[@4Mr.Crowley2]

Watching SNF as an adult - is a radically different experience. It’s no “disco romp.” Saturday night Fever is an incredibly dark film (watching it as an adult was just crushing - horrible things happen to innocent characters - including the brutal SA of a neighborhood girl who trusts the guys as her friends and the vicious betrayal is devastating, has a sad unrequited “love story,” random racially-motivated hate and violence, constant belittling, terrible physical abuse and domestic violence at home, profound mental health issues, etc). There are *many* very dark events, and it’s basically implied that Travolta will *never* escape his working class roots (the “sequel” is completely worthless so I’m not even mentioning it). The same is the case of “Staying Alive” - the lyrics are brutal and reflect the empty, bleak reality of Travolta’s world - basically trying to outru, the void, which wlewys, inevitable, catches up.

[@laurenpatrick4609]

Umm no. Nonsuch thing as too much for queen songs

[@lynbaker7780]

Walking on Sunshine is often used to quickly set up a quirky (yet very likable) character’s introduction to a show. Example: when the character of Charlie was introduced on Supernatural, she is walking into a very subdued office building. She has her headphones on and is listening to the song. As soon as she steps onto a glass elevator that is empty, she energetically begins to dance until she abruptly stops when the elevator stops and she steps off and back into a subdued role. No other song can take 30 seconds and set up that characterization so well.

The spots on the video where the songs are got a bit messed up but the main one is 19:09 "Let's get it ON' is just not there and is only Bohemian Rhapsody. Probably really really busy whoever had that job I suppose because it is really fast the transitions and songs so I can see why...Besides my nit picking really another badass and interesting video from WatchMojo ! I've never enjoyed cut up clips or discussing just a mess of clips until I encountered WatchMojo...! Ya'll somehow are storytelling with just clips of other storytelling I am just now realizing. The lack of dead air and the getting down to the nitty and gritty and introspectiveness you dive into with all your topics instead of treading lightly unsure and leaving the clips to play too long, you hit us with thoughts to take with us and dive into as our lives unfold and we re-play all of this media in a new light the next time we experience them...You do so much more it's hard to put in a box so..I won't Keep on keepin on Mojojojo ! Bravo! (long time fan and not ending anytime soon! )

Thanks for covering almost every major "What was that song called again"?

[@chrisspiers6310]

I will never get tired of listening to “Hallelujah”! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@countessratzass5408]

Jeff Buckley’s is the definitive version.

[@VeronicaValentine2236]

A lot of these are good songs and I’m rocking out to them!

[@abdi348]

Did anyone else see an ad using one of these songs! I just herd the instrumental for walking on sunshine.

The Jaws theme is used in a lot of comedies, usually when an obnoxious character is approaching.

[@shanemerrigan1994]

I'm glad that "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell wasn't on the list. Yes, it's been used often (Stepmom, Remember the Titans, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Titans), but damn if it's not used well every single time.

Love that song

[@hozhabrshishehgar9684]

You forgot to put Love is Strange :) The guitar riff just hits in every slow motion or gangsta scene

[@AlpacaBBQ]

Should also mention that All Along the Watchtower is played during the finale of the move Watchmen, and the story is based on the songs lyrics.

I swear to God, whenever I hear “Low Rider”, I think George Lopez is on.

[@countessratzass5408]

Best one chord song ever.

[@OVERSEEROFRAP]

ABC by the Jackson 5 gets played a lot

[@jambuzzbuzz55]

lol when asking people to subscribe and RING the bell I thought you might have used YOU CAN RING MY BELL by Anita Ward in the background, just a thought lol

[@CHURR4SCOP4LT4]

What's the name of that typical song you have when the characters reunite after they where separated and they have a slowmo hug scene?
