I like The Archies and Josie and the pussycats.

My favorite fictional song is Glory of love, by Peter Catera. Karate Kid 2.

I bought the soundtrack to That Thing You Do because of that song. I really like that entire soundtrack. But that song is the best 'fake movie' song I've heard in a long time.

"That thing You do" is my favourite fake movie song. I wish The Wonders was true band so I can see them live.

A Star is Born has been made FOUR times (5 if you count the TV adaptation). The original with Janet Gaynor and Frederick March in 1937, the 1954 remake with Judy Garland and James Mason, the 1976 version with Barbra Streisand and Kris Kristofferson, and the 2018 film with Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. The TV adaptation aired in 1951 and starred Kathleen Crowley and Conrad Nagel.

[@Megz1794]

@ladycatsinger:they might not be counting the tv series adaptions for it though since they said it was the third remake of the 1937 one so they could just be going based off for movie adaptions for it.

[@Megz1794]

@ladycatsinger:they could easily just be going based off actual remakes of the 1937 movie since the original one isn’t a remake since it’s an original one the only remakes would be the 1954 one, 1976 one and the 2018 one for movies making the 2018 movie the third movie remake of the original 1937 movie. Since they most likely wouldn’t be counting tv series ones also it would be three because the original one doesn’t count as a remake

[@Megz1794]

@ladycatsinger:also it would be just 3 movie remakes if they are counting just for movie remakes and not the total number of remakes overall since the tv series one only counts as 4 remakes since the original one isn’t a remake. And out of those remakes there’s only 3 remakes for movies

[@Megz1794]

@ladycatsinger:the video is taking about how many remakes the original movie has which is 3 remakes for movies and not how many times overall the storyline has remade. Since the tv series would be a separate from the movies as a remake

[@Megz1794]

@ladycatsingr:they are most likely saying how many times it’s been remade as a movie which would only be 3 times

[@Megz1794]

@@The.Office.Alliance.dude a lot of the songs on this list weren’t written for their movies. “Main song” can be intrupted in a lot of ways main song can also mean the first song you think of after watching a movie. Like never enough by Loren wasn’t written for the greatest showman and would be the first song people would think of, take me away is by the Australian girl lash and wasn’t written for freaky Friday,Scotty doesn’t know is a real song by the band lustra and was also probably not written for it’s movie. Since alot of the songs are cover songs from movies that have fake bands singing the songs in the movies but the song itself existed long before the movies came out.

It took me 3 links from the soundtrack to find it out, so not difficult, but also not as obvious as any musician would make it. They were incorrect but you are a little too dramatic, they're still doing better than you just because they don't know who a defunct band is.

Like "Backdoor Lover" and "Pretend to be Nice" from Josie and the Pussycats are treated like huge pop hits within the world of the movie but were not released as actual "radio play" singles in the real world. That tracks for me as a "fake song." But songs from musicals don't feel the same for me in that the songs are the point of the entire show/movie. Like not a single song here from a Disney musical, right?

"That Thing You Do" should've been in the top 10. Other than that, good list!

[@cuttlefishagain]

yeah I feel like that should have been more than an honorable mention. That was the first one I thought of lol

[@lilpixie1985]

Agreed! And “Stand Out” should have been higher!

[@katrinasanders2787]

I'm surprised The Archies, "Sugar, Sugar," didn't make the list! That's my top song from a fake band, as that song hit #1 on the U.S. Billboard Top 100, as well as 3 other songs making it on there as well.

[@erilaz7]

The title of this video is "Top 10 Best Fake Songs from MOVIES", but "Sugar, Sugar" was from a TV series, so....

[@SeanGrantstormpinball]

I want to hear ja ja ding dong again after hearing this list. EuroVision had some many great songs, I had to buy the soundtrack. Popstar soundtrack works as an additional Lonely Island album. Thanks for the list. Reminded me of some great songs both on and off the list!

[@AttnDefDis_]

The entire Josie and the Pussycats soundtrack is amazing. I'm shocked you didn't give any credit to the artists responsible for the songs.

[@mjunderhill3321]

Yeah Kay Hanely from letters to Cleo did the vocals.

[@JennA-uf6lo]

Pop Goes My Heart is the best. I still laugh over the time my friends and I went to a restaurant after we saw the movie and we stood in the parking lot doing the dance before we went in…and didn’t notice that we were in front of the restaurant’s windows full of diners staring at us. We didn’t even care - we just laughed harder. I love that movie and video! Oh: “On the Dark Side” from Eddie and the Cruisers was pretty great too.

[@colleenleigh]

Nobody Like U by 4Town from the movie Turning Red absolutely nailed the late 90/early 2000s boy band vibes.

[@maurolorenzotongco5521]

I really liked "Never Enough" in The Greatest Showman as performed by Loren Allred. The song was portrayed to be performed by historical singer Jenny Lind (played by Rebecca Ferguson).

[@LoudLilDucky]

It wasn’t made for the movie. It was done prior to the movie.

[@Megz1794]

@@LoudLilDucky:so were a lot of the other songs that got mentioned none of them are fake songs and alot of them existed before they were in certain movies. The only fake song is most likely shallow in a star is born

Music & Lyrics is a great movie! Loved the music from that too, but LOVED Way back into love, especially the performance of it at the end of the movie.

[@jengentry06]

yes! Love it! That is one of my favorite movies -- so many funny lines and great songs.

Yes Way Back Into Love would have been a mega hit

Way Back into Love is a great made for movie song.

[@rebeccatidwell2723]

Did we forget Spinal Tap? Those actors actually had to tour. And the fan bas is still bigger.

[@tuttleberry]

Songs from Spinal Tap , Rock Star , and School of Rock - all should be in there.

[@jj-if6it]

That Thing You Do is just so catchy and sounds like it was actually from that time

[@JupiterHope]

What about anything from Lemonade Mouth...people legitimately thought they were a real band and the music from that movie hit the charts. Tonight Is What It Means To Be Young from Streets of Fire should have been in there, too.

[@Memelord2020]

You should’ve included Nobody Like U by 4*Town from Turning Red and Peaches from The Super Mario Bros. Movie

[@amandadiyenno8588]

I immediately thought about Turning Red at the beginning of the video

[@clueless4238]

Yes yes yes!

[@yichen4]

4 Townies unite!

[@axepagode33626]

Shallow is not a fake song. It's a real song played by a real musical artist okaying a character in a movie. If you include then you need to add several songs from Whitney Houston's The Bodyguard movie, Mariah Carey's Glitter, or Barbra Streisand's A Star Is Born.

[@smpm0222]

Exactly!! It was even performed at the Grammys

[@LiqdPT]

The point is that it was written specifically to be performed in the movie.

[@cathilasota598]

I can't believe I watched this entire video only for #1 to be an Academy Award winning song that actually was a "surefire hit in the real world"

[@packer0027]

Who put this list together? I remember “Pop goes my heart” was #1 in Apple downloads when it first came out and “That thing you do” was in radio for a while. I think Josie and the Pussycats film is more remembered for “3 small words” over “Pretend to be nice”. Shallow definitely deserves to be #1 though. 🎶

[@TheWobbie84]

The song Scotty Doesn't Know, was written and performed by the American rock band Lustra in 2004. The song was written for the movie, but was later included on the full length lp Left For Dead.

[@gabrielcarreno2773]

I would had added "City of Stars" from Lalaland and "I'm Just Ken" from the Barbie movie. Ryan Gosling is just great for making music :)

[@pixigrl26]

I'm Just Ken has lived rent free in my head since I saw the movie...its so damn catchy.

[@propogandalf]

I feel like those don't count. They're not songs that exist in their respective movie worlds.

[@jorgesoler7753]

i can't believe pop goes my heart and that thing you do are just honorable mentions. they should've been among the top 3

I'm sad that "PoP! Goes My Heart" and "That Thing You Do" were only honorable mentions.

[@martnarobn7740]

I cant believe the first song in the beginning of "Bob's burgers movie" wasn't on here. When Bob in the kitchen cooking and singing the first lyric "everyday we go downstairs, unlock the door and turn the sign to open.. OPEN" aw I miss watching that movie and singing along to it with my partner.

[@NeonRadarMusic]

Heal Me I'm Heartsick by the fictional band No Vacancy from School Of Rock. They win the competition in the end and as the audience we're supposed to be sad... but it's an amazing song that would have been a hit during the post-grunge era.

[@sullisen]

Lol everyone mentioning School of Rock I wasn't sure I dared air this opinion but I also effing loved it. It's kinda cheesy but as a power ballad it's exactly what it's supposed to be. Not that I don't love the School of Rock song etc, but the No Vacancy song stuck with me longer. But I do feel ever so slightly treacherous about it..

[@DanGamingFan2406]

"Shallow" is definitely the best in universe song, and the best part of _A Star is Born._ and personally, I think it's one of Lady Gaga's best.

[@badkitty4922]

Isn't it out there as an actual song? I could've sworn I saw it looking for Lady Gaga songs here in KZbin.

[@kaitlyngault3987]

Yeah, I find it incredibly boring & could NOT understand why it was played on the radio as much as it was. I'm not the only one I know who thought that.
