Post by: brekclub85 on September 21, 2009, 08:26:18 PM

By the title question, I mean what are your favorite songs that were created originally for movies/tv shows, not existing before the show/movie aired?

Mine include:

So far my favorite song created for a movie is "New Divide" by Linkin Park from Transformers Revenge of the Fallen. The song is so epic I can't stop listening to it.

Although I have not seen "Twilight" (I have not even read the books), I really like Paramore's "Decode".  In fact, Paramore is now on my list of favorite bands.  I love their new song "Ignorance" :D.

"Jai Ho" for Slumdog Millionaire. I'd put "Save Me" by Remy Zero, but unfortunately it existed before Smallville; the show just made it popular.

Well, that's kind of assumed by default. :lol

One song that I have enjoyed just because its a fun buddy song is "If I Didn't Have You" from Monsters Inc.
