It also wasn't an original for the movie.

""I Will Always Love You" - Bodyguard"

IIRC, that song was originally made by Dolly Parton before the movie was ever made.

"I Believe I Can Fly" was seriously overplayed (they sang that song at freshman orientation at A&T), but it's still pretty good.

"The Theme from Shaft" - Isaac Hayes

Indeed. Written, recorded, and published by Dolly Parton, so she made $texas when Whitney covered it.

Also, "Singin' in the Rain" and the other songs in that flick were not written for it...the songs were sitting in a vault for years and the movie was written for the songs.

This song is not an original. It was recorded in 1979 by Joy Division.

I would have mentioned the transformers movie, but I thought people would think I was joking. And "Dare" is a better song, really...

7/2/2006 1:01:18 PM

Lost Highway had some good songs but i dont remember if any of them were original:
NIN - Perfect Drug
Smashing Pumpkins - Eye

7/2/2006 2:28:59 PM

^ Those two only appeared on that soundtrack, but I don't think they were neccessarily original. I know that "Eye" was a last minute replacement for a Pixies song that they couldn't get the rights to, so it might've just been sitting around Corgan's bedroom.
