Movie Music....

How did i miss this????   http://www.lebowskifest.com/
I suggest all the dudes check for a fest in your area.


Now back to the show....

Wanted to do something about the songs or music we love from our favorite movies. Something about a song and the images that make the movie memeorable. Who can forget the opening scene of Caddyshack?
"I'm Alright" by Kenny Loggins and a dancing gopher... Pure classic!! Of course Mr. Loggins  gets credit for another great movie song, "Highway to the Danger Zone" F-14's,  Tom Cruise and Val  Kilmer (no homo), Goose and Hollywood... Brings back summer days of the mid 80's and a first kiss.

Speaking of love, ok maybe lust and a lot of raging teenage hormones, Fast Times at Ridgemont High and Phoebe Cates....Thanks to the Cars " Moving in Stereo" we have one of the hottest scenes ever. We all hoped we never got caught like Brad...haha!

Motivation is the key to doing anything. Who hasn't cranked up the theme from Rocky when we needed that little extra something. How bout the training scene in Rocky 4 and the song "Hearts on Fire" Pure classic right there... Another one to dig out is "One Vision" by Queen. Made the movie Iron Eagle. Don't we all wish we could just hop in an F-16 and rescue our dad? 

Of course there are some songs that just plain bring out the fun.... Blues Brothers is full of great music. But the one that stands out is "Rawhide" Who can forget John Belushi cracking the whip behind the chicken wire? Makes me want to head out to Billy Bob's Country bunker and throw beer bottles....
But the greatest party song has to be "Shout" by Otis Day and the Knights. Who didn't put on a toga and do the alligator like the members of Delta Tau Chi? Definitely worth doubel secret probation.

I am sure everyone has a list of songs that they love from other movies. Please share! This is the stuff that makes us laugh, and dare I say it? Cry...yup Dudes can do that. Hope these songs bring out some good memories and times. If not just always look on the bright side of life....
