I do like Song 2 but yeah, overused definitely.

neither can I..... but I know I have heard it in quite a few.
I guess none of the trailers made an impact, or i was just so crazy i heard it playing in my head during the trailer... either way, I know I have heard it... but i can not think of where. |
however, until i think of some or figure it out more... i will post one (that probably already has been posted) we can all agree on in the meantime

Well, at least part of it anyway. Not to mention TV shows, sporting events, ring tones....blech. |

Sting - IMDb
yeah, looking at the above, i had to stop and laugh at Stings uncredited contribution to "This Ain't Glee XXX"...... funny thought of him writing songs for pornography... let alone songs by the title given... |

Danse Macabre by Saint-Saens and Wagner's Flight of the Valkyries are both heavily used.
|
Not a classical piece I know, but American Girl by Tom Petty is on at least 4 soundtracks:
Chasing Liberty FM Fast Times at Ridgemont High Silence of the Lambs Appears in these two also (which did not release soundtracks) Sugar & Spice Trojan War also on the TV shows Scrubs, Cold Case, Parks and Recreation & The Sopranos I'm sure there are more... |
Not sure if this qualifies, but Immigrant Song is vastly overused in movie trailers -- and that Walking on Sunshine song? Ugh. I love Immigrant Song but really, with so many great songs in the world, why use this over and over and over?
|
O Fortuna from Carmina Burana by Car Orff...over-played.

Feels good. |
I love ELO but every frickin' time they show some montage of some character getting their sh*t together in a movie these days, they play 'Mr. Blue Sky'. That song should be BANNED from ever being used in a movie again. No imagination in Hollywood. None.
|
I went through this thread again to see if these three were mentioned but they were surprisingly left out.
Low Rider Let's get it on Gah, couldn't even find a copy of him singing it on youtube. Stupid estate family Numerous versions of Over The Rainbow I just posted this version because I really like it. |
All classical - used since the B&W days of TV
|
This may've been mentioned earlier but it's used way too often:
|
Gimme Shelter by The Rolling Stones needs a serious mention.
Funny enough I stumbled across this on youtube: |
Gimme Shelter should be used in every movie!
|
I think Yann Tiersen's Comptine d'un autre ete l'apres midi is really overused.
Recently I heard the song in a documentary film... Same goes for Einaudi's Divenire. Quite some pieces composed by Bach like the preludes can be heard often in movies. Moreover Wagner's Bridal Chorus and Ave Maria composed by Schubert are pretty common. |

Hands down of the movies I've seen, All Star is probably the most overplayed to the point I dislike it Quote:

Reading through this thread, I saw one notable song people left out. Ugh, I can't stand that song anymore. It's a great song, but it's lost its effect on me just like All Star. |
This one they use alot when a character is wondering the streets or when he is being introspective or something.

that's how i know the song, idk that guy's career or any other song of his but ive heard this song in a couple of movies and i think i heard it in Futurama too *google search* Yup, they used it on Futurama too. |
Mr. Blue Sky by ELO. Every time there is a montage of some character getting their complete sheet together in 10 minutes (just like in real life!) they play 'Mr. Blue Sky'. I love ELO but I think there should be a law that states once a song has been used in 3 movies, there is a instant moratorium.

True Dat, but they are great in their own weird Beatle-esque way......The Beatles never did an album like Eldorado and they really departed from The Beatles-sound on the On The Third Day album where they sounded more like an amalgamation of T-Rex and Yes than The Beatles |
