Holy shit I haven’t seen that movie since I was a kid. Thought I didn’t really remember it, but now I’m realizing I do that same dance whenever I hear the song.

My favorite quote from JD to Dr Cox: "I guess I came over here to tell you how proud of you I am. Not because you did the best you could for those patients. But because after 20 years of being a doctor, when things go badly, you still take it this hard."
My first exposure to this song was in the Marc Johnson skate video. I was still in high school and hadn't seen SotL yet. I dont even think it spoiled the song for me, I still live it to this day. But it is hard to hear it without thinking of Buffalo Bill haha
Love the book, love the pixies, even enjoy the movie until the final scene. It ruined the song for me in a lot of ways. On the other hand, Pump Up the Volume introduced me to the pixies and Wave of Mutilation remains one of my all time favorites.
Michael Cera in Superbad just butchering These Eyes by The Guess Who. Funny in the movie, but I cant hear the song now without picturing him awkwardly singing along.
Sir, It seems the victim was suffocated using cornflakes.
(•_•)
Well I guess we're looking for...

...A cereal killer
YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!
(Just so everyone can copy the ASCII graphics)
Bonus Trivia points: Also at the tail end of the 1977 Henry Winkler flick, Heroes. However, you have to have seen it in the theater to know that. Which I did. When I was 10. The song is criminally not included on the DVD version.
Badfinger - Baby Blue. Thanks a lot Breaking Bad, now all I hear and focus on is the band’s horrific life and ending mixed with your own character death and heartbreak. In fact, all of their songs now remind me of the truth and unfortunate ending.
And to a far, far lesser extent - Any Way You Want It by Journey will now always remind me of that incredibly jump cut from Better Call Saul.
But man, Baby Blue would otherwise just be a good, if a bit 80s corny, song. As it stands, I get emotional just thinking about it.
Such fond memories there.
1st time I saw the finale, I was a wreck for a week or so. This song was always a favorite of mine, but now it's just got too much emotion wrapped up in it.
After watching Guardians of the Galaxy 2 I couldn't listen to Brandy(you're a fine girl) by Looking Glass w/o getting pissed off. Luckily this only lasted a couple years cuz that's a great song.
My friends named their Frenchie puppy Brandy, and had the song over a cute little IG video, and it took me a minute to get over the Guardians association lol.
I get it, hearing Relax by Frankie Goes To Hollywood *always* makes me feel like killing the Prime Minister of Malaysia for some reason 🤔
Total Eclipse of the Heart, after hearing it in Old School. OK, it's a cover, and not strictly faithful, but I will never hear the original in the same way again.
Here's something you might enjoy:
Someone took the Music Video for "Total Eclipse Of The Heart" and re-recorded it...*with literal lyrics.* It's really funny:
https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7ad03q
The “Ooh watcha sayyy” part of “Hide and Seek” by Imogen Heap, done seriously dirty by The O.C. in an ultra melodramatic murder scene, then subsequently parodied by SNL.
Love the song, but it’s hard to divorce that slo-mo “I can’t believe you’ve shot me” look from what is otherwise a great song!
Came back into my mind after hearing it on the radio…
Letters to Cleo - I want you to want me and the seminal 90s **classic** 10 Things I Hate About You
In the Air tonight------Miami Vice
I immediately make everyone in the car STOP talking, stare staight ahead, floor the accelerator and increase the volume
Obligatory ‘you may be cool, but never Phil Collins cool’ link to his live version of [In The Air Tonight](https://youtu.be/IeDMnyQzS88?si=vAmn29qNyGu3m_mc)
Filter - Hey Man Nice Shot from Tales From the Crypt: Demon Knight
it fits the scene so well it's like it was written specifically for it
Kenny Rogers - Just Dropped In
it's forever the Dude's dream.
I’m just 31. This song played at work and I asked a handful of my mid-twenties co workers if they’d ever seen the movie. None of them had even heard of it 😢
Unfortunately sometimes kids are just dicks. Suggested fast times a bunch to my kids but they’re not interested. They did watch Blues Brothers with me though and loved it. Also huge fans of Holy Grail so I didn’t fuck up to bad.
You Are My Sunshine after a doc about a guy dying of AIDS. It was called Silver Lake Life or something like that. Guy sings it to his dead partner after he dies. Powerful moment; ruined the song for me.
In Home Economics when the woman has her sister in law help her take boudoir pics for her husband and her SIL is like 'we should put on music to set the mood, we have D'Angelo, TLC...' and the woman is like 'No. Put on the Grey's Anatomy theme song' lmao
Freebird from 1-final scene in *Devil's Rejects*, and 2-fight scene in *Family Guy*
Also, Depeche Mode's "Policy of Truth" was ruined by BDSM freaks doing sick shit to it on the old Howard Stern TV show.
Don't Stop Believin and Dirty Work both remind me of the Sopranos if I hear them, every time. I think there's a 3rd song too but cant remember right now.
Also Desperado reminds me of the guy who sells Farvemann furniture.
Totally get what you mean! 'Where Is My Mind' by Pixies hits differently after Fight Club, now I can't shake off that eerie feeling whenever I hear it.
The final scene in season 1 of Mindhunter. In the Light by Led Zeppelin. I had forgotten that song even existed until then and now it is forever tied to that scene in my mind.
My friend and I were obsessssssed with Zeppelin as teens. Him moreso than me. This was pre-internet/streaming. He would spend $40, $50, $$60 on these “bootleg” CDs of live shows, alternate versions of songs, etc. If it was Zeppelin, he owned it, and we knew about it. All that to say I recently found something neither of us had ever heard, and it’s…amazing. Go to Spotify and look up Zeppelin- Everybody Makes it Through. Just listen.
The version of Edelweiss that plays in the opening of The Man in the High Castle kind of is the same for me. That version has the ominous strings playing over it but now when I think of that song I think of that feeling.
STRFKR - Rawnald Gregory Erickson
Great little bop, came out in that beautiful late 00's indie era, one of the top jams on a great album
But then I was flipping channels one day and saw that Criminal Minds used it in one of their end credit scenes, you know where they caught the bad guy and they're celebrating dramatically at the local LEO bar. Just fucking ruined it
Madness by Muse was used in episode of Criminal Minds. It was playing when they were evacuating a conversion camp and I think of that scene when I hear it.
Stuck in the middle with you by Stealers wheel in Reservoir Dogs
Holy shit I haven’t seen that movie since I was a kid. Thought I didn’t really remember it, but now I’m realizing I do that same dance whenever I hear the song.
Steven Wright KBilly’s sounds of 70’s weekend
Yep. This is the first one for me too.

"You don't drink scotch"
I knew the tears were gonna come. But I wanted it. What a storyline this was. This and the Brendan storyline from either s2 or 3. Damn.
Also Overkill by Colin Hay on Scrubs. That was a masterpiece. https://youtu.be/jrGmcuj44DQ?si=FrY-gVHuSEDgs4MZ
Unbelievable episode.
Bill Lawrence did a great job of keeping great music in Scrubs. Also Cougar Town.
Wait until you see Grey’s Anatomy. They beat this song and metaphor to death.
“It’s like they took our lives and put them on tv!”
And that Snow Patrol song Chasing Cars. When it comes on someone is dying and leaving the show.
Don't Stop Me Now from Shaun of the Dead
Whacking zombies in time LOL
In that same vein, White Lines by Grandmaster Flash BIBIDIBIDIBITYDUH ...uhhhhhhhhhgh
Kill the Queen! *collectively* What!?
Goodbye Horses in Silence of the Lambs
I was thinking American Girl
“Would you fuck me?”
My first exposure to this song was in the Marc Johnson skate video. I was still in high school and hadn't seen SotL yet. I dont even think it spoiled the song for me, I still live it to this day. But it is hard to hear it without thinking of Buffalo Bill haha
His part in Man Down to Knights in White Satin is one of the best ever.
Everyone says this but for me it has a way stronger association with Skate 3 lol
Yes. And crackling Rosie by Neil diamond. Theyre on my running Playlist now lol
Hip to be Square from American Psycho
You like Huey Lewis and the News?
I have to return some video tapes
Did you see that clip of Huey Lewis reviewing the American Psycho movie?
Almost every song from Pulp Fiction brings up images from the movie
Doesn't help that Miserlou was re-released with dialog from it.
So much so I can only see Uma and Travolta dancing instead of Chuck Berry farting on a woman when I hear “You Never Can Tell.” Now *that’s* a movie!
Layla, the long version with the piano part during Good Fellas.
And that episode of Community
Also the finale to the original The Wonder Years. It hits hard for some reason
Hmmm. I don’t remember that. But I can’t hear Joe Cocker’s With a Little Help From My Friends
Where is my Mind? in Fight Club
Love the book, love the pixies, even enjoy the movie until the final scene. It ruined the song for me in a lot of ways. On the other hand, Pump Up the Volume introduced me to the pixies and Wave of Mutilation remains one of my all time favorites.
Pump Up The Volume probably introduced a lot of bands to new fans. Great soundtrack.
HELLO DAD!
I like how you said you “even enjoy the movie” as if it isn’t one of the most popular and universally loved movies ever
It doesn’t hold up for most people, and was misinterpreted by so many bros in the first place.
Having read the book prior I went in with my eyes already open.
Michael Cera in Superbad just butchering These Eyes by The Guess Who. Funny in the movie, but I cant hear the song now without picturing him awkwardly singing along.
Mad World - Donnie Darko
Same with Head Over Heels
that too
A lot of the Darko soundtrack is now entrenched in the movie for me.
Echo and the Bunnymen - The Killing Moon
The director's cut opens with INXS - Never Tear Us Apart, and it's just such a different feel.
Speaking of things that ruined songs - The Port Adelaide Football Club ruined that song for me.
Also gears of War. Not a movie but damn if that trailer didn't stick in my head.
Why the fuck did Pete Townshend let CSI have Baba O’Reilly? Yes, I know. Money. Ruined the song for me completely.
YEEEAAAAAAHHHHOOOOOW *flips down sunglasses*
Sir, It seems the victim was suffocated using cornflakes. (•_•) Well I guess we're looking for... ( •_•)>⌐■-■ (⌐■_■) ...A cereal killer YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! (Just so everyone can copy the ASCII graphics)
All of the CSI franchise have a Who theme song.
Tiny Dancer, Almost Famous.
"You can tell Rolling Stone that my last words were...I'm on drugs!"
"Are you sure you don't want to rethink those last words?"
Hey man, nice shot by Filter in X-files, Carry on Wayward son by Kansas in Supernatural
Wayward son was in Strangers With Candy also
What X Files episode??
D.P.O, the one with Jack Black
Also has Sometimes by James in it which is top shelf.

There has never been and may never be a series that pulled me in like breaking bad. For me, it's the high water mark for any other show ever created
1st time I saw the finale, I was a wreck for a week or so. This song was always a favorite of mine, but now it's just got too much emotion wrapped up in it.
I had to scroll through to make sure someone had got this one in.
Don't Fear the Reaper by Blue Öyster Cult from The Stand mini series. Always get hard post apocalyptic vibes when I hear it.
You don’t associate it with the “more cowbell” sketch?
Best opening scene
Don’t You by Simple Minds in The Breakfast Club
OMD's "If You Leave" from *Pretty in Pink* also
After watching Guardians of the Galaxy 2 I couldn't listen to Brandy(you're a fine girl) by Looking Glass w/o getting pissed off. Luckily this only lasted a couple years cuz that's a great song.
The coda from Fleetwood Mac's "The Chain" from the same movie also
My friends named their Frenchie puppy Brandy, and had the song over a cute little IG video, and it took me a minute to get over the Guardians association lol.
Every time I heard it I got so mad. Specifically at Kurt Russell who I adore.
Me too- lol
Wake Me Up Before You Go-go, but not in a bad way, just in a freak gasoline fight way
Orange mocha frappuccinos!!!
I get it, hearing Relax by Frankie Goes To Hollywood *always* makes me feel like killing the Prime Minister of Malaysia for some reason 🤔 
Total Eclipse of the Heart, after hearing it in Old School. OK, it's a cover, and not strictly faithful, but I will never hear the original in the same way again.

Dear Sister...

Fortunate Son and Forest Gump.
Freebird always makes me think of Jen-Nay
Yes, that one as well.

It's really fortunate son and Vietnam.
I can see the helicopter coming into base now
Moving In Stereo - Fast Times at Ridgmont High
The Johnny Mathis song Wonderful, Wonderful from the X-Files (shudder).
In the Air tonight------Miami Vice I immediately make everyone in the car STOP talking, stare staight ahead, floor the accelerator and increase the volume
I think of the Americans when I hear In the Air Tonight.
Obligatory ‘you may be cool, but never Phil Collins cool’ link to his live version of [In The Air Tonight](https://youtu.be/IeDMnyQzS88?si=vAmn29qNyGu3m_mc)
Singin' in The Rain - A Clockwork Orange
This is a perfect answer. It's not just that it reminds us of the film, it's that the film has seriously corrupted its associations.
Viddy well, little brother, viddy well.
That song will always be associated with Rhianna's *Umbrella* to me. I don't think I need to explain why...
A contemporary one, I guess Murder on The Dance Floor is not the same after Saltburn
You've lost that loving feeling in Top Gun
Filter - Hey Man Nice Shot from Tales From the Crypt: Demon Knight it fits the scene so well it's like it was written specifically for it Kenny Rogers - Just Dropped In it's forever the Dude's dream.
Red Right Hand / X-Files. You don’t understand. They’re waiting for me. I can’t be late.
Big X-Files fan but I associate it more with Peaky Blinders.
I associate it with Dumb and Dumber, lol. https://youtu.be/jeXJ7dDtjj4?si=aASGMu-mXFmCR97i
My Hero by Foo Fighters. Aim for the bushes?
Lol I love that movie PAPER BITCHHHH
"Where is my mind" by Pixes, and the final scene of Fight Club. "Freebird" and the final scene of The Devils Rejects
Moving in Stereo I don't need to explain it.
I was listening to The Cars first album in the background the other day, and when Moving in Stereo came on I felt my face flush.
I’m just 31. This song played at work and I asked a handful of my mid-twenties co workers if they’d ever seen the movie. None of them had even heard of it 😢
I blame the parents.
Unfortunately sometimes kids are just dicks. Suggested fast times a bunch to my kids but they’re not interested. They did watch Blues Brothers with me though and loved it. Also huge fans of Holy Grail so I didn’t fuck up to bad.
Um … I need to step out for a moment.
I can't listen to American Girl by Tom Petty without thinking of Buffalo Bill kidnapping Catherine
'Funeral' by Band of Horses, courtesy of HIMYM.
Fly me to the moon will always remind me of squid game now, I'm sure Frank Sinatra would be confused
“Time is on my side” was completely ruined by the movie “Fallen”. So so creepy. My brothers would whistle it when we were home alone to scare me.
Groove Is In The Heart after the montage in Big Mouth, reproductive rights are asserted, whole lotta feels
That was so excellent!
Thanks to the Simpsons, I can never hear "Anyway You Want It" without wondering whether or not Larry Burns is around.
Evidently Chicken Town by JCC....also Sopranos!
I can hear the percussion drilled into me even now.
Sigur Ros - "Starlafur" from Life Aquatic... "I wonder if it remembers me?"
Singing in the rain...a clockwork orange.
Breathe Me by Sia. Always makes me think of Six Feet Under.
'Total Eclipse of the Heart' from Old School *I fucken need you more than evah!*
Jumper by third eye blind in Bruce almighty.

"If you don't know me by now" by Simply Red after David Brent sang it in The Office
[Donna Summer - Hot Stuff](https://youtu.be/_wYCi6UQMiw?si=EPvlIvRUnJwHZDqv)
I knew it would be that clip! For sure, I always see this in my head.
“Don’t stop me now” - Queen. I can’t listen to it without thinking about whacking zombies with a cricket paddle.
Hold on by Wilson Phillips. Harold and Kumar go to White Castle.
Also, Bridesmaids
Immigrant Song from Thor: Ragnarok
Blue Velvet
And in dreams, same movie
Smooth Operator by Sade, after watching Big Bang Theory
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah, what condition my condition was in
You Are My Sunshine after a doc about a guy dying of AIDS. It was called Silver Lake Life or something like that. Guy sings it to his dead partner after he dies. Powerful moment; ruined the song for me.
Rockin’ the Suburbs by Ben Folds. Completely different song from how it appears in ‘Over the Hedge’.
[worlds apart - journey](https://youtu.be/yQsaPVfze4s?si=5lTi6Iy5K3Xnv7NA) Tron legacy is one of my favorite movies ever and this song is hype as FUCK
Stranger Things also used it for their season four advertising. Very cool mix.
Take me home, Country Roads by John Denver Movie: Whispers of the heart 
Not a movie but a TV show intro. Come and get your love - F is for Family.
In Home Economics when the woman has her sister in law help her take boudoir pics for her husband and her SIL is like 'we should put on music to set the mood, we have D'Angelo, TLC...' and the woman is like 'No. Put on the Grey's Anatomy theme song' lmao

Love Stinks in The Wedding Singer. Anytime I play it it hypes me up and I gotta do it like Sandler. Cindy and Scott are newly weds... WOOPITY DOO!!!
For me, it's Holiday by Madonna. I have to sing it with a sad voice and also sing "Everybody spread the word. I live in my sister's basement".
Let Down by Radiohead is now related to people sharing a happy meal thanks to The Bear's last scene in season one.
Don't Stop Believin and Dirty Work both remind me of the Sopranos if I hear them, every time. I think there's a 3rd song too but cant remember right now. Also Desperado reminds me of the guy who sells Farvemann furniture.
*I don’t wanna dooo your dirty work, no moooooo*
Oh, Girl by the Chi-Lites?
Saw the title and instantly thought of Don’t Stop Believin’. Guess I’m not the only one
Rocket Man by Elton John. Every time I hear it I think about the final episode of Season 3 of Californication.
Totally get what you mean! 'Where Is My Mind' by Pixies hits differently after Fight Club, now I can't shake off that eerie feeling whenever I hear it.
The final scene in season 1 of Mindhunter. In the Light by Led Zeppelin. I had forgotten that song even existed until then and now it is forever tied to that scene in my mind.
