“Life is a Highway,” by Tom Cochrane and later by Rascal Flatts for anytime the characters take a road trip. Ravel’s Bolero used whenever there’s a seduction scene. “Luck Be a Lady,” composed by Frank Loesser. Any time gambling or luck is involved. “I Feel Pretty,” written by Stephen Sondheim and Leonard Bernstein from the 1957 musical West Side Story. Used in so many movies, T.V. Shows in parodies, for the most part. There are so many classic songs used in film. Thing you have enough to make a part two.

Terminator 2 was the first movie that introduced me to Bad to the Bone, and every time I hear it, I always think of that scene. Iron Man 1 and 2 introduced me to AC/DC, and later it would be Supernatural that made fall in love with classic rock and also introduced me to what has now become my favorite song of all time thanks to Supernatural, Carry On Wayward Son. You can't say no to the classics, both movies, TV shows, and songs. Speaking of which, that was so cool hearing Watchmojo lady singing at the end there. Watchmojo and their other channels should do a video of them singing. I would totally watch that.

(For what it's worth) FWIW is not really an anti war protest song. It was originally written by Stephen Stills in 1966 at the height of the 'Hippie Riot' on Sunset Strip evolving from a 10pm curfew being enforced to keep the growing young music goers from congregating around the other local businesses and crowding the streets. The Whiskey A Go Go and other clubs were being hassled for being too rowdy. Pandora's Box was forced to close by 1967 because of pressure by city officials.. Just thought it was worth mentioning cuz the song is (in a sense?) misused in movies as an anti Vietnam war song. Apparently more than legend has it the main night of protesters included a rebellious Jack Nicholson and Peter Fonda (Fonda actually handcuffed). Kind of interesting, no?!

“Staying Alive” by the Beegees should be in more movies/ tv shows, I’ve seen it been played in fighting/gun scenes and “moment” dancing scenes. Really makes it notable.

I'm surprised more people just haven't said Frank Sinatra songs: (Specifically) My Way; New York; and Summer Wind (I do like Summer Wind as a Sinatra best) tidbit: Summer Wind was originally a German song performed in 1965. Wayne Newton first recorded English version written by Johnny Mercer. (wikipedia comes in handy sometimes.) hit for Frankie in '66.

Sarah McLachlan's "Angel" was overplayed for a while, until it got supplanted by "Hallelujah" as the go-to mawkish moment song.
