OK, Whilst in bed for lots I had this great idea for a new game. You post a song and someone needs to guess the movie. For example if I posted Berlin - Take my breath away the answer would be Top Gun. The only ones you can post are: written for a film, star the band in a brief cameo, or the song will always be linked to the film, like Kenny Loggins - Dangerzone. I and many people will automatically say to themselves...... "yeeeehah, Jesters dead...." from Top Gun. You cant post say Coldplay - Clocks just because it was used in Confidence.

So that said I'll start it off. since it is the start I will make it easy.
Huey Lewis and the News - The power of love

Back to the Future, iirc.

Indeed it is. You're up next Kuemper. :)

This isn't as easy as you'd think. 90% of the movie songs I know have the fricking movie title in them! :lol:

Have You Ever Really Loved A Woman? - Bryan Adams

Don Juan DeMarco?

Yuppers. Go bunny!

Hmm, let's see (interesting new game, by the way):

The Glory of Love - Peter Cetara

Well, kind of an educated guess. I think this is from Karate Kid, and given DR's unnatural love for this movie :p , I'll go with that. :D

Unnatural? UNNATURAL?! The Karate Kid represents everything that is good, and pure, and noble in this world! Show some respect! :p

It's from Karate Kid 2, but I'll give it to ya.

:lol:

OK, so I hope this falls under the "song will always be linked to the film" rule, so...

Jeff Beck - The Pump

Yay! Seems to be taking off well. :) No idea for yours though Splunge, but I wouldn't start a game that I'd know EVERYTHING hehe. :p

Fast Times at Ridgemont High?

Does listening to the song count as cheating? I listened to Pump because I couldn't find The Pump as one of his songs.

cool game Takara, glad to see you're back in the game scene :D

Unnatural? UNNATURAL?! The Karate Kid represents everything that is good, and pure, and noble in this world! Show some respect! Ah, that proves it. DR and HB are clones of each other :p

no idea about the answer though

Thanks Enagonios. :) Whilst I was bed ridden it gave me a lot of time to think, and this game just bloomed and really developed. I know I'd have loved this game if someone else started it.

I think I need to reconsider this song - I don't know that it really falls into the "always linked to the film" category. It was Risky Business.

I'll try again - Ride of the Valkyries by Wagner

Apocalypse Now?

I think I need to reconsider this song - I don't know that it really falls into the "always linked to the film" category. It was Risky Business.Uh, that would be Old Time Rock 'n Roll by Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band. Jeff Beck? Pah-lease!

Ah, that proves it. DR and HB are clones of each otherImpossible. I've heard of things. :p

I've heard of things. So long as they are things that have appeared in a Karate Kid movie.

HB's got it.

"The Moment of Truth" by Survivor

The only Survivor track I know is eye of the tiger. heh. Splunge, dont be too downhearted, for me I just hadn't seen it. May have been irretrievably linked... but couldn't say for mtself.

Not downhearted, Takara. Just kicking myself for: a) picking a song not really tied to a movie, and b) missing the obvious one kuemper mentioned.

HB, are you being sneaky? Because I think yours might be from Karate Kid again.

yeah, it is from the karate kid again i think.

Nothing sneaky about Survivor! It's your turn though, Splunge-san.

Unchained Melody - The Righteous Brothers

Ghost. Pottery scene always stands out. :)

That's the one, Takara.

A good one. Was going to post it myself in a bit, got a few I'd have done first though.

OK, might prove tricky even though most will have seen it. But maybe not.
ZZ Top - Doubleback

Back to the Future III. I still remember the video. :D

Get Into the Groove - Madonna

Cor, you managed no prob. Guess I'll have to get back at ya by getting yours. ;) Desperately seeking susan. Good ol' 1985. :) I'll have to make it trickier, but then if you know it, it's easy. Starship - Nothings gonna stop us now.

mannequin 2

Ick - nope, I believe it was the first Mannequin. You know...the one that was REALLY good. :rolleyes: :p

Yes it was the first. Didn't know they made a sequel. I love Mannequin, appeals to my romantic soul. :lol: Video was good too with the 2 lead singers in Starship acting out as if they are in Mannequin.

I only saw the one with Kristy Swanson and was in love with her back then :love: but recently, my friend told me that was mannequin2 and mannequin1 had kim catrall in it? :confused:

but this was the song for the kristy swanson one wasn't it? this song is one of my old faves as well

Nope, it was frrom the one with the lovely Kim Catrall.

ah, you learn something new everyday i guess. weird how i always associate this song with that movie though.. did they make it the main theme for mannequin2 as well?

I have no clue. But the video for the Starship song also had actual clips from the film too, and it was def. the first. As I said, I had no idea there was even a sequel.

Sorry about the steal, Enag. :p

Easy one: Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me - U2

Batman Forever.

Batman Forever ...which i regretably saw at the weekend.

Even easier one: Lovefool - The Cardigans

EDIT: Damn you T2 beat me by a few seconds
/me shakes fist at T2Bruno :D

After that curse by Psuedospawn I'll assume I'm right and post:

On the Dark Side by John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band

Eddie and the Cruisers

Your turn kuemper.

Crazy for You - Madonna

shanghai surprise?

Vision Quest?

Yes. Gawain is up next.

Cool.

I Can Dream About You, by Dan Hartman

Streets of Fire

You are correct.

This one's going back a few years....

Call Me Irresponsible -- Ol' Blue Eyes.

Hmmm...the ORIGINAL Ocean's Eleven?

/me worries about fading memories...

Frank did not appear in the movie. The song was awarded an Oscar. The movie was a classic comedy with Jackie Gleason.

I guess I should keep away from the classics and go with something more recent...

Shape of My Heart -- Sting (this should be easy as it was in three films).

[ August 02, 2006, 22:47: Message edited by: T2Bruno ]

It's easy if you like Sting. :p No clue myself.

Lethal Weapon III?

Leon (a.k.a. The Professional)

Leon was one of the three -- it was the theme song for Knight Moves and was also used in Three of Hearts. Your turn Magpie.

Really? The song I always remember from Leon is Bjork - Venus as a boy. But many won't connect the two as it wont forever be linked, and it wasn't written for it.

O.K., I'm short on ideas and I'm not 100% sure how this works, so I'm just going to throw out a complete softball and see who smacks it first:

Mike Oldfield - Tubular Bells

I give this one about, ooh, 12 picoseconds...

Hehe, a softball.... IF you know it. I'm sure many wont have seen The Excorcist.

'Tis 'tExorcist, Tak. Take 'taway.

OK, here's one asscociated with a film I like and the song I adore. Samuel Barber - Adagio for strings

Platoon

Indeed it is. I love that song and it's perfect when Willem Dafoe is dying.

Ok stayimg with the classical theme - Bach's Toccato and Fugue in D minor

Heh, I'm sure I'd porobably get it... but my knowledge of classical is sadly limited. If I heard it, I might get the film, but sadly I wont otherwise. JNot too long back someone said the marriage of figaro by mozrt, for anther game, and they selected it because they has just seen Shawshank redemption. I didn't know until I actually heard it. Then I knew.

If listening to the song is cheating, then discount my guess:

Dracula with Bela Lugosi?

No not a horror movie, though it was violent

Clockwork Orange?

Nay that is Beethoven, this film is from the 70's and had a lot of Bach, the Toccata was associated with the game...

Rollerball?

Solar warriors?

And the shiny ballon is Ara's :)

Wheee! :D

THis is gonna be a softball....

Rammstein - Freuer Frei

hint?

Um, no idea, Arabwel. Sounds foreign.

No clue here either. Which is the song, and which is the artist? Heh

xxx

Vukodlak has it :D

THe song is featured prominently int he beginning of xXx, the VIn Diesel action thingamajik, withRammstein on stage while a hapless guy gets chased into the crowd, and sniped, with his dead body then getting crowd-surfy :D

'Ode to Joy' from Beethoven's 9th symphony.

Clockwork Orange?

Seen xXx but I would have had no clue. I wouldn't know Rammstein and their appearance..... not my sort of music. :(

Well, I'm sure it did make an appearance in the Clockwork Orange but there it would have been one of many of Beethoven's compositions. The film I am thinking of uses it in a more iconic way.

Hint?

The film is the first of a trilogy, although the 'ode to joy' is also used in the third installment...

Lord of the rings?

the Matrix?

Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery?

Grrrrrr...Vukodlak - my hatred for you burns like the fires of a thousand red-hot suns; hooking me into this and making me think on a monday (and it's my day off!) ;) :p

Um...trilogy is bugging me, there ain't that many...

Wait... :idea:

Bad News Bears?!? *shrugs*

Die Hard?

Yes it's Die Hard. You remember - when the 'terrorists' finally open the 7th lock on the safe -> 'Merry Christmas'

Of course I remember - classic. :)

Battle Without Honor or Humility - Tomoyasu Hotei

I can't find a way to listen to it, so here's a flatout guess:
The Last Samurai?

No - I don't think original scores count in this game. Or at least - they shouldn't.

This song is a pop song. It has become quite popular recently, especially among sports teams and tv commercials. But, admittedly, it's one of those mystery songs that becomes named after the movie because no one else knows how to identify it. Kind of like "you know, that 'Rush Hour' song," etc. But once you hear it, you recognize it immediately. It's that distinct.

No, it's not from Rush Hour.

Damn, so much for my guess. :p

Romeo Must Die?

No, but you're on the right track.

Edit: Here's the song [LINK REMOVED]. Easily found with a google search of the title, I might add. :nono:

I'm far too easy on you people. :D

[edit (below) - Really? Didn't know that. Someone should tell Kuemper she's a cheater-pants, then. ]

[ August 08, 2006, 00:25: Message edited by: Death Rabbit ]

But that's cheating, listening to the song :eek:

Someone should tell Kuemper she's a cheater-pants, then.Hey, I've stated right out and asked if listening to the song is cheating. Most of the time, I know the music better than title/artist, especially with classicals. Better put that boldly in the rules then:

Listening to the song posted is CHEATING!

Hey now, that's DarkStrider's or probably Takara's call (since he started the game). I for one don't really care, I think it's almost essential for some songs.

Listening to the song is NOT cheating. The song title has been said, obviously, and you don't get a clue to the film. All it does is remind you of the song and how it goes. If you have seen the film it will help, if you haven't then listening to the song wont help.

I was just joshing (I may be a powerful dracolich but I ain't going up against no Marilith, no sirree)

Anyway my guess is Kill Bill? probably Volume 1?

Your guess is correct.

Ready Steady Go - Paul Oakenfold, my favourite scene in the film

Collateral - the scene in the nightclub 'Fever?'

If so, it's my favorite scene in that film too. ;)

Oh yeah, you got it DR

Nice backpeddling guys. :rolleyes:

They fear you. ;)

Next up (easy one): Good Enough - Cindy Lauper

Only cindy I know and it's a cover, is Time after time. It was done by Tara Morice and Mark Williams. But I doubt anyone would know the film, or the artists.

Isn't that from The Goonies? There was a Cindy Lauper song in there, but I'm not really sure it's this one (it has been a while since I last saw that movie).

Yawp.

Well, if by tommorrow morning we still are waiting I'll IJ this.

I hate to take on the IJ knowing I'd be out for the weekend. But I'd love to keep this thread up, besides, I got a really great song... and it should be easy enough so most anybody can confirm it.

It's Probably Me - Sting & Eric Clapton

I might be confusing myself here but - Lethal Weapon III?

Sorry guys, I totally forgot about this.

I've no clue on the new song (which is probably a good thing :) )

I'm afraid I've no clue, but I normally don't follow Sting or Eric Clapton's music. So the film featuring it IF I saw it, wouldn't stick in the mind.

EDIT: Since Nior is not going to be back until after the weekend and we wont hear whether Darkstrider is right; not sure WHY she IJed when she was going to be away; We will take it that DS is right and he's free to post another.

[ August 11, 2006, 21:15: Message edited by: Takara ]

^ It's a he, Takara. Sorry, I thought Sting and Clapton were pretty standard to everyone and Lethal Weapon series was an easy guess.

Anyway, DS is right.

I'm sorry nior, I was getting a bit bored and wanted it moving. And DS was away for weekend too so it wasn't going any quicker anyway. :)

Softball to get it going again

Dooley Wilson - As Time goes by

Casablanca?


...no problem Takara. :)

How can I post... I think nior is dead on. ;)

And nior is correct, have a shiny balloon on a stick

Ok, here's another oldie but not as old as Casablanca.

Wonderful World (Don't Know Much) - Sam Cooke

It's a mad mad world?

I was eating lunch and I had a thought... It's a wonderful life with Jimmy Stewart?

[ August 15, 2006, 13:01: Message edited by: Takara ]

I only remember that in Animal House.

The most memorable song in that film was Louie Louie, which bit had this song?

It was playing in the background when John Belushi was foraging in the cafeteria.

DAMN!!! Harrison Ford sings it in a movie. Had to be Witness after he got the car started again.

Bruno got it. Harrison Ford singing to it as he dances with Kelly McGillis in Witness.

Okay, how about:

You Can't Always Get What You Want

Is that by the Rolling Stones?

Yes and no. When the song is first heard in the movie it is not the Rolling Stones.

Full metal jacket? it's the only film I recall with the Stones. Oh that and Jumping Jack Flash, but I sincerely doubt it's that.

The first time you hear it, it is played on an organ.

Edit: I usually associate this with Kevin Costner's nose.

Edit again: This movie has one of the best soundtracks for classic rock.

[ August 17, 2006, 03:38: Message edited by: T2Bruno ]

Nope, no help I'm afraid. I just never remember a Stones track, even when played slightly differently. I just hate them so much.

The Big Chill?

Thank-you, Laiwethel.

The song was played at the funeral for the Kevin Costner character (who committed suicide). All of Kevin's flashback-type scenes were deleted from the movie and the only time he is shown is in the coffin -- you can barely see his nose sticking out.

The Kevin Costner clue gave it away :p It's a great movie with a fantastic soundtrack.

Here's a softball for you:

Donald O'Connor - Make 'em Laugh

Singing in the rain

And the next one is

My beautiful monster - The Eels

You mean "My Beloved Monster" by Eels?
Cause that makes me think of Shrek. As do "Hallelujah" and "I'm a believer"

sorry Master I did you win this shiny balloon on a stick :)

Sweet! Now... lemme see if I can come up with a song that is very 'adhesive' to a particular movie... Takes some time I guess.

Edit:
Mmpfh. Perhaps this will do...
Irving Berlin - Cheek to Cheek
I don't mean the movie for which it was origionally written (in 1935) but a more recent one.
(Sorry! Can't come up with anything else atm)

sorry MoN but time for an IJ. It's about time to go back to easier tracks. Simple Minds - Don't you (forget about me)

[It's your thread, but the IJ usually applies when someone has a right answer but has not posted a new question or someone has guessed and not received a "yes" or "no" within 24 hours . . . so I'm not sure how you can invoke it here.] -dmc

[DMC it applies since MoN technically broke the rules... his posted song was made and used for another film, so it doesn't specifically link to the new film as I can see it.]

[ August 20, 2006, 19:41: Message edited by: Takara ]

The Breakfast Club

Indeed it is! Have a shiny balloon to play with. :)

Come In Number 51, Your Time Is Up - The Pink Floyd

Bonus points for telling me which scene

The Wall? Not actually seen it so dont really know

And he went for the obvious, sorry Tak it's not The Wall

oh well, I thought maybe it was, since I cant recall any films using Pink Floyd.

There's 2 I know of this one and another that they wrote the soundtrack for, I'll give th eother film once this one is solved.

And the geographical location of this film does exist.

I dont know why, but Brazil popped into my head.

Interesting, very interesting Mr Takara, but wrong


Edit: 1970's cultish film filmed at the location of the title

[ August 22, 2006, 10:01: Message edited by: DarkStrider ]

I hope you didn't do Pink Floyd live at pompeii.

No I didn't

A 1970 film by Michelangelo Antonioni that was intended to capitalize on the U.S. counterculture movement of the time by sympathetically telling the story of a young couple — an idealistic student, and a militant radical — with a pointedly anti-establishment message.

The soundtrack album features music from various artists, including Pink Floyd, The Youngbloods, Jerry Garcia, Patti Page, and the Grateful Dead.

The Floyd were specifically asked to write a piece for this scene.

Soz DS, but on this I have no clue.

And no one else seems to be playing ... :(

I've been TRYING to play...you just keep posting songs that make me shrug. :p

Ok the scene for this song is a building blowing up, photographed from a multitude of angles.

Sorry DR it may be that only the diehard geeky Floyd fans will know this one. You often leave me stumped in the scene and quote games, I guess payback can be a ***** :p

I've been hanging out this thread too but like DR, the songs are just not familiar to me.

Ok the one I was looking for was Zabriskie Point

Here's a hopefully softball

The Doors - The End

Err...I have no idea. I've been trying to participate too, but I know none of these...

Apocalypse now?

Yay we have a winner, would you like the shiny balloon on a stick or the generic cuddly toy?

I take both and laugh in delicious triumph :D :evil:

Err... Anyway...


How about 'Mad World' by Gary Jules and Michael Andrews (originally by Tears for Fears)

Donnie Darko?

That's the bunny. Go Tak

woohoo! First one I've known in a while. Personally I didn't like Donnie Darko, except the mad world cover.
ok.... Roxette - Almost unreal

Mario Brothers?

oooh, you got it right.Here was me thinking it might prove tricky, as the Super mario brothers film was truely awful. Shame I went and saw this at the cinema for a date. :lol:

I never saw the Mario Brothers movie but way way back, I did read an interview with Roxette and they happened to mention it.

Tsk, tsk... why do I always get a go just before the weekend. And this part of the world, we might be having a long weekend, Monday might actually be declared a National Holiday. So...

anybody can have my turn.

why thank you nior, i'll try to pose a harder one, maybe from a film not overly famous.

Villiage people - in the navy

Police Academy??

Nope.

It's the sub one with Frasier, Down Periscope.

Darr! And I thought it might be tricky. Go ahead you...you... clever chappie you.

Woohoo and I'll go in a different direction

Good Times - INXS

Drop zone? it's the only film I know with some INXS.

Sorry no, Tak

Another song from the film then

Cry Little Sister - Gerard McMann

[ August 25, 2006, 18:22: Message edited by: DarkStrider ]

Hmm, no idea so far, hint?

Werewolves?

heh, got guessed in the quote game. Dog Soldiers?

Lost boys!

Yes Ara have a generic cuddly toy, no more balloons I'm afraid

w00t :D

Going to make it a softball... "We don't need another hero" by TIna Turner :)

Mad Max: Beyond Thunderdome?

Yup, you got it HB :)

Woohoo. OK then:

"Falling in Love Again" by Anika Moa. She's a New Zealand singer but the movie is from the USA.

hmm, hint time.

No need Tak, sisters are sometimes useful, according to one of mine, this comes from America's Sweethearts?

The film with John Cusack and Julia Robberts? saw that once, quite enjoyed it.

And Catherine Zeta-Jones, yeah, meant to watch, haven't caught up with it yet.

That's right, DarkStrider did not need any hints, because he is right. America's Sweethearts it is. John Cusack rules. Your turn.

Also Sprach Zarathustra - Richard Strauss

Close Encounters of the Third Kind?

Nope

On that theme: 2001 a space odessy?

Oh yes indeedy, the scene where the earth rises above the moon and then the sun rises

A moving scene. OK, to get tougher.....

Skunk Anansie - Selling jesus

Well well well, I have finally posted a tricky one. :D ok, first hint: this is rule 2, Skunk Anansie appear in this film. Most of their performance of this song was cut by the director, but you do see Skin a couple of times.

Aaargh. I don't even know who Skunk Anansie or Skin is/are.

Strange days?

You go it!, not as hard as i'd like, but........

Ok, now for:

Bring your Daugther to the Slaughter - by Bruce Dickinson

Bride of Chucky?

Nope, right genre though...

A nightmare on Elm street 5 (dream child or something).

That's the Eddie! Your go stardust...

You never can tell - Chuck Berry

Easy but it's a classic.

Pulp Fiction.

Totally right, quite easy wasn't it?

Anyhow your turn Rabbitman.

'Sugarhigh' by Coyote Shivers

I know it, must resist...

Coyotee ugly?

Nope.

Empire Records - a surprisingly good film for its cheesiness

wasn't "til i hear it from you" by the gin blossoms the main song from Empire Records?

Yes and no...Sugarhigh was far more significant to the movie, even though 'Til I Hear It From You' was the biggest single from the film.

Anyhoo - DS gets a surplus silicone breast implant on a stick. Yeah, we ran out of balloons over here. :heh:

Yay

I'm going classical again and I'll name 2 pieces because they both represent the film

Fortuna Imperatrix Mundi from Carmina Burana by Carl Orff
and
Seigfried's Funeral March from Gotterdammerung bu Richard Wagner

Conan the Barbarian or was it Conan the Destroyer?

Sorry nior neither of the Conans

Excalibur?

Yes Excalibur, The Wagner piece opens the film and is always present when Excalibur is shown, as it contains the sword motif so prominently. The Orff piece is when the knights are charging, it starts softly and builds to a crescendo, used most effectively after Perceval brings the Grail to Arthur, as they're riding out, the land blossoms again.

Yay! Ok, here's the next one.


A Love Before Time - Coco Lee

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon if I'm not totally wrong.

Stardust, you are totally correct.

Six Blade Knife - Dire Straits

Darr! A group I love, yet a song I dont know. The best film using Dire Straits was Spy Game, and that was Brother's in arms.

That's Desperado if I'm not barking mad

Your not mad at all DS thats desperado allright.

Have a dragon on a stick.

Ooh Dragon on a stick, there's brave

Softball time

Teenage Dirtbag - Wheatus

Signs?

Nope

Man, I have some great ones, but I can't figure any of these out... I'll just have to wait for an easy one :)

This is from "Loser," starring the pie-f*cker. :D

Indeed and the delicious Miss Suvari, have a generic cuddly toy :rolling:

man, i knew that one :bang:

Well, no wonder I really had no clue. Never even heard of it.

You aren't missing much, Tak - believe me. It was pretty stupid (both the song and the flick).

"Walls (Circus)" by Tom Petty

The only Tom Petty song I can think of is Free falling.

This may actually be kind of a sucky one. This song was from the indy "She's the One," with Ed Burns and Jennifer Aniston. Not the most well known.

Let's try another one:

"Fight the Power" by Public Enemy

I wouldn't know the previous film, and the new one strikes no chords.

I think it might be He Got Game?

Nope - but you're on the right track.

Inside Man or
Do the right thing or
Mo'better blues or
malcolm X

That's all the Spike Lee films I can think of

Come on, you know how this works. Pick one.

Ok ok I'll use deduction, I saw Inside Man and don't remember any HD-rap, Mo'better blues nah it's got the blues, Malccom X don't remember it using rap, so I'm left with

Do the right Thing?

Or completely wrong

You're up, Sherlock. :p

Stealer's Wheel - Stuck in the middle with you

hehe, a song i was gonna post myself. Resevoir dogs.
