Damn, It Feels Good to be a Gangsta: A Pop-Culture Mix Tape
This is a great article about some movie-moment songs that you still associate with certain scenes even when you hear the song played years later. We all have our favorites. Ones I particularly agree with (from the article) are:
- Don’t You (Forget about Me), Simple Minds from The Breakfast Club
- Mad World, Michael Andrews & Gary Jules from Donnie Darko
- How to Save a Life, The Fray from Scrubs “My Lunch” (great song and episode)
- Wise Up, Aimee Mann from Magnolia
And a few more that I can think of off-hand:
- In Your Eyes, Peter Gabriel from Say Anything
- You’ve Lost That Lovin’ Feeling, Righteous Brothers from Top Gun
- If You Leave, OMD from Pretty in Pink (I’m a John Hughes fan, duh)
- What a Feeling, Irene Cara from Flashdance
- Time of My Life, Bill Medley & Jennifer Warnes from Dirty Dancing
