songs ITT could easily be divided into five separate categories:

1) songs that were inspired by movie titles
2) movie titles that were inspired by songs
3) songs that were specifically commissioned to be in movies bearing the same title (iow “im making a movie called “___”, please write a song with that title I can use as a theme”
4) songs that have the same title as a movie even though the composer didn’t know about the movie when they wrote it
5) movies about musicians/songwriters that use one of their songs as the title

All four of those would be a great thread by themselves.

I always liked this Zevon song, but I don't think got much if any radio play. It seems a bit obscure for a movie title, but I guess the movie was a bit obscure too.
