Featured on the soundtrack of the 2000 Nickelodeon movie Snow Day, the song “Another Dumb Blonde” was the biggest hit ever for Hawaiian singer Hoku.

One of the many contributions to the world of music and film from the late Burt Bacharach, who passed away last week, was “The Look of Love”, which was sung by Dusty Springfield and included on the soundtrack for 1967’s Casino Royale.

Easily one of the most unique aspects of the schlocky 80s horror movie Slaughterhouse Rock is the fact that Devo provided most of the soundtrack and “Mickey” singer Toni Basil co-starred.  Devo and Basil teamed up for the movie’s end credits song, “The Only One”. 

For his 1989 TV movie, LA Takedown, which later got remade as Heat, Michael Mann included Billy Idol’s “L.A. Woman” on the soundtrack and the song got a music video directed by David Fincher.

Considering 2002’s Gangs of New York dealt with Irish immigrants trying to survive after coming to America in the 19th century (along with engaging in gang warfare across New York City), it makes sense that the biggest Irish band in the world, U2, would contribute a song to the soundtrack, which they did with “The Hands That Built America”.

Coming off their debut 2003 album Tell All Your Friends, Taking Back Sunday’s “Cute Without the E (Cut from the Team)” paid homage to David Fincher’s Fight Club with its music video.

For Ridley Scott’s 1986 cult classic fantasy movie Legend, Bryan Ferry provided “Is Your Love Strong Enough?” for the movie’s end credits.

It’s the final night of Hannukah tonight, so it seems like the perfect time to highlight Adam Sandler’s classic, “The Chanukah Song”, which was first performed in 1994 during Weekend Update on SNL.

If you saw Avatar: The Way of Water this past weekend, you heard “Nothing is Lost (You Give Me Strength)” by The Weeknd over the end credits.

The Muppet Christmas Carol celebrated its 30th anniversary this past weekend, but one of its songs, “When Love is Gone”, was only available widely again fairly recently.

Kenan and Kel reunited this past weekend on SNL, which got us thinking back to classics like 1997’s Good Burger.  While the most memorable song from the movie’s soundtrack is “We’re All Dudes” by Less Than Jake and Kel, there was also “All I Want” from 90s R&B trio 702.
