Title: Not Necessarily Musicals....... Post by: bleachedblack on August 22, 2007, 09:21:39 PM I bet you can think of a number of songs that are featured in movies and remembered for those movies. I'm not talking necessarily about musicals ......but those are fine to.
I always loved these to blasts from the past The Graduate 1967 Simon and Garfunkel Scarborough Fair http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nh7H6XC11P8 Midnight Cowboy Harry Nilsson Everybody's Talking http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QorkFwpOo6E Title: Re: Not Necessarily Musicals.......

Here are a few of my favorites: Aimee Mann, "Wise Up" from the film, "Magnolia" (you either love this movie, or you hate it. I'm firmly planted in the first camp): http://www.youtube.com/v/86ZOUkSnGk0 The Wonders, "That Thing You Do" (I think this is actually written and performed by the guys from FOuntains of Wayne, but don't quote me on that) http://www.youtube.com/v/wPMLG8mnCRM And does this one count? Every time I hear it, it sticks in my head for hours. Don't hate me for posting this: http://www.youtube.com/v/d3msNv0NAjM Title: Re: Not Necessarily Musicals.......

Re: Fountains of Wayne.....had to look it up, because I've shopped in the store they named themselves for and have passed it hundreds of times...it's still there....not that we can always trust wikipedia, but. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/That_Thing_You_Do! Music The movie features original music by Hanks, Adam Schlesinger, Rick Elias, Scott Rogness, Mike Piccirillo, Gary Goetzman and Howard Shore. The Wonders rise to brief stardom on the strength of "That Thing You Do", a song written as a wistful ballad but which becomes an uptempo rocker during the band's first performance at a talent show. Written and composed by Adam Schlesinger, bassist for Fountains of Wayne and Ivy, and released on the film's soundtrack, the song became a genuine hit for The Wonders in 1996 (the song peaked at #41 on the Billboard Hot 100, #22 on the Adult Contemporary charts, #18 on the Adult Top 40, and #24 on the Top 40 Mainstream charts). The track was nominated for the 1996 Golden Globe Award as well as the 1997 Academy Award for Best Original Song. Mike Viola of The Candy Butchers provided the distinctive lead vocals for the Wonders. Title: Re: Not Necessarily Musicals....... Post by: Dugga on August 31, 2007, 03:31:41 AM Hey, 2nj! Thanks!
That store is indeed where they got their name. I've got all their albums. I'm a fan! I'd like to take a picture there sometime. From what I understand, it's a place that sells concrete sculptures and things like birdbaths, bricks and rocks for landscaping - that kind of thing. Is that correct?

Motor Vehicle office & inspection station lies behind it....got my driver's license there many moons ago. :) Dugga, yes, the store started out just selling outdoor items you mentioned and evolved somewhat. We bought an artificial Christmas tree there & ornaments many years ago....and I was familiar with the band, but cannot say I know their music well. bleachedblack, didn't mean to hijack your thread....I'm done, now. :wink: Title: Re: Not Necessarily Musicals.......

Post by: bleachedblack on February 12, 2008, 01:31:04 PM Couldn't find any actual clips other than stills from the tribute movie The rose to Janis Joplin for which Bette Midler won an academy award. Somehow looking at still shots of Janis Joplin just didn't seem right, so I chose this youtube.........
