To go along with a new album last year featuring new versions of many of his iconic movie themes, John Carpenter released a music video for the revamp of the main theme from his 1983 cult classic Christine.

As if Mission Impossible 2 weren’t already the weirdest entry in the MI series, the movie’s soundtrack cemented it with a lead single by none other than Limp Bizkit, “Take A Look Around”.

Prolific Pacific Northwest DJ Bob Rivers specialized in parody songs during his decades long career and he specifically put out five albums of Christmas parody songs, one of which featured the Black Sabbath spoofing “I Am Santa Claus”.

On top of being on the best and coolest actors in the world, Idris Elba has also had a wide ranging musical side hustle as DJ/rapper Big Driis aka King Driis, performing his own music and appearing in music videos for bands like Mumford & Sons.

Directed by none other than Michael Bay, “I Love You” was the unsuccessful follow up to the juggernaut of Ice, Ice Baby, where Vanilla Ice completely shifted gears and tried to do a sincere, romantic slow jam with the terrible results you might expect.

Much more widely remembered than the insane Corey Haim/Corey Feldman movie that featured it, Michael Damian scored a massive hit with his cover of “Rock On” in 1989.

In between takes of 1995’s Virtuosity, Russell Crowe used the movie’s locations and sets to film a music video for his band Thirty Odd Foot of Grunts, “The Photograph Kills”.

Ska punk and Good Burger are two of the most 90’s things ever made, so it only made sense in 1997 to combine them for the soundtrack of the Good Burger movie with Less Than Jake teaming up with star Kel Mitchell for an expanded version of the nonsense theme song for Kel’s lovably dumb Ed.

After exploding in the mid 90’s with “I’m Too Sexy”, Right Said Fred was recruited by Sega Europe to turn another song off their debut album, Wonderman, into an ode to Sonic to promote Sonic the Hedgehog 3 in 1994.

Directed by the late Tobe Hooper, the music video for Billy Idol’s first big US hit, “Dancing With Myself”, finds Billy in some sort of apocalyptic wasteland with zombies swarming an apartment building that has equally horrific things happening within.

Forever the Mistress of the Dark and de facto Queen of Halloween, Cassandra Peterson aka Elvira has conquered pretty much every form of pop culture imaginable, including music like the wonderfully cheesy 80’s dance song “Trick or Treat”.
