Not including songs written for movies( eg Footlose, Whitney Houston I will alway love you etc)

What songs instantly make you think of a scene in a movie anytime you hear it?

For example every time I hear Jessie's Girl I think of Boogie Nights scene with the fireworks or Johnnie B Goode and Back to the Future.

Honestly, now everytime I hear anything from Rage Against The Machine, I think of the Matrix Trilogy. Thanks Wachowski brothers. (Well siblings, now that one is a girl)

most obvious one to me is "Stuck in the Middle" from Reservoir Dogs. Ill never be able to separate them.

Pretty much all the songs in Pulp Fiction (teenage wedding at jackrabbit slims, Girl You'll be a Woman Soon and the overdose).

Waynes World and Bohemian Rhapsody, Almost Famous and Tiny Dancer, Dont you Forget About Me in Breakfast Club, In Your Eyes in Say Anything. These are all indelible.

also the opening strains of "The Final Countdown" will always remind me of Gob Bluth's brilliant magic act.

Tiny Dancer actually triggers two - it used to make me think of WKRP, now Almost Famous.

"Layla" is forever linked with a specific scene Goodfellas.

"Stuck in the Middle with You" - Reservoir Dogs

Funny thing is, I actually picture Jay from Clerks 2 reviving that scene outside Mooby burgers.

Yep. Was going to put this. Just the music only part in the ending of the song.

There are two for me for Dazed and Confused. The previously mentioned Sweet Emotion scene. Epic. As well as No More Mr. Nice Guy by Alice Cooper when Ben and company are paddling them.

And I have to say, "Cosmo......he's chinese." EVERY time I hear it. My wife hates it but it is now ingrained in my DNA.
