Smash Mouth was all over movie soundtracks in the 90’s, including the 1998 teen comedy Can’t Hardly Wait with “Can’t Get Enough of You Baby”

Coming off the soundtrack for Supercop, Warren G and Adina Howard put a new spin on the Tina Turner classic “What’s Love Got to Do With It” with a music video directed by Torque’s Joseph Kahn and featuring Jackie Chan himself.

Among the 70’s hits and deep cuts from bands like Cheap Trick, Fleetwood Mac and Silver, the new Awesome Mix Vol. 2 also features a brand new disco/rap song from the one and only David Hasselhoff and “The Sneepers”, Guardians Inferno.

One of the go-to composers for directors like Zack Snyder, Rob Zombie and James Gunn, Tyler Bates has scored movies like both John Wicks, both Guardians of the Galaxy movies, Halloween, 300 and more.

Since the focus of both Breakin and Breakin 2: Electric Boogaloo was on break dancing, the soundtracks were key parts of the movies and featured hip&hop duo Ollie & Jerry contributing both title songs along with tracks by Chaka Khan and the first ever appearance by Ice-T.

The flip side to his constantly in over his head alter ego Roman Pierce, Tyrese has been delivering silky smooth R&B since 1998, even collaborating with the similarly styled Ginuwine and Tank for R&B supergroup TGT.

A huge fan of the band’s album Points on a Curve, director Wiliam Friedkin hired Wang Chung to compose every song on the soundtrack for his Secret Service action thriller, To Live and Die in LA in 1985.

Instantly recognizable and inextricably tied to Ferris Bueller and the 80’s, Yello’s “Oh Yeah” has been a juggernaut, appearing in countless commericals, movies and TV shows.

Can’t Fight the Moonlight was not only a major plot point of 2000’s Coyote Ugly as one of the songs written by aspiring songwriter/Coyote Piper Perabo but the version by LeAnn Rimes also exists and she shows up at the bar at the end of the film to sing it.

Ariana Grande and John Legend take over “pop version” duties from Celine Dion and Peabo Bryson for this coming Friday’s live action remake of Beauty and the Beast for the duet title song.

The main single off the Bad Boys II soundtrack, Shake Ya Tailfeather by Nelly featured “Executive Soundtrack Producer” P. Diddy and was number one on the Billboard charts and was Grammy winning in 2004.
