Donna Summer's "On the Radio". The way it is used at the end of the movie "Foxes" totally changes your perception of what I originally saw as a frivolous disco song.

The song I Got Five On It used in the movie US. Completely different vibe.

I never liked the Pina Colada song about a couple trying to cheat on each other. Then Gunn put it in Guardians, my favorite Marvel movie, and I associate it with Star-Lord cruising through space. I appreciate the music more than the message. That’s true for a lot of tracks on both movies, plus some songs like Lakeshore Drive, I had never even heard before.

Supernatural did the same thing for eighties rock music for me. I was aware of ACDC and so on, but I never bothered to listen to that ‘screaming’ as my mom calls it.

Because of Zodiac, Hurdy Gurdy Man will always be about stalking and killing people on the west coast during the late 60s. Apologies to Donovan, but that’s the only thing it evokes now.

"Where is my mind?" went from being a good song on a great album I hadn't listened to in a while, to being one of the leading tracks of my 1999 thanks to Fight Club.

Radiohead "You and Whose Army?" featured in Villeneuve's Incendies. It is now impossible for me to separate the two.

I love that song’s message though! It’s like a parable about love and communication and not being blinded by the mundane. Those two not only deserved each other, they complemented each other perfectly! I wish I could find someone who fits perfectly into my whole life, including my flaws.

I recently heard somewhere that great marriages aren’t great because they never come apart, but because they are defined by the coming back together again. I think that song is a beautiful example of that. Cheesy, saccharine, and unrealistic…but beautiful!

I'll say "Daisy" being sung during the scene in 2001: A Space Odyssey when HAL is "killed."

I've come to believe that this might be the first time that a film used a "slowed-down, tone-shifted" dark version of an upbeat song in order to create an eerie effect. As a kid, when I first experienced it, I remember thinking that other directors could use "altered" versions of songs to create strange moods; and it was satisfying to see this happen again and again over the years.

I don't remember if the movie actually played the song, but when Nicolas Cage said "it's you, Captain. You're the rocketman."

"If You Leave Me Now" in Three Kings.

"The Bluest Eyes in Texas" in Boys Don't Cry.

"Late for the Sky" in Taxi Driver.

All three songs I was completely indifferent to, but now whenever I hear them they take me right back to the emotions from watching the movies.

Personally, I first saw a version of it in a demonstration of DALL•E's variation feature, which added a haunting and robotic undertone to the video. I later learned that this particular version of Daisy Bell was the first ever song synthesized by a computer.

It doesn't really fit here but- I Really Wanna Stay at Your House, in Cyberpunk Edgerunners.

Probably heard the song a hundred times during the game and never thought anything of, now it strikes a sublimely painful chord.

The Utada Hikaru versions of Fly Me to the Moon and the other songs in the Evangelion remakes.

That System of a Down song in The One with Jet Li.

Mamma Mia in Muriel's Wedding. The scene where they keep singing and smiling while they goad the other two other women into a fist fight is hilarious.
