Wow, yes.  Such a brilliant use of a song.  After I saw the film for a first time, that thing was stuck in my head for a good few weeks.  In a good way.

white rabbit- the game
suzanne and hot love-breaking the waves (I just love those chapter titles, I would like to see a version of the film where the titles would go on through the entire song)

Strangers in the Night - EWS (instrumental version)
Good Vibrations - Vanilla Sky
I've told every little star - Mulholland Dr.

On a side note: Does anyone know which is the song in Amelie that is played when her 'soon to be boyfriend' is at his work (the porn shop) and he shows the dancing girl the note? It's the song that she's dancing and the last time we see the porn shop.

Thanks in advance.

TB Sheets- Bringing out The Dead. Totally sinks in with the movie. Lyrics like "I need a drink of water" (Noel is always asking for water), "It ain't funny, it ain't funny" (plays after Frank is laughing at Mr. Burke), "I turned on the radio" (Frank is always on the dispatch radio), and lots more.

"The Wind" is on my copy of the soundtrack.

I think that song was used better in "Almost Famous" when Penny Lane is dancing in the empty concert hall.

Well, I think "The Wind" is just a beautiful song and I can't see it being badly used in any ocasion  8) "Here Comes My Baby is just as cool"

Also related to this thread, I'm actually listening to a great song that many of you probably don't recognize, 'cause it's a portuguese song and was used in a portuguese film called "Rasganço". The film is ok, but the song ("Chaga", by Ornatos Violeta) is just amazing. If you ever get the chance to download it from Kazaa, do so. Its begining is just as great as rock can be  :-D

The edit button is your friend.  Don't be another mutinyco.  Just say no.

All the best songs have already been named, really.  I mentioned Mad World months ago.  Everyone seems to say stuff from PTA's and Tarantino's work.  And I haven't seen any film in a long time where the soundtrack is anything decent.  The fall can't come soon enough.
