If you remember some of the songs in movies, some memorable and some...not so memorable. Well, what songs were the worst and what were the best? First, we'll talk about the worst.
Just downright racist: What makes the red man red was a song from the Disney animated movie "Peter Pan" After they save Tiger Lily, they are treated to a celebration. Having a song playing by Indians saying what makes the red man red? Now a days...it makes us embarrassed. I prefer the Return to Neverland songs they had. This movie was ok, but not that memorable for me
Just downright embarrassing: Ninja Rap from the movie Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: II Secret of the Ooze. The movie was ok, better than those Michael Bay movies. What didn't win me over was the ending of the movie. First off...near the end with the turtles fight against Shredder, they end up at a Vanilla Ice concert. They start fighting, win...and at the end they, and Vanilla Ice start singing a Ninja Rap. This was at the hype of Vanilla Ice's career.
Just not a great song: Hakuna Matata is a song that is meant to be a cheerful song, but in my opinion...it annoys me so. Why? Well, I don't mind the song it's just an earworm to hear over and over again. There are better songs in the movie like "Be Prepared" and "Can you feel the night" and especially "Circle of Life" Movie is amazing that's for sure. The remake...it was ok
Just Downright Forgettable: A guy like you ... remember the Disney movie A Hunchback of Notre Dame. A dark movie that was still entreating in some parts?? The adults might remember some of the scenes, but the kids will remember the hilarious gargoyles. They had a song called a guy like you. I don't remember it that well...do you?
Just downright ripped off: Come with me is a song that is remembered for a few reasons. One of those reasons is because P. Diddy performed it. He's ok and all, but he ripped the song from a Led Zepplin song. I like the song, but I think Led Zepplin's version was better. I'm sorry but the other offense is it was for a movie that did poorly in the box office. Godzilla 1998. Like a song, that movie was a rip off too
Just downright horrible: Wild, Wild West We know about the slap seen around the world, but before all that, Will Smith was in a horrible movie. Wild, Wild West was based on a TV show that they made movie for. Not only did the movie did horrible...the songs weren't great either. I mean "wild, wild west" was also a horrid song. Skip both
Now that you know what songs to avoid when seeing a movie, here are some of the songs that are 100 percent worth hearing, even if you don't see the movie
LOSE YOURSELF: If you've seen the movie 8 mile, you would know the story. Back around that time, Eminem was becoming a new rapper. After this movie, he was known than just Sim Shady. Eminem is still considered a pretty good singer. But when I was in high school, going onto college, this movie came out. Now...it's almost twenty years old. Damn how time flies
STREETS OF PHILADELPHA: You know what's sad about this song, how real it is to life. I live around Philadelphia and in 1993, there were streets that were not livable. Now...29 years later, this Bruce Springsteen song is still amazing. The movie brought us to tears. Tom Hanks plays a man with Aids and Denzel Washington is his lawyer helping him out on a case of Aids discrimination. The song is still great...and it won an Oscar for best song.
HERO: For the first Spiderman movie, the lead of Nickelback decided to create a song called Hero. The song can be annoying to some yes, but to me...it's listenable. I would find it heartwarming with some interesting lyrics. It's a love and hate kind of song. There are people that can't deal with it while others think it's an amazing song.
CIRCLE OF LIFE: There are many versions of this song, but the original sung by Carmen Twille is the one to listen to. I love it, one of the best Disney songs of all time. From the movie the Lion King, this song is where the movie starts. With Rafiki holding a young Simba. At the end, they reprise the song and Simba's daughter is held up to the sky.
OVER THE RAINBOW: There are so many singers that made this song special. But the one that started it...Judy Garland. They almost cut the song out of the movie all together. If that happened, we would never have gotten an amazing gem of a song for a movie about a young farm girl in a fantasy world. There have been famous singers creating their own version, but if you want the first...see Wizard of Oz
GANGSTA PARADISE: A song for the movie Dangerous Minds, Coolio created a music video based on his life. I think this song is considered amazing. I enjoyed it...but I never seen the movie. The song remarks on Coolio's life and hard it is to be alive in a world full of death. I wish I saw the movie with Michelle Phiffer in it. The song is pretty good, and was nominated, only to lose to another.
ONE LAST SONG I WANT TO TALK ABOUT:
BEAUTY AND THE BEAST: From the Disney movie of the same name this song, if sung by Angela Lansbury or any other talented singer, is amazing. Even won an Oscar for best song. To me...this is my favorite Disney Movie. (The Original not the crappy remake) Two other songs also were nominated that year. I don't know why, but like I will always love you by Whitney Houston, this song deserves to be the best.
My Heart Will go on, The Rocky Theme, the theme from Shaft, I will always love you... These songs are movie gold. Many winning best original songs, while other songs can make our ears bleed...these songs are worth the listening to.
