Musical Montage: RUN-DMC “Christmas in Hollis”
Musical Montage is all about the holidays this month and we’re kicking things off with a hip hop classic that was featured in Die Hard, specifically thanks to Argyle, everyone’s favorite limousine driver.
Musical Montage: Falco “Rock Me Amadeus”
Although not officially associated with the the Oscar winning movie Amadeus, Falco’s “Rock Me Amadeus” was heavily inspired by that film, both lyrically and visually for the music video.
Musical Montage: Pat Benatar “Invincible”
Pat Benatar delivers the anthem for 80’s teen outlaw Billie Jean’s crusade against injustice (and getting $608 for scooter repairs) with “Invincible” from The Legend of Billie Jean.
Musical Montage: Paul Engemann “Push it to the Limit”
The only way to experience Tony Montana’s rise to power is with a montage set to the super up beat and synthy “Push it to the Limit” by Paul Engemann.
Musical Montage: John Parr “Restless Heart”
The end credits song to The Running Man, John Parr pulls out all the stops for the wonderfully insane music video for “Restless Heart”, with tons of unnecessary slow motion, clips from the movie that make no sense and getting incorporated into the movie footage himself.
Musical Montage: Warren Zevon “Werwolves of London”
Our month long horror themed Musical Montage gets closed out by the classic Warren Zevon song, “Werewolves of London” that may have some hidden meaning but seems like just a song about a werewolf running around London.
Musical Montage: Rockwell “Somebody’s Watching Me”
A solid follow up to Thriller on your Halloween party playlist, Rockwell’s “Somebody’s Watching Me” features Michael Jackson on the chorus and a bunch of references to horror movies and TV.
Musical Montage: Blue Oyster Cult “Godzilla”
Forget terrible Jimmy Page/P. Diddy team ups and Green Day remixes, the only true song about the King of the Monsters is Blue Oyster Cult’s “Godzilla”
Musical Montage: Lion “Love is a Lie”
Lion’s “Love is a Lie” would be fine to feature for this month’s all horror/Halloween Musical Montage, as it was featured on the Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter soundtrack, but add in Crispin Glover and it becomes something truly special.
Musical Montage: Johnny Rivers “Secret Agent Man”
Originally the theme song for the 60’s spy show “Danger Man”, Johnny Rivers’ ode to spies “Secret Agent Man” has become synonymous with all things spy and has been covered by a wide spectrum of artists.
Musical Montage: Hot Pursuit “Fire With Fire”
In order to get into the proper mindset and gear up for the climactic battle, Martin Kove’s John Steele has a montage set to Hot Pursuit’s “Fire with Fire” from the lost 80’s action classic, Steele Justice.
