebt in Berlin in final of the season 1 for the wedding of Lisa and many other TV shows).
