Overused Songs in Movies or TV

[D'Snowth]

I heard "I Believe I Can Fly" on the radio today and it reminded me that it's become the "inspirational scene" anthem.

Either that, or the theme song from Chariots of Fire.

Either that, or the theme song from Chariots of Fire.

Or the Rocky theme.

Highway To **** is done a lot.

 

[D'Snowth]

Really? I think I've only heard it used for Megamind.

 

[Sgt Floyd]

Also that John Travolta movie where they form a biker gang...can't remember what its called...Wild Hogs maybe

 

[Dominicboo1]

Or Percy Jackson, and something else I can't remember.

 

[Princeton]

I Feel Good by James Brown

Wild Thing by Tone Loc is used WAAAAAAAY too many times in movie trailers.

Ugh, I hate that version... years and years and years ago, my favorite radio station got taken over by a rap station, and they played that song NON-STOP for DAYS! Seriously, like for 72 or more hours straight, nothing but "WILD THANG! DUN, DUN-DUN! DUH-DUH DUN, DUN-DUN!"

Speaking of trailers, Alan Silvestri's theme from Mousehunt seems to get used an awful lot on trailers for some reason.

Sexy and I Know It by ***** has been used alot lately. Especially in TV promos.
