Evening Reading

By Brian Leahy, Jun 09, 2010 5:00pm PDT I started Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker yesterday and it is awesome. I probably won't be able to finish up a review before E3, but if you're a fan of the series, you will definitely want to check it out.

Can you think of any musical tracks that have become permanently associated with a particular film or a scene therein? Perhaps even a track whose inherent popularity was surpassed by its presence in said movie?

Some examples off the top of my head: Stuck in the Middle from Reservoir Dogs or In Dreams from Blue Velvet.
