I name the song. You name the movie.

One person names a song, popular songs are best, and someone else names the movie in which it appeared. It's possible that the same song has been used in more than one movie, so there could be more than one answer, including movies that the asker doesn't know about. If you're sure about your answer, don't wait, post your own song next.

The song: Lynyrd Skynyrd's Sweet Home Alabama

What movie?

Is it The Skeleton Key? I just listened to that song and it sounded something like voodo heheh.

Suspect's Reviews

Yay!



Richie's attempted suicide in The Royal Tenenbaums.





Paul Simon's "Hazy Shade of Winter"*
*either the original Simon & Garfunkle hit or a cover version

The Graduate


Elton John - Tiny Dancer

No. "Hazy Shade" is not one of the songs featured in The Graduate.


Everybody sings it together on the bus in Almost Famous.



So it's still....

Paul Simon's "Hazy Shade of Winter"*
*either the original Simon & Garfunkle hit or a cover version

"It's Alright Ma (I'm Only Bleeding)" by Bob Dylan

Was it sung by Bob Dylan in the movie? Cuz I know it was in Easy Rider, but Bob Dylan didn't sing it...I don't think...

Yeah, you're right. Roger McGuinn of The Byrds sang it in Easy Rider.

Sorry about that - Here's a new one:


"A Quick One, While He's Away" by The Who

Rushmore



"The Oogum Boogum Song" - Brenton Wood

Almost Famous?

I was afraid that other song would get this stuck. It, Aerosmith's Line Up, is played in Ace Venture, while he is chasing down all of the football players, to see who's ring is missing the stone he found. Try this one . . .

The Mike Curb Congregation - Burning Bridges

Kelly's Heroes?

Yesterday - The Beatles

Isn't this song in The Big Chill?

OK, I just put the movie in to check. It wasn't on my soundtrack, but I was positive I heard it in the movie. It is in the morning kitchen scene, after the night everyone got high on whatever. Oddly enough, it isn't in the credits either. Nevertheless, it is in this movie, so.....

Smokey Robinson & The Miracles - Tracks of My Tears
