is there a particular song that you would love to see used just right in a movie or better yet, hope to God nobody gets to it before you do? post it here, or don't because you just may ruin your chances of using it............
.......for me it's: kbca, kacj, od ti magai by yeltse adn. if you can unscarmble it then it probably wasn't meant to be. i don't imagine the unscrambling will be too difficult though. i can feel it all slipping away now.
anyways, go ahead!
Panjabi MC - Mundian To Bach Ke
this should help MTV romantic comedies...
..when the girl and boy first meet at a sk8boarding park..to the sounds of ..avril's "sk8er boy"
..when their are first sings of relation ship problems;;to the sounds of ..avril's "complicated"
..a during a montage..of happier times:,.to the sounds of.. jason marz"remedy"

"
..at the prom....to th esounds of..green day"time of your lives"(the cheesy slo song )
....during the high school football game.."kid rock's "bawitthebang"(his first big single)
...
I've always wanted to use the Counting Crows' stuff as inspiration for a movie, a la PTA with Mann's stuff for Magnolia.
Duritz is such a great lyrics writer; there's a story in ever song.
Probably because they're all HIS stories.
....Anyway, hmmm, there's also a beautiful instrumental piece of music by Elton John called "Carla Etude" that I always thought should be in a movie.
I would like Radiohead to do an entire original soundtrack for a film, like Air with Virgin Suicides
There is also a track from Garbage called "You look so fine" that i have always loved and would love to hear in a theater accompained with the perfect scene.
i'd love to see a song in spanish called "A rodar la vida" (Let's roll the life or something like that) in a movie, in fact i would like to use it in my new script but i can't find the way, cause that's a very hopeful song and my story is so dark so...maybe i've got to wait
"Flying" by the Beatles :(
I always wanted to open a film with "To Be Young" by Ryan Adams, and then Old School did it (terribly).

Maybe that contrast would be a good thing.
Eward, I descrambled your mystery song almost immediately. But never fear, I won't steal it.
There's a song I'm deadset on using someday, but I won't mention it here. I also really wanted to use Ruby Tuesday, up until it showed up in Royal Tennenbaums. But its use there was so perfect it was okay.

mmm...i'll think about it :wink:
"Hello Operator" by the White Stripes. It'd be the perfect back-in-the-hunt song for someone that just broke up with their significant other. Shoot it slow-mo as they walk down a hall.

hehe, i'm a terrific scrambler, aren't I? i tried to make an anogram (sp?) out of it, but could not find one.

My fave is: A CABANA DICK JOG KIT
im retarded
what is hip- tower of power. (this song would work well ironically- like to show a character's panic).
nobody's fault but my own- beck (i don't know where it'd work but this song inspires me. i listen to it and i think "cinema.")
satisfied mind- jeff buckley (any dramatic tender context).
it's wonderful- ella fitzgerald (great romantic song)
'I Put A Spell On You' by Screaming Jay Hawkins. Voodoo blues. Would work extremely well for a truly disturbing murder scene.
just remembered this. open a movie with "I Want You" by Bob Dylan, which is pretty happy and hopeful. and close it with "I Want You" by Elvis Costello which is like 7 minutes of the most painful venomous heartbreaking lyrics ever. i think it would be a great juxtaposition. anyone else who's heard the elvis tune will know what i'm talking about. ... does anyone know what i'm talking about? anyone who hasnt heard this song, should download it immediately. especially if you're miserable, or want to be. even if you're happy itll bum you out. and if anyone ever makes a movie about heartbreak, please steal this idea, since i have no intentions to ever make a movie.

Funny, I had an idea of an obsessive fan not able to get close to his idol and is out to kill her (think the Rebecca Schaffer tragedy), and this Costello song would score the "assassination" scene.
I'm still mad at Nanni Moretti for using Brian Eno's "By This River," which I had earmarked as very cinematic, though I had no specific ideas in mind for it.
I have particular cinematic ideas for "Bailed Out" by The Auteurs... and I have a whole script heavily entwined with very specific '60s girl-group and '70s punk songs, to be used both as thematic material and as soundtrack propulsion... in a way neither literal or ironic. Vague, I know, but I'm keeping the specific titles/artists close to my vest, as it's my most cherished script scheme...
my movie of all movies- the thing i've been thinking and writing and dreaming about about since day one-- ends w/ led zepplin's 'tangerine.' it's been done by crowe, i know... but... mine is better. :(
..a suicide scene w/pearl jam's immortality.....
