The Needle Drop - What Fuels the Best Movie Soundtracks?

[@MusicLover-ti6zo]

Almost Famous and "Tiny Dancer" are a perfect match.

[@StudioBinder]

Great film and song

[@carolfromhr9900]

Same with "In Your Eyes" and Say Anything. Tarantino and Scorsese may know how to reinvent the needle drop and make licensed songs in a scene memorable, but Cameron Crowe knows how to make spiritual music moments in his films.

The term "needle drop" goes back long before digital recording. I heard it in 1968. Two friends recorded an original album in a pro recording studio. They used a short sound effect, and paid "per needle drop".

[@eleanna2236]

I thought that you were going to talk about Anthony Fantano for 10 minutes straight. Needless to say, I'm extremely disappointed.

[@Damacles9]

Excellent video! Now, a video about how you go about procuring the music and the pitfalls of that process. As most of the music used throughout this video would be prohibitively expensive, are there tricks and tools to aquire the music? Like, offering percentages of the profits in lieu of money upfront, for example?

[@chenzenzo]

Pulp Fiction would have been a better immediate reference. Using popular songs is smart, but bringing obscure songs from the depths into the minds of millions is far more wise and fascinating.

[@marinaj5902]

If this had another installment today, it would have that bus scene in Shang Chi. I had goosebumps in theater.

[@JaimeD.]

In *The Hitman's Bodyguard (2017)* when the final car chase scene came, and "Spiderbait - Black Betty" was played, the gear was turned for a nonstop acceleration, with another song, until reaching the Court House.

[@DelightLovesMovies]

I really love Ferris Beuler, Baby Driver, and Almost Famous.

[@goodun2974]

While not limited to just one 2-hour movie, Michael Mann and Jan Hammer did a fabulous job with "needle-dropping" on Miami Vice. An episode about a serial-killing race-car driver utilized "In the Air Tonight" by Phil Collins as the sonic backdrop while the killer cruised for a victim; a motorcycle race in a parking hmgarage was set to "Cruise Missile", a breakneck instrumental by the Steve Morse Band; and the road-race began to the raucous drums and raunchy slide guitar of "Mercury Blues" by David Lindley and ElRayo-X. "Miami Vice" looks and feels a bit dated nowadays, but the use of music to bookmark scenes was first rate.

[@unknownvespertine8991]

Love that you included Midsommar

[@StudioBinder]

Thanks for watching our video!

[@PorchBandit]

I think it's important to note the difference between OST and Score that scene from Midsommar, seems like it's more of a score song than a soundtrack song but I could be wrong. Score's are typically written along side the film or at least (when repurposed which has happened many times) remain cohesive almost as if it's one long song illustrating the journey of a character. A soundtrack is typically viewed as the songs that either already exist or function on their own as full complete songs (even if they were written specifically for a film, such as james bond) with defined beginnings middles and ends, usually edited for use in the movie.

[@suhasjamdar7024]

Guardians of the Galaxy did this best! Every soundtrack and the scene it played back synced so damn well!

[@chandermotwani3493]

Pulp Fiction dance sequence is ICONIC 🤘🏻🎥🎬

[@Rapscallion2871]

6:00 Don't forget that the song lyrics match the story.

[@koi8136]

One particular scene comes to mind for the "carthasis" category - the scene in magnolia where different characters start singing together individually. So simple yet so beautiful and memorable. But I'm not sure if it can be counted into this list as it's not a well known song before the movie came out.

[@rachaelb.471]

I think it counts! Its still a needle drop and it brings catharsis

[@rachaelb.471]

It could also been in the character category but catharsis seems the most fitting

[@goodun2974]

How about "Bad Moon Rising" by Creedence Clearwater Revival as the backdrop to a werewolf attack in "An American Werewolf in London"? Or "Stuck In The Middle With You" in the dance/torture scene from "Reservoir Dogs"?

[@enriquedrivefast]

Everything about the soundtrack to American Werewolf in London was perfect! Especially the placement of the three versions of Blue Moon. Add that all the tunes had "Moon" in the title.

[@howardthechuck7794]

Look at the scene from how I met your mother where they use the song ‘funeral’ by band of horses; that scene is heavenly cathartic

[@howardthechuck7794]

*or the scene where they do the highway to hell christmas light show; that one is awesome

[@buenrostrocinema]

The Thor song is awesome. Also, can someone tell me if the scene in the short film "Inigualable from Random Stories" Love today, can be a catharsis?

[@channingcheese2]

What about how a songs lyrics can allude to and shine light on the themes of the movie?

[@frenstcht]

That's not what "cognitive dissonance" means. Cognitive dissonance is when one's beliefs don't match one's actions and is a theoretical tool for explaining beliefs, or how they change, because that dissonance is perceived as a bad that must be corrected. The seminal example is when Ben Franklin wanted to become friends with someone who didn't particularly care for him, he borrowed a book from the guy. Loaning a book, especially back then, is not typically what one would do for someone one doesn't like, so the guy adjusted his belief about Franklin to see him in a positive light. Another example is having someone do a task: People who are compensated for doing a task tend to enjoy the task significantly less than those who aren't compensated. It's also one reason why it's probably better to give one's kid an allowance rather than pay them for doing chores. To say that the disconnect between the music and actions of a scene gives viewers cognitive dissonance carries no meaning without the concomitant need for the dissonance to be fixed, most obviously by changing perceptions of either the music or the actions. In the Bateman example, viewers might see ax murder in a more positive light; ax murder, much like pirates, is fun! Regardless, cognitive dissonance is a disequilibrium that the mind seeks to bring back into equilibrium through changing actions or beliefs, the same way one may put one's arms out to regain balance after slipping on ice. The fact of disequilibrium is not what's meaningful about cognitive dissonance, it's how equilibrium is re-achieved that's meaningful. So if one plays "Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy" over a scene of a serial killer dismembering a body, what behavior, exactly, is cognitive dissonance going to prompt from the viewer to regain equilibrium? Why is that particular corrective behavior going to obtain in the viewers? These questions need to be answered for cognitive dissonance to be meaningful to the analysis.
