who’s a black private dick does a sex
machine all the chicks shocked the right
song is everything damn right
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
movie theme songs I’m singing
for this list we’ve decided to stick
with pop songs that feature prominently
in iconic films and have chosen to leave
out instrumental themes I can’t hear you
buddy back me up Oh a bum Bowie number
10 Irene Cara Flashdance what a feeling
from Flashdance
while many may remember maniac when
thinking of Flashdance
it’s Irene Cara’s anthem it defines this
film with its 80s synth-pop sound and
triumphant message car took home a
Grammy a Golden Globe and an Oscar for
this movie thief
why not the song served as the Flitz
bookends playing as we’re introduced to
welder by day stripper by night Alex
Owen and subsequently in Alex’s iconic
final audition
number nine
mmm lose yourself from eight-mile read
one shot without taking the movie into
consideration this is one of the most
successful mainstream rap songs ever
it won Grammys and an Oscar and more
importantly it’s immediately
identifiable by an entire generation Oh
back to reality oh there goes gravity oh
there goes rabbit written by the film’s
main character rabbit lose yourself
moves through the quicksand motions and
struggles but most importantly this
rousing anthem gets us cheering for the
hero and caps off the entire movie
perfect
I have to take number eight survivor I
have the tiger from Rocky 3
going into its third installment the
rocky franchise already had one of the
great theme song
but a new decade needed a new theme and
Sly Stallone couldn’t get his hands on
Queens another one bites the dust
Hughes survivor to strut in and pick up
the pieces
not only did they hit the right note
with fans they also revolutionized
workouts for eternity
number seven Simon & Garfunkel
mrs. Robinson from the Graduate Simon
and Garfunkel contributed several songs
to Mike Nichols landmark 1968 film about
disaffected youth hello darkness my old
friend I’ve come to talk with you again
their track the sound of silence
punctuated the flick in all the right
places
but it’s the Grammy winning and
chart-topping mrs. Robinson it stands
out as the movies theme mrs. Robinson
Oh
the tune directly references the
characters bus maintains its obscure and
esoteric qualities plus the film’s
climax just wouldn’t be the same without
number six Adele Skyfall from Skyfall
this is the end hold your breath and
count to ten
you can’t talk theme songs and leave out
bond there are at least a dozen solid
hits in the group with Paul McCartney
Live and Let Die and double-oh-seven
theme icon Shirley Bassey turning in
epic melodies diamonds but for our money
Adele’s Skyfall is number one with a
bullet this way
a thousand miles of all the
this multi award-winning track shares
the film’s darkness and finality harkens
back to bass C’s classics and reminds us
that bond themes always hit their mark
number five Simple Minds don’t you
forget about me
from The Breakfast Club
well easy junker we didn’t forget about
you no one wanted to record this synth
pop classic in its early days but the
band’s label compelled them to do it
good thing it became their biggest hit
and arguably the reason people don’t
forget about simple minds
for more than that the song brings you
back to an innocent time in the 80s when
Saturday detentions could be
unforgettable Sincerely Yours The
Breakfast Club
number four the Bee Gees stayin alive
from Saturday Night Fever like survivor
did with eye of the tiger the Bee Gees
permeated pop culture with their
signature song
sure there are tons of disco classics on
this soundtrack even a few more by the
Bee Gees themselves but you can’t beat
this track about the struggles of
big-city living since Tony Manero first
strutted across our screens pedestrians
everywhere have been coming this to
match their assured stride
number three bill medley and Jennifer
Warnes I’ve had the time of my life from
dirty dancing all the theme songs to all
the 80s dance films this one stands
alone as king
you won the awards trifecta is one of
the most unforgettable duets ever and it
forms a pitch-perfect marriage with the
film by that we mean it’s every bit as
emotional sappy and let’s face it cheesy
as dirty dancing but don’t worry it’s
also the Swayze
number two silenzio my heart will go on
from Titanic
it’s one of the biggest songs from one
of the biggest movies ever that means
it’s also one of the most overplayed
tunes ever
ah
Oh
oh come on take off your grumpy old man
hat and try to bring yourself back to a
more innocent time nineteen ninety seven
to be exact when all that mattered was
the love between rose and Jack
ank-ooo I do it how about now
number one Whitney Houston I will always
love you from the bodyguard and
Whitney contributed many Smash Hits to
the best-selling soundtrack in history
but there can only be one this song
began its life in 1974 as a modest
country ballad by Dolly Parton
but when performed by Whitney Houston
for The Bodyguard I will always love you
struck a profound chord with audiences
and made sure the film’s soundtrack was
the first album ever to sell a million
units in one week

your all-time top ten
