Have a generic cuddly toy

:D ok, try this: Moby - Porcelain

Methinks it's time for a hint

The Beach?

ok, the song is a true wonder, shame about the film. I dont know if it featured in the film itself, but was used for the trailer. So any film that showed the trailer would give you that song.

So does that mean I'm wrong or right? Maybe you didn't see my response before replying to DS...

:confused:

lol, just saw. You are 100% correct. :thumb:

Alrighty then...

Bounce Wit' Me (Can I Get A...) - Jay-Z

[ September 23, 2006, 01:29: Message edited by: Death Rabbit ]

Striptease :D

Nope. It may have been in the movie, but I don't recall it and it's not the one I'm thinking of. In fact, I'm pretty sure Striptease came out a few years before this song...

Well DS suggested a film which I havent seen. Men in black 2?

Nope. This song is distinctly listened to in a scene taking place in a car.

Hint please, got no clue here.

Well seeing as this game is going nowhere, when I get up tomorrow I'll have to IJ.

Sorry - been busy.

It's from a fairly recent film that's become a popular series, with another installment coming out next year.

i'm sorry DR but you've posterd a film, for me, that I have no ciue towards. Might never have seen it either.

Wedding Crashers?

Ok, last hint: it's an odd couple/buddy cop/fish out of water kind of movie.

The Man?

For some reason, my answer I posted here before isn't here anymore - freaky. Anyway, The Man is incorrect, but I noted in my post that I goofed the title of the song a little bit. It's actually:

Bounce Wit' Me (Can I Get A...) - Jay-Z

I don't know if that makes much of a difference. I noted the change above as well.

Well, hasn't helped any at all. No point asking for yet another hint either as this has gone on far too long with nobody able to guess. I HAVE to IJ. soz DR but needs to be done. To get it moving again: Roxette - It must have been love

Crap, only revisited this now. DR, what movie was it from? I only recognized the title one you added the "Can I get a" part. I used to love that song. Was it Rush Hour?

Pretty Woman?

Indeed it is DS. Here is a cuddly bear to play with.

Woohoo

EDIT: Enag's go as he got DR's correct

[ September 26, 2006, 16:47: Message edited by: DarkStrider ]

Enagonius was right about mine, if anyone cares. :)

Oh in that case he can go

I've seen Rush hour, but that song didnt stand out. That was more like my coldplay - clocks example of how not to set films linked to songs. Unless it was written for that film or if the artist apeared briefly in that film: :nono:

oh, well i was willing to let DS have it but here goes, a VERY easy one.

Vanessa Carlton - A thousand miles

Well as it's a chick song it must be from some kind of chick flick, therefore damned if I know :xx:

@ Takara...three things.

One: "Don't you EVA touch a black man's radio, boy!" That was a pretty standout scene.

Two: It was the hit song from that movie's soundtrack. It appeared on the soundtrack before it appeared on a Jay-Z album, so it's safe to say it was meant for the movie.

Three: Half the songs in this entire game fit the category of "it was barely in the movie." Still doesn't mean it's not closely associated with it.

Things like stealers wheel was a very stand out song from resevoir dogs. Two point sounds like rule 1, which means it was tough, but perfectly valid. So no worries DR.

One: "Don't you EVA touch a black man's radio, boy!" That was a pretty standout sceneThat is one of my favorite moves, and I was going to guess Rush Hour, but I never knew the name of the song in that scene. DAMN!

Vanessa Carlton - A thousand Miles

White Chicks?

Hmmm, I think it's gonna take some time before Enags can come back. Metro Manila had been struck by a nasty typhoon last Thursday. It knocked out most of the electricity in MM and nearby provinces. I got my power restored only yesterday. Chances are Enag's must be in one of those zones that are still in the dark. Let's just hope that his problem is only the electricity 'cause I've seen a lot of floodings and damages to houses too.

And maybe someone who likes to invoke IJ... nows the time.

*Ting* IJA

Dig this vibe - DJ Krush

DS got there first. ;)

Ok hint time, obviously a night club scene, first film of a trilogy (and the best)

Blade?


Anyways, Nior was right on both counts: a) i only got power back yesterday after losing it on thursday and b) it was indeed White Chicks.

@DR

I love "Can I get a" and I agree that it wasn't exactly "barely in the movie" but imo that song "War" was more prominent in it. They had that whole scene where they were dancing and showing each other moves outside the Chinese resto and at the end, that's what Jackie started singing before they rolled the credits.

Right on Enag, Blade it is it starts as the blood comes through the sprinklers and Blade appears...

Awesome, purely a guess :D

"Dont Fear the Reaper" - The Mutton Birds

okay, I guess this needs a hint :o

If you've seen the movie, you'd know the song as it's played in the last scene continuing on to the credits.

Also, it's the only non-instrumental-composed-for-the-movie song in the whole soundtrack.

And the title of the song is VERY appropriate considering the movie.

Nice observation to post clues like those Enags but it didn't help me much. :(

righteo, I guess I was a bit too obscure with this one. Anyways, the answer was "The Frighteners", a totally awesome movie with Michael J. Fox doing a character out of his usual comedy genre. I'll give it away now.

Survivor - Eye of the Tiger

First to see it, gets it ;)

Rocky

Rocky II?

Rocky III, actually

So much for "first to see, gets it"!

"Eye of the Tiger" starring Gary Busey :grin:

Here's the link. Eye of the Tiger (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091027/)

Heck, I even saw that movie back then. :D

Well, I know I'm right, so:

Gangsta's Paradise.

Dangerous Minds? That is one of only 2 non Star Wars / Lord of the Rings movie sound tracks that I own (the other being The Karate Kid).

That is correct. My wife went out and bought the Coolio CD with the song and it sits gathering dust because she doesn't like any other songs on it.

Yeah, the rest of the CD is rubbish. I'm not sure what sort of fit of temporary madness possessed me to buy it.

Um, how about "Why Can't We Be Friends?" Not sure if this qualifies as associated, but I saw it in a trailer as well as in the movie so *I* associate it with this film.

The Break-Up?

No, but just as recent.

Any chance of another hint? I know I've seen a trailer playing this movie fairly recently, just can't remember..

This is a sequel to a film that came out about 2-3 years ago. The song "Why Can't We Be Friends?" is kind of relevant to the main plot line in that there is a lot of unnecessary rivalry going on.

Childhood rivals, who continue to be rivals as adults?

ah! Cheaper by the Dozen 2?

Hooray. That only took 8 days. Your turn, Enagonios.

i think this is a remake so i'm posting the artist credit as the one that sang the version for the movie.

"Another brick in the wall" by Class of '99.

Hmm...just saw this. Of course it's a cover -- don't be ridiculous.

The original artist is Pink Floyd from (of all things) 'The Wall.' It has been used in 'Pink Floyd The Wall' movie (starring Nobel Laureate Sir Bob Geldof), 'The Wall: Live in Berlin' (which had a quite a cast), and in it's the least impressive rendition (sorry, but the Class of '99 just isn't Pink Floyd) 'The Faculty'.

Well, I don't like the song anyway so there :p your turn

Dead Man's Party -- Oingo Boingo.

Edit: I thought this would be a fast one -- I guess there aren't many Rodney Dangerfield fans at SP....

[ November 09, 2006, 16:30: Message edited by: T2Bruno ]

Wow, not any takers -- Back to School was almost required viewing when I was in college (along with that other ancient comedy 'Animal House').

Okay, first one with an answer to 'Over the Rainbow' by Judy Garland can take it. I won't be on over the weekend to verify the correct answer.

woohoo! the wizard of oz, right? someone confirm if i'm right please.

Good lord, no one needs that confirmed. Just post something.

fine fine :D

Haddaway - What is love :D

wow, I killed it :/ okay, hint time. This movie's 2 main stars were both (at the time) cast members of Saturday Night Live (SNL).

Old School?

nope. okay, major hintage time (actually kinda funny considering HB's post :D ) but did NOBODY see any Pre-Old School Will Ferrell movie?? :p

Looks like it's still dead -- perhaps you should choose another movie song....

sorry I'm only back on this now guys, it's been pretty busy at work. I hate being an intern.

Anyway, I don't have one on me now so it's up for grabs to the first guy to take it.

btw, the movie was A Night at the Roxbury.

Tis the season so an easy one here... but the original movie it appeared in please (it has been in several):

Edit: Sorry about the lyrics posted here... the song is White Christmas by Bing Crosby (hint: the Movie 'White Christmas' was the second movie with the song).

[ December 04, 2006, 23:06: Message edited by: T2Bruno ]

Alright fine...

How about 'Talk to the Animals' Sung by Rex Harrison.

Doctor Doolittle?

Your turn HB.

"The Moment of Truth" by Survivor.

That's 'Karate Kid'

Your turn, Barmy Army San.

"Angel" by Massive Attack

hint?

I just did a search and found Angel (by Massive Attack) in NINE movies. Perhaps the rest of the masses need another hint to narrow the possibilities.

****in' in the bushes - Oasis

Oversee - Supermoves

You should get it now.

I see this game has died a death! :cry: Time to restart it.

Maria McKee - show me heaven

8 Seconds?

Days of Thunder?

Yup, you got it. Go Ironhawk. :)

Eh... okay.

Grace Jones - I've Seen That Face Before

Doesn't ring any bells for me. Hint?

Okay.

Harrison Ford.

Frantic?

nior got it.

Your turn.

Only Time by Enya

Lord of the Rings?

"Sweet November"?

steel general got it.

OK, it looks like I dropped the ball a bit here. Here we go...

"Try A Little Tenderness" - Andrew Strong

The Commitments

I loved the scene in Bull Durham with it....

Young girls don't get wolly, they get wearied.

You are correct S.A. your go...

okay, here ya go

Hey Pachuco - Royal Crown Revue

The Mask

nope, try again

Hint please.

another song in it is Young at Heart - Daniel Fay

Hint?

Sales movie from the late 90's.

Nope, not helping. What is a sales movie? About a guy/girl selling windows?

OK, time for a SERIOUS hint. This film rings no bells at all with anybody it seems. I've no idea on the songs either. This film obviously eludes us all.

Danny Devito is in it.

The only Devito film from the 90s that I can think of that could fit the bill is The Big Kahuna but I have no idea what music was in it.

That'd be the movie

Heh, that's why I had no clue. Not seen it.

Uh oh, I am almost completely ignorant about modern music. This one should be pretty easy.

The Lonely Shepherd - Zamfir

Another one from the same film would be

Bang Bang - the Nancy Sinatra version.

Kill Bill?

You got it Shadow Assassin.

Bodies - Drowning Pool
and
Down With the Sickness - Disturbed

hmm, nobody yet?
also includes:
Sinner - Drowning Pool
Last Resort - Papa Roach

edit:
since nobody seems to have a clue, those were from The One
new song

System - Chester Bennington

[ April 26, 2007, 03:16: Message edited by: Shadow Assassin ]

Queen of the Damned?

yes. your go.

Gonna Fly Now - Bill Conti

Do dooo do - Rocky!

:lol: Run up those steps of the Philidelphia Museum of Art.

Another IJA (sorry HB):

Soul Bossa Nova - Quincy Jones

Austin Powers!

Yeah, baby. :D

Hmmmmm I think....

Madonna - Beautiful stranger

lol, Austin Powers The Spy Who Shagged Me
decided to just go with the sequel, did we?

Well I would've used a song from the first one too, but it featured in another film too so can't be allowed. So sequel it was. :p

Livin the Life - Steel Dragon

Yet again I have no clue on the song. How is this linked to the film, made for the film, Singers starred in it cameo wise?

Steel Dragon is the band in the movie, not a real band.

Interesting, but still no help however.

If you've seen the movie more than once you'll know who Steel Dragon is.

Here's another hint Judas Priest

Closest I can think of, and it wont be, is Spinal Tap.

nope, not Spinal Tap, but I almost used that movie.

Major hint time as it's been a long time now.

I can't believe no one has guessed this one, especially with the Judas Priest hint

Mark Wahlberg is the hint

Umm, Boogie Nights? Still no clue really.

I'm pretty sure it's the movie that mirrors what happened to Ripper Owens, meaning that a guy singing in a tribute band gets to join the band they were covering. I think Jennifer Aniston's in it too.

But I'll be damned if I can remember the title.

Susipaisti is correct on what movie it is. The title is Rock Star. Steel Dragon is the name of the band that's supposed to represent Judas Priest in the movie. go ahead Susipaisti.

Angry Again by Megadeth

It's a movie about movies.

In the movie, this song plays in the opening credits of a fictional action movie.

I know it, but I answer to many of these, so if no one gets it, "I'll be back"
mini hint there.

The Last action hero? I'm only going on Shadow's mini hint.

That's the one.

Crikey, well i'd never had got it except for the hints.
Ok, Time after time by Mark Williams and Tara Morice. It's much better than the Cyndi original.

Strictly Ballroom, I think.

You were quick! Indeed it was. Tara Morice stars as the lead sctress and whilst they are dancing in front of the coca cola sign....... lovely.

Team March by Michael Boddiker

You got me on that one.

The name isn't well known, but when you hear it... :D

Hintage: played at the end credits of the 1984 movie.

I'm sure i'd get it if I heard it, but for now i'm stumped.

I think I'm the only other person that's actually seen that movie and I didn't know 'Team March' was part of the sound track until I looked it up.

Great question kuemper -- you might want to have another song in your back pocket when others raise the white flag too.

Last hinty: The song's title aptly describes what is going on in the end credits.

Rollerball? no clue really.

Nope, sorry.

I'll take my win and post the movie: The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension. Here's (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3WzB1Rtr7Q0) a link to the video of the end credits so you can hear the music.

A new and easier clue: Cleaning Up the Town by The Bus Boys.

Love these films, I certainly do! Ghostbusters. I can imagine them fleeing the library in Ghostbusters 1.

Get her! That was your big plan, Ray? :lol:

Takara wins the haunted turnip.

ok, here's one that shouldn't prove tricky

Enya - May it be

LotR, Fellowship of the Ring?

Indeed. Enya got an oscar nomination for it. Shame she didn't win.

I can't take it anymore! IJA!!!!

The Look of Love - Dusty Springfield

Only song I know called the look of love is by ABC, and no idea about this one.

This one was written by Burt Bacharach and Hal Davis.

Austin Pow-

nowait, that definitely wasn't Dusty Springfield, but Susanna Hoffs. (I remember her with Mike, Matthew Sweet and the rest of "Ming Tea" during the scene breaks, and that helped me recognize her voice)

Hmmm... :skeptic:

Bond. James Bond.

It was the theme song to Casino Royale (original version).

Have a martini, T2.

My favorite line from the second CR:

Waiter: 'Would you like that shaken or stirred?'

Bond: 'Do I look like I give a damn.'

Next show tune...

'Do You Love Me?' -- performed by actor(s) in the film.

Well I know the song by the contours but was it sung by actors in a film? tricky.

oops, sorry, never win this game so i forgot to check :doh:

about the new one, sounds familiar but i don't know...

random guess time: sister act? :D

Dirt Dancing?

The film is a musical from the early 70's and is still often performed on stage. The lead actor goes home and asks his wife of 25 years...

'Do you love me?'

I'm clued out on musicals. :( Guys and Dolls?

the only other movie that I can think of with that in it is the wanderers.

okay I now know that's not it (though I think it's better related to that movie). I found it on amazon not even really looking for it. Hugely popular musical, but you won't know it's in it if you haven't seen it multiple times.

Personally, I thought the scene was the most memorable in the movie -- but then I may be too sentimental. He asks if she love him and she tell him to go lie down 'maybe it's indigestion.' Finally, the best she can do is 'I suppose so.'

I just found it sad that after 25 years the best he could get was 'I suppose so.'

Hint: In the era the movie was set it was tradition to arrange marriages -- the man and wife had met each other at their wedding. Their daughter did not want to follow that tradition and instead wanted to marry a man she loved (Bonus hint: A title to another song from the musical is in that hint).

The King and I?

Peter Griffin presents The King and I

Sorry, no harems involved in this movie. No nobility (only noble in character). The man and wife are an old jewish couple.

SA -- I thought you looked it up?

That doesn't mean he can't crack a joke! :D

(Methinks he likes guessing these, but hates trying to come up with ones himself...not unlike some other people here :heh: )

Anyways, I'm running out of musicals-cum-movies: Fiddler on the Roof.

would you look at that, seems jaded figured it out

and I was just making a family guy joke.

Your turn je.

"gotta go for the funny", eh SA? :)

Sigh....now I gotta come up with one; this game is a little harder for that than the others... :bad:

EDIT: Anyways; probably a softball, but:

Moving in Stereo - the Cars

[ June 01, 2007, 15:56: Message edited by: jaded empath ]

Well, listened to that song and it doesn't ring any bells to me.

Boy, does that song (and movie image) bring back memories... or is it mammaries.

I was in total lust with Phoebe Cates.

Fast Times at Ridgemont High

And the front-clasp bikini top goes to T2!

waitaminute... :skeptic:

Very easy one....

Suicide is Painless -- it is performed by both Johnny Mandel and Ken Prymus in the movie.

M*A*S*H*

That's it kuemper.

The movie was far better than the series.

Sleepwalk - Santo and Johnny

Listened to this song as title didn't give any idea to me and once heard I can comfortably say i've no idea.

That has been in a lot a movies... hint?

Played at a funeral.

Going on T2s words, if this HAS been used in several movies UNLESS this HAS been made for the film in question, or singers STAR in this film, then it breaches my rule. Like using Coldplay Clocks. Used in the film Confidence, but DOESN'T link itself.

busted.... :p

:rolleyes: I'm sure Bach wrote Toccato and Fugue in D minor will Rollerball in mind. DarkStrider's third post here (http://www.sorcerers.net/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?/topic/21/549/3.html).

Sleepwalk plays at Ritchie Valens' funeral in La Bamba.

Try a new song Kuemper. No harm done.

'kuemper... calling kuemper... come in kuemper....'

'Sir, it's no good. The lines dead.'

'Keep trying damn it! I know someone is there.'

(hero looks doubtful)

'I just know it.' :D

Well you go T2 or I will tomorrow.

Well, fine.

Calender Girl by Neil Sadaka.

The song was an intregal part of the movie's plot even though only one line was used in the movie: The single line of the melody was played apprehensively on a piano by the lead character.

(I love, I love, I love my calender ... girl.)

Hint: The protagonist was looking at the floors the rape/murders occurred -- on a hunch he went to the piano and hit a note corresponding to each floor -- it came out to the tune:

I love, I love, I love my cal-en-der ...

The only missing note for 'girl' indicated the next victim would be on the 13th floor of a building (not many of those, actually) and led to catching the serial rapist/murderer.

Granted, this may be a stretch of the rules....

[ June 08, 2007, 17:36: Message edited by: T2Bruno ]

Oh, January Man!
Kevin Kline was a better than expected antihero in that one; I thought the writing/dialogue got a little muddled at places, although the plot mechanics were nice.

That would be it jaded. Your turn.

"Travelin' Band" covered by The Jeff Healey Band.

King of comedy?

No; some have looked on the movie as a comedy, even if it wasn't intended to be. :)

The Truman Show?

Um...tempting, but no.

Let's look at it with this hintage: Jeff Healey performs that and another song onscreen with his band, and despite being a minor character, he's surprisingly necessary to the plot.

Roadhouse

That's it! Take the rowdy patron's boot! ;)

I can't think of one off the top of my head, so next IJA can take it.

ok, here's one i'll ALWAYS think of this film whenever I hear it.

She sells sanctuary by The Cult

This song occurrs at the very begginning of this film played by a DJ. He says "A little crushing music for you."

I'll have to take, um...A Shot in the Dark (sorry) and guess Crash?

Sorry but no. This film can be quite romantic, and moving.

Time for another hint. Interestingly it was this exact song and movie that made me make the third rule, like how Kenny Logins' Dangerzone makes you think of Top Gun.
This movie is set in, and around, Harvard uni.

I had to look it up (never saw the movie), but that was the second of four movies the song has been used in.

It's been used in others? I've only ever seen it in one, and thought it had been only used in one.
:cry: Since it has appeared in others it can't be used. This film is With Honors. Next person can take this.

Perhaps an adjustment to the rules is more in order (along with a belated apology to kuemper)....

I think you're right. The rule about the song being "linked" is scrubed. Just if it was made FOR the movie or the singer/s appear in the film can be ok.
I only made this rule because of the She sells sanctuary song. Whenever I hear it i'll always think of With Honors, but didn't know it had neen used in others too.

Rather than the 'linked' song being scrubbed, you could alternatively have:

In the case where a song has been used in more than one movie, any movie the song has appeared in is an acceptable answer unless the original clue has sufficient detail to exclude all other movies.

Interesting. I think yes that could work. I was going to do a song used in Austen Powers 1, Secret agent man by Johnny Rivers but I said I couldn't because it had been used in Ace Ventura 2. If I said the song BUT said when posting that it WASN'T from Ace Ventura 2, that could work. And then you can go on, like you said, other clues so any guesses before the further clues are acceptable, but after other films are then a no go.

Time to get it moving. A song that fits my established rules.

Stillwater - Fever Dog

This is a movie about a fictional rock group called Stillwater.

Almost Famous

Yup, you got it.

Moon River by John Mercer and Henry Mancini

Know the song, but haven't heard it in any film. Might have been used in a film but one i've not seen.

Academy Award winner for Best Original Song. I think that qualifies....

I know but I can't think of a question to ask so I won't answer.

I'm not denying it qualifies T2. Just I obviously haven't seen the film in question.

I was giving it as a hint... sorry to imply otherwise.

Breakfast at Tiffany's.

Mr Piranha has it.

Ok. This one is probably pathetically easy but here goes.

"The Power of Love" - Huey Lewis and the News.

Back to the future

You've got it Takara.

Hehe, was the very first guess post I did when I started this thread. :p

Ok, Seal - Kiss from a rose

Batman Forever

Yup, you got it. Since the U2 song got used I thought i'd use the Seal song at some point. hehe

next... Tunnel Of Love by Dire Straits

Gah I should know this. :bang: it's not coming... Damnit!

I think a hint may be in order.

It's about students/applicants in one of the armed forces school. The song was actually playing on the jukebox in a bar scene.

Renaisance man?

Nope, not Renaissance Man. The movie is much older, 1982 to be exact. The students/applicants are actually training as candidates for officers of US Navy aviation. Lots of scenes on the obstacle course.

The main thing I remember from that movie was the groin shot.

Officer and a Gentleman

Bruno got it.
