Songs tainted by movies/ shows...

The Cars' "Just What I Needed" in those Circuit City commercials

[TimWillTell]

Mrs Robinson doesn't really belong in this thread.

But because I saw the Graduate four years after I first heard Mrs Robinson and it kind of ruined the song for me; I put it in here anyway.

I think some of these are good associations, like the Pixies at the end of Fight Club. I love that scene, and it wouldn't be the same without the song.

Sweet Home Alabama on the KFC commercials is awful. Hearing a Nirvana song in a movie (Jarhead) was disturbing too.

"Canon in D major" Composed by Johann Pachelbel.

This is a beautiful piece of music which I can only associate with "Ordinary People." It is frequently used as a wedding processional in Jewish weddings (not big fans of Strauss) and it always depresses me. I refused to have it played at my wedding.

Disagree. Pure pop, strong chorus, good lyrics. The harmonies are worth the price of admission. Only the stuttering/repeating makes it a little cheesy.
