Songs from the Movies and TV
This is by far not a comprehensive list. I limited it to songs that are closely associated with a movie or television show. In some cases, The Magnificent Seven for example, it was not only the title theme but also prominent throughout the movie.
Other songs were written for the movie, such as Today for Advance to the Rear. This one is a surprise to most people. It sounds like a traditional folk song, but was written in 1964 for a movie about the Civil War a hundred years before.
I mostly left out songs that only make an incidental appearance as part of the movie soundtrack. For example, I did a search and found that Ray Charles' What'd I Say shows up in the credits of at least 53 movies, but since it is not closely associated with any of them, I didn't include them. I did include it for the biographical movie, Ray as it's obviously closely related to the film. For the same reasoning, I included The Buddy Holly Story and The Glenn Miller Story biographical movies and associated songs in the list.
I didn't include initially You Don't Own Me from The First Wives Club as I considered it just incidental. However, a "first wife" friend convinced me that it was a key element of the film's finale.
If you know of a song that should be included, send me a note on the Contact Me page and I'll add it to the list.
