Where's Paul McCartney & Wi... (Below threshold)1. Posted by langtry | July 18, 2007 3:30 PM | Score: 0 (0 votes cast)
Where's Paul McCartney & Wings' "Live & Let Die"?
What a lame list ... figures it's AOL that came up with this crummy list. Seriously ... Tiny Dancer is a good song, but does anyone remember it's association with "Almost Famous"? Does anyone hum Des'Ree's Kissing You from Baz Luhrman's "R&J"? And Chad Kroeger's "Hero " from Spider Man??? WTF?

Were all these typos in the original? 'Tequilla'? 'Dont'? 'KAtrina'?
'JEsus'? 'Deperately'? 'Benerly'? 'Geto'?
etc...
Also, so many missing tunes. Where's "A Hard Day's Night"? Or any other song featured in a Beatle movie?
And other than "Diamonds are a Girl's Best Friend", I don't see any actual movie musical songs. You know -- from the golden age of movie songs?
Ah, well... kids these days...

How about a large handful of Disney songs? Even if you aren't a Disney movie buff, you gotta admit that a few of these should be represented in this list (several are Academy Award winners):
Zip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah
Can You Feel the Love Tonight?
Hakuna Matata
Circle of Life
Beauty and the Beast
When You Wish Upon A Star
Someday My Prince Will Come
A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes
Kiss the Girl
Once Upon A Dream
You Can Fly, You Can Fly, You Can Fly
Heigh Ho
Whistle While You Work
Under the Sea
Reflection
Colors of the Wind
True to your Heart
The Bare Necessities
A Whole New World
Friend Like Me
I Won't Say (I'm in Love)
I Wan'na Be Like You
Everybody Wants to Be a Cat
Be Our Guest
Cruella De Vil
Winnie the Pooh
You've Got a Friend in Me
etc...
Heck... Mary Poppins has a good five that could contend for this list...
A Spoonful of Sugar
Chim Chim Cher-ee
Let's Go Fly a Kite
Feed the Birds (Tuppence a Bag)
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Let me add a couple more egregious overlooks:
"Top Gun Anthem" or "Danger Zone" from Top Gun (Both more memorable than Berlin's song)
"Pink Panther Theme" by Henry Mancini (as an instrumental is invalidated?)
"Mortal Combat" By Utah Saints (Easily the most recogniable techo theme out there)
"Carmina Burana" by Carl Orff. Hear that swelling choir selection in the background? Yeah, this is it.
And someone, please, explain why not a single Disney movie song made this list? "Beauty and the Beast", "A Whole New World", "You've Got A Friend In Me", You'll Be In My Heart": None of these is memorable, but someone actually remembers "Romeo + Juliet"?
Puh-leez

Here's one that just occurred to me: "White Christmas." You'd be hard pressed to find a movie song that has reached a wider audience...
