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

Midnight Cowboy
         Harry Nilsson Everybody's Talking

Great thread! 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):

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/86ZOUkSnGk0" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/86ZOUkSnGk0</a>

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)

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/v/wPMLG8mnCRM" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/v/wPMLG8mnCRM</a>

And does this one count? Every time I hear it, it sticks in my head for hours. Don't hate me for posting this:

Dugga,

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.

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?

Thanks, Sharon.  Motor Vehicle office & inspection station lies behind it....got my driver's license there many moons ago. Smile

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
