Top Fifteen Movie Songs 11/15 (in no particular order that I will admit to):
11)"Wouldn't It Be Good"
Written and Performed by Nik Kershaw
Performed by Danny Hutton Hitters
Film Pretty in Pink (1986) - Yeah, like a lot of these, well before I was born.
It was surprisingly difficult to come up with ONE song for the representative for the list.
[quote]I got it bad, you don't know how bad I got it
You got it easy, you don't know when you've got it good
It's getting harder just keeping life and soul together
I'm sick of fighting even though I know I should
The cold is biting through each and every nerve and fibre
My broken spirit is frozen to the core
I don't wanna be here no more

Yeah, I think about this one a lot. Sometime more than others, and at times it has different meanings for me.
As for the film, it is (possibly) my fave of its ilk. I take that back... I love the book. The film was good. If the film had the same ending as the book, then it would be my fave of its ilk. So, I pretend.
Here were the runner ups for which song from this film:
"If You Leave"
Written by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (as OMD)
Performed by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark
Courtesy of Virgin Records, Ltd.
By Arrangement with A&M Records, Inc.
Because... well, it's OMD
Funny thing about that, actually. I read in an interview that their record company was like "You have not had a hit in a long time and you need a hit." And they were like "We don't care about having hits, we care about writing our music." and the company was like "hello? Paycheck?" and they were like, "Fine." and they did and it was and then they were like "Now we can go back to writing our stuff."
"Bring On The Dancing Horses"
by Will Sergeant, Ian McCulloch, Les Pattinson, Pete DeFreitas
Performed by Echo & The Bunnymen
Courtesy of WEA Records / Sire Records
By Arrangement with Warner Special Products
Just because.
"Shell-Shock"
by New Order & John Robie
Performed by New Order
Courtesy of Factory Records / Qwest Records
By Arrangement with Warner Special Products
My fave New Order song. _WAY_ better than Blue Monday. :ack:
So, if these 15 were in some kind of normal, ranked order, this one would have more... prime... position. But these are in no particular order/ranking that I will admit to, so here it is at number (what number are we at? [what kind of grammar is that?]{oh, hush}) eleven.
So, anywho, yeah, coming to a thing on this entry was really holding things up. I thought about moving on to the next one, but for reasons I won't [Can't]{Won't}[Whatever] explain, I just had to hold off until I got here.
Take care-
