Quiz: Name the 80s Movie Based On The Song Update: Answers Added
Here's a change of pace until we get back into Biden's galloping dementia.
I've started the list with some easy ones, but then they get pretty hard, even a little obscure.
A few movies are such touchstones that I've pulled two songs each from them.
These songs aren't picked based on quality, but just on nostalgia factor and whether or not they make for a good question.
Go through all the songs and get your guesses ready before you go into the comments, because, of course, people will be posting their answers there.
In forty minutes, I will add all the answers to this post. For many, I have a clip of the song in the context of the movie, which is nice.
1. "Take My Breath Away," Berlin. Hint: "On your six." Another hint: "I have tone."
2. "I'm Alright" by Kenny Loggins. Hint: "So I've got that going for me, which is nice."
3. "Holiday Road" by Lindsay Buckingham. Hint: "Moose outside should have told ya."
4. "If You Leave," Orchestral Maneuvers in the Dark, or OMD, as all the cool kids like me knew them. Hint: "She thought you were shit, Steff. And deep down you knew she was right."
5. "Underground" by David Bowie. Hint: Mazes & Muppets.
6. "On Our Own," by Bobby Brown. Don't listen too long, he starts name-dropping the movie's title in it! Hint: The Statue of Liberty play. Another hint: Snarky exorcists.
7. "Moondance" by Van Morrison. Hint: Snarl. Growl. Another hint: "What's that star on the wall mean?" This isn't like the others were it's definitely an 80s song, but it was an important song in a big 80s movie.
8. "Makin' It," by David Naughton. Hint: "Is that a bra you're wearing or are you expecting an assassination?" Another hint: "Rudy the Rabbit." Last hint: "It just doesn't matter... It just doesn't matter..."
9. "I Can Dream About You," Dan Hartman. Hint: Plays at the end of the movie, with a fictitious band playing it. Another hint: "The only trouble with beating the shit out of you is that it would be too easy." Another hint: "A rock n' roll fable."
10. "Lunatic Fringe," Red Ryder. Hint: Sweats and cutting weight.
11. "If You Were Here," by Thompson Twins. Hint: "Now I have a place to put my hand!" Another Hint: "I'm not a farmer, I'm a freshman." This a very recognizable piece of music that had no life outside of the movie, except that I happened to own this group's first album, because, as previously stated, I was so cool. I'll be surprised if more than a couple of people get it.
12. "Melt With You" by Modern English. Hint: Romeo and Juliett in Encino (I assume, I've never seen it); early role for one of my favorite actors.
13. "Like to Get to Know You Well," by Howard Jones. Hint: French Camaro repair. Another hint: "Gee, I'm real sorry your mom blew up, Ricky."
14. "Everbody Wants to Rule the World" by Tears for Fears. This is a hard one but I bet you'll kick yourself after you see the answer. Hint: "It would be like lasing a stick of dynamite." Another hint: "Kent, this is GOD. I want you to stop playing with yourself."
15. "New York, New York" by... Queen. I can't link it because all videos would give it away. You can figure it out, though. Hint: "I'm Candy." "Of course you are." Also: "If he winssh the Prizshe, mortal man would shuffer an eternity of darknesshh!"
16. "You're the Best (Around)" by Joe Esposito. Hint: It's used as the song for a training montage. LOL, that's a joke hint -- every third 80s movie had a training montage set to a pop song. Not really much of a clue. Here's a better hint: " STRIKE FIRST. STRIKE HARD. NO MERCY SIR." Also: "Put him in a body bag!"
17. "Everybody Wants Some," by Van Halen. Hint: Mad Burger Science. Another hint: "The K-12." "Go that way, really fast. If something gets in your way... turn."
18. "American Girl" by Tom Petty was used to introduce the main female character, serving as her theme. The movie is an absolute foundational 80s movie. Hint: "If you're here and I'm here, doesn't that make it our time?" Another hint: "The attitude dictates that you don't care whether she comes, stays, lays, or prays. I mean whatever happens, your toes are still tappin'. Now when you got that, then you have the attitude."
19. "Up Where We Belong" by Joe Cocker and Jennifer Warner. Hint: "There's only two things that come out of Oklahoma: Steers and queers."
And now, for my favorite closing song and final helicopter shot of the 80s:
20. "Cheer Down," George Harrison. Hint: Action-adventure. "Diplomatic immunity."
BONUS ROUND FOR THE LADS:
These songs played over nudity, so most male Morons will know them well:
21. "Open Arms" by Journey. It played during the love/sex scene in this cartoon cult classic. Hint: "The Loc-Nar."
22. "Rubberband Man," the Spinners. Hint: Occupational comedy. Another hint: "You're weird, you're a mutant. You're a killer. You're a lean, mean, fightin' machine!" "I'll do it!"
23. The song that's absolutely seared, seared into the memories of all male Morons of a certain age: "Moving In Stereo" by The Cars. If needed, hint: "Those guys are f*gs, man!" And, critically: "Doesn't anyone f*cking knock anymore?"
Mike Damone: All right, now pay attention. First of all Rat, you never let on how much you like a girl.
[standing next to a life size cut out of Deborah Harry in a Record Store]
Mike Damone: "Oh, Debbie. Hi." Two, you always call the shots. "Kiss me. You won't regret it." Now three, act like wherever you are, that's the place to be. "Isn't this great?" Four, when ordering food, you find out what she wants, then order for the both of you. It's a classy move. "Now, the lady will have the linguini and white clam sauce, and a Coke with no ice." And five, now this is the most important, Rat. When it comes down to making out, whenever possible, put on side one of Led Zeppelin IV.
And I have never seen Vision Quest all the way through, but the soundtrack was killer. Best Madonna song by far.

5Another hint: "What's that star on the wall mean?" ++++
No clue. But it does remind my of the first time I noticed, particularly in the Midwest, the number of houses with big stars on an exterior wall. I asked around and was told it's rooted in Amish traditions and the star helps ward off evil spirits.

Man, I'll tell you, back in those days, that was real music. Me and ol' Corn Pop, before I had to put him in his place, used to jam to some great tunes. Of course, then Corn Pop decided to turn his life around and get to rappin. And, no joke, I'll say ol' Corn Pop really knew how to lay down the beat. In fact, Corn Pop was so good, I got him his first record deal! No joke, man! Corn Pop was the real deal rapper. Of course, I had to show him a few things to put him on the correct road. To bad about that time me an ol' Corn Pop had to get into it.. ended a beautiful friendship. I'm sure Beau would have liked to seen Corn Pop back in the day.

Partly. Romance is broadly dead and passe, too. Most women don't want it, most men don't want (or don't know how) to provide it and nobody really cares about its passing.
What's the point of a love song when romance doesn't exist?

It just dawned on me. The last movie I saw in a theater was Full Metal Jacket. Wow.That's like close to forty years ago. I like movies, and so many are available without having to spend $10 on a box of popcorn. One thing I have noticed is directors paying closer attention to historical things, one of the reasons I liked the Coen's True Grit over the original. Back to FMJ, that could have been filmed in my boot camp squad bay.

Oingo Boingo and Art of Noise were always linked in my mind for some reason. I don't know if they had any shared artists, but they stayed in the same category of music for me. Which is odd because they're pretty darn different. I like them both, though.
The movie, Something Wild, which features Melanie Griffith, was directed by Jonathan Demme.
Demme also directed one of the few professionally produced music videos by the obscure band, Suburban Lawns.
Now, if you never heard of Suburban Lawns, that's your loss, but a cameo role is played by Su Tissue, the lead "singer" of SL. She plays the pregnant wife of a guy who works with Jeff Daniels' character, and also seems to know both Griffith's and Ray Liotta's.
Nobody but me (and a few other weirdos on the internet) care about this, but I think it's the coolest thing ever, especially since Su has more or less disappeared from public life, and this was one of her last sightings.

You're not wrong, but OG Lethal Weapon was a pretty good movie. The sequels got progressively (har har har, cuz Donner) sillier and not as good. They also took too much liberty with the "Riggs is wild" trope, a plot point which was both relevant and more importantly fully resolved in the first movie.

>>It was memorable when it was new. Everyone does it now, but no one notices anymore. Maybe it's because the music sucks. I dunno. I don't know music.
Thing about the Zeitgeist is that it is everywhere and is all pervasive, and if a song was tied to a movie, you would know about it.
Even though I rarely go to a movie now I do watch trailers and I do watch YouTube and there really is nothing being incepted into the mix from movies, television or even streaming.

I saw the remake of that movie for free in a pre-release test screening.
During the final scene where Jude Law monologues to the camera for several minutes on end, my buddy and I lost it. We wouldn't stop ourselves from cracking up at the stupid absurdity of the entire thing. Several other dudes lost it almost immediately after.
Many teary-eyed women shot us *very* dirty looks.

Its reputation has grown significantly over the years. It was meta before that sort of ironic detachment was more common, and a lot of people just "didn't get it."
McTiernan also admits that he rushed the editing and that the film needed another month in the editing bay. I agree. It's pretty flabby in the middle where it should be tighter.

"You're not wrong, but OG Lethal Weapon was a pretty good movie. The sequels got progressively (har har har, cuz Donner) sillier and not as good. They also took too much liberty with the "Riggs is wild" trope, a plot point which was both relevant and more importantly fully resolved in the first movie.”
LW had a fascinating hook; take a guy who’s already dangerous and did very ugly stuff in Vietnam and give him no reason to care about whether he lives or dies. In the sequel, he’s in a better place, but he’s still grieving and then they kill his new love interest. So he’s still a mess.

Can I get some of that shit you're smoking? Cause it must be Fentanyl laced Crack to make you that delusional. See Ken Paxton and every Republican in TX, getting charged with whatever BS the DemonRats in Travis county can pull out of their asses. Remember Newt Gingrich getting charged with pure BS in the 90's? Even a "Republican" cuck like Mitch the Bitch would be charged with felonious mopery if he ran.

The White House Atty is spinning like a top. The main fig leaves are there was no willful intent or accidental and the comments about FJB's mental state was gratuitous.
