Songs in Movies?

[ZeppoAndFriends]

I mean, some of my favorite non-Muppet movies don't have any songs. There still are good movies with no songs. However, they'd be 10 times better if the threw a few songs in.

So...something like Star Wars would've been better if the characters sang?

We seem to be made to suffer,​

It's our lot in life,​

Every road we seem to take,​

Leads to woe and strife.​

​

Or how about Jaws?​

​

I'm a big, bad shark that's comin' to eat ya,​

A big, bad shark that's happy to meet ya,​

I'll take small bites and start with your feet-ya,​

This big, bad shark that's comin' to eat ya!​

​

Alright, dumb jokes and bad rhymes over. ​

I honestly do believe that just about any movie would be better with songs in it. I mean, songs are such an important part of everyday life.

I still think that a holiday should be created called Break Out Into Song day, where suddenly singing in real life is normal.

That would be my favorite holiday

The more I think about it, there's one song in a movie that really doesn't make any sense to me...

The song "The Coconut Tree" from Ernest Goes to Jail... it just... seems out of place, to have a Calypso-esque song about a guy not wanting to climb a coconut tree because, "These aren't my tree-climbing shoes" in a song that's about Ernest ended up in jail because of a case of mistaken identity while his criminal look-alike assumes his identity to rob the bank where he works at.

I don't mind songs in movies so much, but sometimes I find there are too much. I also find it in Muppet Movies. There's always one song I feel doesn't fit in. (I can include my list if you want.)

I would like to know which one?

Personally, I thought the songs in The Muppets were just a wee bit sappy... I love a lot of the songs used in Muppet movies, but the ones in that one were just... not that great... "Me Party/Party of One" especially makes me cringe.
