Songs that you immediately associate with certain movies/tv shows?

When you hear a certain song, does it immediately make you think of a certain movie or tv show that that song was featured in? Basically, you can’t hear that particular song without thinking of the movie or tv show.

I’ll give a couple of examples from me personally. I can’t hear “Layla” from Derek & the Dominoes without thinking of Goodfellas. Ever since I saw that movie years ago, they’ve been forever entwined in my mind.

Also, “Don’t Stop Believing” by Journey. I’m sure a lot of people also have this experience, but from start to finish I think of nothing but the Sopranos.

What are some examples you guys have?

Or Atlantis by Donovan and them kicking the crap out of Billy Batts. Something about the calm of those two songs and the juxtaposition of the violence on screen makes them memorable.

"Here It Goes Again" by OK Go always reminds me of the golf scene in Bachelor Party 2. Always!
