Let's Get Interactive . . . MOVIE SONGS!!!

If at first you don't succeed. . .

I have decided to give this another go after the overwhelming success of my first attempt (yes, that's sarcasm). This one should be a little bit easier, hopefully. Also I made the title more exciting. Note the CAPITALIZATION and EXCLAMATION POINTS!!! If that doesn't get you people excited, I don't know what will.

This one, as the title suggests, is about movie songs. I will give you the name of a song and the performer/group who is most associated with that song. The songs are either the theme for a movie or were featured in a fairly famous scene. Also, I got a little carried away and used fifteen songs. That's 50% more trivia for your money!

If you do not know how to play the game you should consult my first post. Feel free to listen to the songs if you don't recall how they go. I have also added hints to my first post for those of you who still want to try figuring those out.

Enough jibba jabba! Here are the songs.

1. Over the Rainbow, Judy Garland (singer)

2. My Heart Will Go On, Celine Dion

3. Bohemian Rhapsody, Queen

4. Stayin' Alive, Bee Gees

5. Old Time Rock and Roll, Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band

6. I Don't Want to Miss a Thing, Aerosmith

7. Mrs. Robinson, Simon & Garfunkel

8. The Banana Boat Song (Day-0), Harry Belafonte
(HINT: It involves dead people!)

9. Everything I Do, I Do It for You, BA (aka Bryan Adams) :)

10. Gonna Fly Now, Bill Conti
(HINT: Listen to this one if you can)

11. Tequila, The Champs

12. Some Day My Prince Will Come, Adriana Caselotti (singer)
(HINT: It's a Disney movie. But which one????)

13. Man of Constant Sorrow, Soggy Bottom Boys

14. As Time Goes By, Dooley Wilson (singer)

15. Ride of the Valkyries, Richard Wagner (composer)
(HINT: The scene involves helicopters and napalm.) :(

Good luck to you!

P.S. Here's a link to a YouTube video of my favorite musical scene from a movie. I had a hard time choosing since there are a lot of good moments, but this one really stuck in my head the first time I saw it. It's also from one of my favorite movies. You can let me know what your favorite musical movie moment is if you like.

  3. Well done, Dude. I knew the Disney movie would stump someone. MWAHAHA!

    I consider the Needle in the Hay scene to be more memorable that the one I linked to, but I didn't think I could call it my favorite.

  5. Some of us like Disney movies. 12 is Snow White. You hit my favorite with Over the Rainbow. But I also loved the Jolly Holiday scene in Mary Poppins.
