Featured in What Popular Songs?


Upon seeing this for the first time a few days ago, I recognized three lines of dialogue in the film that I recognize from being in songs in the form of audio clips. I'm fairly certain that they were all either White Zombie/ Rob Zombie songs, but I just can't find which ones they are. If you have any insight please let me know, this is driving me nuts. The lines used are (and forgive and misquotes):

"The vision comes and goes; but tonight, I saw it very clearly."

And the exchange thus:

"What's the matter?"
"Oh nothing, it's just a readjustment."
"Your eyes!"

And finally, from the last scene:

"...And at the center of it all - the eye."

I'm having similar frustrations involving one of the last scenes in Rosemary's Baby where a man screams, "GOD IS DEAD!" I KNOW that this is in SOME song, SOMEwhere, but I haven't the slightest musings as to where I've heard it or who that artist might be.

Yes, both the line "The vision comes and goes; but tonight, I saw it very clearly." and the exchange of "What's the matter?" "Oh nothing, it's just a readjustment." "Your eyes!" are both featured on Rob Zombie's track (i wouldnt even really call it a song) Transylvania Transmissions Pt. 1, which is on his Sinister Urge CD, now the "...And at the center of it all - the eye." line, that i'm not sure about, it's very possible that it could be on a different Rob/White Zombie tune, because when Rob finds a movie he wants to take a sample from, he usually doesnt take just one, samples from Dawn of the Dead for example appear not only in differnt songs but on completely different albums, although you might be thinking of a line from that same track (Transylvania Transmissions Pt. 1) because there's an additional line in there from a movie i'm yet to identify that goes something like "and at the center of it all the mark of a human hand" so you might just be thinking of that line

Now the Rosemary's Baby line, while i dont specifically remember the line "God is Dead" in the sample, i know Rob Zombie's song "Hands of Death," which i believe was originally from an X-Files soundtrack, features a pretty long sample from Rosemary's Baby, you can clearly make-out the repeated "Hail Satan!" from that movie, so you're probably thinking of that song, hope this has helped ya out

Blue Oyster Cult has a song about it called "X-Ray Eyes"

hahaha, sweet song

There's another song . . . an instrumental . . . which features sampling from several movies but, mainly from this one. It ends with (I think) Yosemite Sam yelling "Oh Yeah? Well the show's over!"

Anyone help with this one?


"I'm not reckless . . . I'm skillful!"

"And at the center of it all - the eye"

I could be wrong, but i think this is quoted on "Welcome To My Nightmare" from Alice Cooper.

To die,to be really dead that must be glorious.(Bela Lugosi)

It’s definitely not from the song “Welcome to my Nightmare,” unless you mean a different song on the album?

reply

Kiss has a song called X-Ray Eyes, sung by Gene Simmons of course.

reply

Try "The man with the X-Ray eyes" by Bauhaus.

Regarding your Rosemary's Baby sample (if you haven't found it by now!), it was used in the following:

Diabolis Rising - Satanic Propaganda
Electric Hellfire Club - Invocation/Age Of Fire
Electric Hellfire Club - Heresy
Meat Sh*ts - There Is No God
Melek-Tha - Pseudomonarchia Daemonium
Rob Zombie & Alice Cooper - Hands Of Death
Wumpscut - Embryodead
Zyklon-B - Warfare


Hope it's one of those that you're looking for!
