Movie Moments That Inspired Songs


Strange Days "Right Here, Right Now"

These few lines from Angela Bassett in Kathryn Bigelow's 1995 sci-fi thriller would become the core lyrics of FatBoy Slim's 1999 dance classic!


Brassed Off "It's Music That Matters"

The opening lines of Pete Postlethwaite's emotional yet inspiring speech at the climax of this fine British drama was sample into Chumbawumba's beloved 1997 hit 'Tubthumpin''


The Wild Angels "We Wanna Get Loaded"

90's Dance floor's everywhere were filled whenever the opening lines to Primal Scream's song 'Loaded' appeared on the speakers, all thanks to this fine moment from this 1969 Peter Fonda starring vehicle.


Scarface "When You Get The Money, You Get The Power"

Already a firm favourite among rap artists, Al Pacino's now infamous line surprisingly made its way into Sigue, Sigue Spudnik's 1986 classic 'Love Missile F1-11'


Johnny Got His Gun "Various"

Dalton Trumbo's anti war piece was inspirational in inspiring Metallica's 'One' video, which is considered by many to be one of the finest video's ever produced. Various clips from the movie starring Timothy Bottoms were featured throughout.
