Songs ruined by overuse in movies?

I'll add Chariots Of Fire as well.

I loved the Family Guys through the years episode where Quagmire comes back from Vietnam and has Ptsd from hearing that song every five minutes while he was over there.

Already been said but I'll repeat Dont stop believing by Journey.

While it would be a tune ruined by movies and television(not that it was all that great to start with...) the Filter tune "Hey Man Nice Shot" is usually the first thing that I think of.

It was good in Shrek, which is the first time I saw it used in a movie. Hallelujah as well. But since then both songs are overused.

Honestly can't think of anything else I saw that used those songs.

Oh Yeah song by Yello. Becoming ever more a parody over the years, with every use in visually sexy moments.

Just saw it again on a TV show the other night. Walking on Sunshine by Katrina and the Waves.

I think only time I really enjoyed "Sympathy for the Devil" was when it was used at the end of "Interview With a Vampire". Other times...it felt kind of forced, IMO.

Don’t you mean “Sympathy For A Devil”?

No the song is "Sympathy for The Devil" Arf is right.

Wild Child and to a lesser extent The Passenger by Iggy Pop.

Maybe Atomic Dog by George Clinton

There's a few Classical pieces that are used quite often like Beethoven "Ode to joy" and O fortuna.

“Fortunate Son” in War (specifically Vietnam) movies.

Parodied here...:

Really, any song in a Vietnam-era movie has been overused. Because they only ever use the same 12 songs it feels like. Though Kong: Skull Island pulled out a few new tunes.

It was good in Shrek, which is the first time I saw it used in a movie. Hallelujah as well. But since then both songs are overused.

Hallelujah was used in Watchmen; and I liked Bad Reputation in Kick Ass


Holding out for a Hero has been used in tons of movies, but I always enjoy hearing it. Honestly, the worst use of this song was actually in Footloose- scoring a tractor race? Really?!

Although it's technically not in movies, "Ectacy of gold" from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly has certainly been overused in commercials.
