Honestly, I dont mind it when a film uses a song that fits perfectly with the moment regardless of how cliche it's become. I'd rather them use a popular song than try to use a song that doesnt work as well just for the sake of being original 🤷‍♂️

You are absolutely spot-on with that! Hmmmm, they ever consider the mind-warping possibility that the songs are used that much _because they just work so well?_

Maarten Luijf that and at least Unfortunate son

[@TheStompboxer]

“Eye of the Tiger” was recorded specifically for Rocky III. I can’t think of any other movies it was used in. I’m sure it probably has been, as a direct parody/homage to RIII, but that one’s too associated with a specific movie to count, imo. “Stayin’ Alive” is usually used a parody of Saturday Night Fever, granted, but its use is much more ubiquitous.

More often used songs in the movies and TV: Survivor - Eye of the Tiger Blondie - Call Me The Mamas and The Papas - California Dreamin' Queen - We Are Champion / Another One Bites The Dust (mostly in Asian movies and TV shows) Queen - Under Pressure / We Will Rock You Sam The Sham - Wooly Bully Jerry Lee Lewis - Great Balls of Fire Kool and the Gang - Celebration Earth Wind and Fire - Shining Star Edith Piaf - La Vie En Rose

Oh so sorry... Queen songs I have mentioned is often used at Asia in many TV shows. I should've mentioned about it.

[@gurujackburton]

I agree Queen is way overused. If it is a movie about football, sports or cheerleading, We Are The Champions will be in it. Besides that, it's played in every sports arena around the world, making it quite possibly one of the most overused songs ever.

[@bobyce5123]

Probably "Under Pressure" is more often used (songs like "we are the champion" or "We will rock you" are too "Cliché" and Another one bites the dust, I think anytime I heard it was on TV series as a bad joke regarding the lyrics)

[@MichaelSouhoka]

La Vie En Rose has been used many times, it is heard on Bull Durham, Natural Born Killers, French Kiss, Sabrina, Love Me If You Dare, X-Men: First Class... and more. It is not always using Edith Piaf version, but some are covered either with the other artists or by the movie version themselves. As for Shining Star by Earth Wind and Fire, some of the movies are not using the original cut, but they covered with their own versions, such as The Muppets from Space. About Queen, yes I should mentioned "Under Pressure" too, and if there are any movies which used Vanilla Ice's rap hit "Ice Ice Baby", I might include them as using the Queen's cut because that song is a sample from Under Pressure.

I remember Over The Rainbow being there in the animated movie called simply "9". That movie was too depressing for an animated movie and it had this song being played in the background in one of the many depressing scenes in the movie.

Back 'n Black by AC/DC? that one is WAY overused in sequel commercials/ comeback scenes.

[@matokaste9562]

You really can't overuse AC/DC, can you?

[@hakuluvsharuko]

Fabtastic Actually I think the Iron Man movie series has just basically killed AC/DC for a lot of people, me included. I can't stand to hear Back in Black, Thunderstruck, Hells Bells, Highway to Hell, etc. It makes watching a lot of the Marvel themed movies difficult and half of Little Nicky. I am only glad they haven't kill Queen completely. And you can't blame Highlander(both movies and TV show) for Queen's prominent use, they were technically contracted to do the complete soundtrack for both which worked amazingly.

[@visaman]

hakuluvsharuko So, don't watch Marvel themed movies?

[@hakuluvsharuko]

Ur Afail That's true, they use it for a lot of football themed movies.

[@shawarmageddonit]

Ur Afail Are we thinking about the same "The Boys Are Back in Town"? Because the one I'm thinking of I'm fairly certain was by Thin Lizzy.

[@PimpDaddy1983]

"Bad to the bone" is just perfect for only one man to use in a scene - AL BUNDY!!!

[@melissacooper4282]

I remember they played that song on Married With Children. They played it when Al was dressed in his apron and chefs hat getting ready to cook out on the grill. Then in another episode when Al ate bad Mexican food then stunk up the bathroom upstairs!

[@kdospapaj]

Nah it's good especially in terminator

[@metube3489]

Also when al accidentally gets a vasectomy then emerges from the garage after his recovery period and points at peg to go to the bedroom ! He takes the whole door off the hinges. I cry laughing everytime !

agreed!

[@nickmilhaupt3191]

How does Queen not have one song in this list?! Under Pressure? We Will Rock You? We Are The Champions?? Every movie throughout the 90s had AT LEAST one of those songs in it

[@aydenjenkins8760]

Honestly though. Got pretty sick of Queen because of it being over used.

[@lucal6280]

They are often used but still not often enough

[@radicalrapscallion]

Because Queen is too good to be put on this stupid list of amazing songs

[@Dela-ku8ej]

Nick Milhaupt thanks for this comment. I came to this list to see if queen was on it, but now I know it’s not

[@Basyahh]

[@TubeDupe]

1:01 "We're excluding purely instrumental songs and film scores so don't expect to see (sic) songs like Oh fortuna!" Cue choir from O fortuna from Carl Orff's Carmina Burana which isn't a film score.

[@jherbyrodriguez1125]

Enjoying all top 10mojo videos super cool more power more videos tnx

[@allylilith5605]

The main aspect of ' O Fortuna' is the singing, so I can't really understand why you classify it as purely instrumental. Latin is a language, you know?

[@cuttle9901]

_takes latin_ unfortunately

[@aesinam]

Allylilith aegwynn unfortunately these mojo people always make such faux pas

[@chataclysm2112]

Carmina Burana isn't even Latin, it's a weird archaic mix of languages and faux-Latin.

[@allylilith5605]

chataclysm2112 are you sure about that? I never learned latin unfortunately, but it would remain singing and not a purely instrumental work anyways

[@svracak]

Yes it is latin, medieval latin. Legit language.

[@TheRagingZen]

I only came here because Jack Black was the thumbnail and I had this false hope that Tenacious D would somehow be on here :/

[@loljustice31]

Did you honestly think Tenacious D's songs are overused in films? I mean, that would have been cool, but they're hardly used at all, let alone overused.

[@TheRagingZen]

It was more of a joke. They wouldn't dare even play their stuff on the radio. And I also meant they could just be IN this video, as in, they used The Pick of Destiny as an example of a movie that had an overused song in it such as Wont Get Fooled Again by The Who. Either way, I was just hoping to somehow see Tenacious D here cuz I

[@loljustice31]

James Knight But were they IN it ALL THE WAY? Seriously though, I love them too. I remember when they played Bridge School and there were a bunch of disabled elementary school kids on stage, and there Jack Black and Kage were singing Fuck her Gently with nary a care in the world..

[@TheRagingZen]

I love those guys haha. When I picked up a guitar, the first songs I learned were all the Tenacious D songs I could muster; and I regularly go to downtown Knoxville with a friend and together we jam like a pseudo Tenacious D, haha. Some enjoy the performance while others think it's crude and don't hesitate to let us know we need to leave. All in good fun lol. Btw, while we're on the subject of Tenacious D, I actually have a cover of Beelzeboss by them on my channel if you have some time to waste. Anyways, I'm glad you're a fellow D fan! (:

[@loljustice31]

James Knight sure, I'll check it out. Someday I'll tell you about the time I totally embarrassed myself in front of Kage trying to get an autograph for my brother. Did you like School of Rock?

[@lawnmicrowave3483]

Thanks. I was looking for O’ Fortuna

[@zanethind]

No matter how many times movies overuse a song it never gets old cuz it fits the movie scene

[@JosePromis]

when you show "Somebody To Love" as an honorable mention you're actually playing "White Rabbit"

[@unrealdude82]

IKR, I was like fucking WM they're too dumb for this shit.

[@balladsnowfox7714]

I was wondering if someone else realised I was confused cause I did recognise it but assumed it was a somebody to love I didn't know I mean both Somebody To Love by Queen And White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane are commonly used songs so maybe some editor got wires crossed

[@MichyCiao]

11:58 That's not Somebody to Love. It's White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane!

[@thewaywelive2775]

Yeah it's fucking embarrassing

[@sinsinnatikid]

Which is hilarious, because they showed the Somebody to Love scene from Fear and Loathing in the intro.

[@tanyabluved]

Eye of the Tiger should have definitely been number one

[@RaiceGeriko]

Noodles4Anime I gotta be honest on this one... I actually have never seen a movie use this song except Rocky 2 - which is the movie it was made for. I could be mistaken. What other movies use it?

[@LAOCHPadre]

Gin Blossoms anytime a movie needs to express 90's angst in a soft way.

[@erickpincay1305]

Don't stop me now by Queen was left out. That one scene in the movie that had action. (Examples Sonic, Shazam, Umbrella Academy, Shaun of the Dead, etc.)
