Overused Soundtrack Choices
Some songs just shouldn't be played on a movie soundtrack again.
When “Under Pressure” starts up on the soundtrack of “World’s Greatest Dad,” it’s as both a fitting soundtrack choice and as a joke — the song, a callback from an earlier scene, is so overused as a music cue that no matter how thematically appropriate it is, it’s going to come with loads of baggage. Which provided the inspiration for this week’s IFC News podcast, a look at some of the most soundtrack-abused song choices in the film world, from “Carmina Burana” to “Bad to the Bone.”
