Organic Soundtracks

What are some soundtrack songs that are naturally implemented into the movie? For example, a band playing the music in the scene or the characters are listening to the radio or something along those lines as opposed to traditional soundtracks where it's added over the film.

One of my favourites, from Lost Highway

Jeff Beck playing I'd Die For This Dance in the movie Twins was a nice treat. Really the only redeeming quality in that dreck. I'd post the only video I can find of it, but it's worse than watching the actual movie itself.

A couple of scenes from a German film featuring the late, great, David Bowie...

I think word for that is diegetic.

Yeah, in film there's diegetic (on screen) and non diegetic (soundtrack, voiceover) sound. So I think that that's the word you're looking for.

Birdman has a few really great moments where you see the drummer, which I though was really cleverly incorporated. If I recall, the debut Ana Lily Amirpour film (which is excellent) has a few really stand out moments. Oh, and the Screamin' Jay Hawkins tape in Stranger than Paradise.

The Hannibal music where the orchestra is playing Bach.

Scenes from The Piano.

Dazed and Confused at the end when he blasts Foghat through the speakers.

Scenes in Almost Famous.
