***Baker's Dozen*** Songs You Love That You First Heard In a Film - CLOSED


There has been many times while watching a film where I get introduced to a song I had not previously heard before.
Some of those tunes I loved so much that they simply had to be added to my collection.
Please list the artist, song title and the film in which you first heard it.
And if possible, include a music video of the song.

Since I ended the last thread with Bruce Springsteen singing Santa Claus Is Comin' To Town, I might as well start this list with another of his works ...

Thank you LauraGrace. I'm glad that you liked it.
So I see that hownos ended the baker's dozen. Cool.
That being said, I think that I'll include one more for good luck.
So here's Hugh Harris doing Rhythm of Life, the song which closes Uncle Buck.
In retrospect, that shot of John Candy waving goodbye sure seems that he's waving farewell to all of us.
