it’s time for everyone to sing-along one
more time welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’re counting down our picks for
the top ten modern movie theme songs
for this list we’re ranking the most
memorable theme songs taken from the
soundtracks of modern cinema from the
year 2000 onwards
hi
if you don’t see your favorite song on
the list don’t panic just check out our
other videos like the top 10 movie theme
songs or the top 10 movie ending songs
number ten it’s hard out here for a pimp
by three 6 mafia hustle and flow I like
that the words Academy Award winners
three 6 mafia don’t exactly roll easily
off the tongue
but these Memphis Tennessee natives
became the first hip-hop group to win
the Oscar for Best Original Song in 2006
the proud southern musicians were also
the first hip-hop group to perform at
the ceremony and it wasn’t long until
it’s hard out here for a pimp arguably
became more famous than the film for
which it was the theme 2005’s hustle and
flow I mean trying to squeeze a dollar
out of a dime
and I even got a set night takes time DJ
with a smooth soulful funk hook man
three 6 mafia’s confident delivery this
modern movie theme performed in the film
itself by Terrence Howard and taraji P
Henson as their characters DJ and Suge
hasn’t aged a day that’s the way the
game goes gotta keep it strictly clip
and gotta have all of the title
I told his boy when you
number nine everything is awesome by
Tegan and Sara featuring the Lonely
Island the lego movie oh my gosh I love
this song
the notion of fun instantly comes to
mind when listening to this upbeat
little ditty indeed ooh Oh Tegan and
Sara received a little help from The
Lonely Island on this relentlessly
catchy theme from 2014’s
equally feel-good animated hits the lego
movie
a boisterous slice of electronic pop
this tune boasts an instantly memorable
chorus as well as the Lonely Island boys
humorous listings of all the things they
find to be awesome
the track also plays a big part in the
film itself making the triumphant ending
credits sequence all the more fun when
they start to roll
number eight America yeah by Craig
Parker
Team America world police whereas the
Lonely Island rattles off all the things
they find to be awesome South Park
creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone have
something a little different in mind
freedom is the only
Team America world police was a
brilliant satire of both gung-ho action
cinema
as well as the 60s electronic marionette
puppet series Thunderbirds meanwhile
this profanity-laden musical call to
arms sends up every 80s action montage
imaginable in just over two minutes very
cool
add to that Parker’s teeth clenching
square-jawed tough guy delivery and you
have one awesomely funny movie theme
number seven let it go by idina menzel
frozen snow glows white on the mountain
tonight not a footprint to be seen a
kingdom of isolation and it looks like
I’m the queen the word earworm can be
loosely defined as an insanely catchy
piece of music which refuses to leave
your head perhaps the best example is
Idina Menzel’s rendition of let it go
from frozen
just ask any parent of small children
and he or she will tell you that he or
she has been subjected to this one at
least 15 to 20 times a day since it was
released
to be honest though there are war songs
to get stuck in one’s head as Menzel’s
powerful delivery and the melodic music
of songwriters Robert Lopez and Kristen
anderson-lopez make let it go a Disney
song for the ages
Cole never bothered me anyway
number six see you again bye Wiz Kalifa
featuring Charlie puth Furious 7 it’s
been a long day without you my friend
and I’ll tell you all about it when I
see you
filmgoers and fans of The Fast and
Furious film franchise alike mourned the
tragic loss of actor Paul Walker in 2013
hey that’s you could leave without
saying goodbye but it should be said
that Wiz Khalifa’s Furious 7 theme see
you again helped heal the void felt by
Walker’s absence had to switch up look
at things different see the bigger
picture those were the days hard work
forever pays now I see you in a better
place the song is anchored by Charlie
puth beautiful piano playing and
heartfelt vocal melody serving as a fine
way of remembering not only the impact
Walker left on the Fast and Furious
franchise but also how the young actor
resonated with moviegoers around the
world yeah we came a long way
I’ll see you again number five
independent women part one by Destiny’s
Child Charlie’s Angels Charlie’s Angels
come question tell me what you think
about me sure the Charlie’s Angels
movies may have been so so but this
soundtrack theme continues to earn fans
and airplay long after the film
adaptation of the 70s TV show found its
home in the discount bin independent
women is a catchy and soulful ode to
female empowerment inspired by the
series own story of tough no-nonsense
female crime fighters working for their
mysterious employer known only as
Charlie
Beyonce would revisit these lyrical
themes later on in her solo career but
it was here on this R&B and dance-pop
number where Destiny’s Child really
first staked their claim good morning
angels
good morning charlie number four happy
by Pharrell Williams Despicable Me 2
unapologetically upbeat and sunny
sounding this hit from Neptune’s
producer and any Rd member Pharrell
Williams won over countless fans with
its strong and inspiring message of
positivity happy was a breakout hit
after first being featured on the
soundtrack to Despicable Me 2 appearing
on daytime television music videos and
radio airwaves the world over the song
has a bright almost 70s AM radio vibe
while the smooth sole delivery of
Williams is reminiscent at times of
classic Stevie Wonder or Curtis Mayfield
making happy and ultimate toe tapper and
hand clapper bring me down
number three Skyfall by Adele Skyfall
hold your breath and count
2:10 it’s a tall order to write and
record a new James Bond theme that could
compete with any of the series classics
over the years Adele hit it out of the
park however with her awesomely epic
Skyfall disguise
we will
the English singers power and presence
seem tailor-made to sing a song with the
required bombast and routing intensity
required of Skyfall and she certainly
does not disappoint
fans of the franchise seemed to agree as
its parent film quickly became not only
one of the most critically and
commercially successful Bond films but
also its theme was certified as a
stone-cold classic by series aficionados
around the world
number two glory by common and John
Legend Selma
when the war is won we will be sure this
collaboration between John Legend and
common is a moving and inspirational
song from the equally important 2014
film Selma based on the Selma to
Montgomery Alabama marches for
african-american voting rights those
that have gone before us say no more
legends soulful croon resonates through
the strong melodic chorus while Cummins
rapping is slow and measured as he
thoughtfully articulates every word with
a forthright sense of passion and
purpose the movement is the rhythm to us
freedom is like religion to us
justice is juxtaposition enough justice
for all just a specific enough glory
succinctly yet successfully gets across
the message of Selma within the medium
of song a clarion call which addresses
of people struggle with a deep feeling
of respect
before we unveil our number one pick
here are some honorable mentions
so she said what’s the problem baby
what’s the problem model no well maybe
I’m in love think about it every time I
think about it my dear I’ll be there
soon Oh
well number one lose yourself by Eminem
eight-mile
yeah work up some songs from our demo
although three 6 mafia was the first
hip-hop group to receive an Academy
Award it’s hard out here for a pimp
wasn’t the first hip-hop song to win an
Oscar palms are sweaty knees weak arms
are heavy there’s vomit on his sweater
already mom’s spaghetti that honor went
to Eminem’s lose yourself the breakout
single from 8 mile the song and film
served as autobiographical takes on
Eminem’s own career and troubled home
life with lose yourself going over in a
big way thanks to a driving percussive
beat melodic piano flourishes and
Eminem’s own passionate lyrics music the
moment you own
the song that hits close to home on many
levels and continues to be a defining
track in Eminem’s discography do you
