Guilty Pleasure Soundtrack...AND Movie

Okay we all have a guilty pleasure movie that we just adore and totally bought the movie on DVD on the DL just to watch it over and over and later recite every piece of dialogue. RIGHT?? Yea, you know who you are!!

Well how about a guilty pleasure movie soundtrack?? Isn't there a movie soundtrack that you love and probably either bought at Virgin Records or downloaded on iTunes cuz you love the songs??

Mean Girls (2004)

Yall know what the movie is about. If not, its basically about this white girl from Africa who pretends to like a popular clique of "mean girls" just to later play a foul prank on them, but in turn starts to become just like them. And the movie stars my girl....Lindz. Or Hohan...whatever you wanna call her these days.

I mean there are some cool ass artists on this soundtrack such as; Blondie, Kelis, Pink, and The Donnas. Oh yea...and Lindz girlfriend is on the soundtrack too. That cool DJ hipster chick...who likes other chicks.

I gotta admit...my fav song is hers. Matter a fact...FUGGIT. I'm posting a Youtube clip of the song on this post. HaH!

Not sure if this was the actual music video....but its sumthin.

Best Musical Opening Credits

There has been a ton of films with crazy amazing opening sequences. However a personal favorite for us is the opening music for Psycho (1960). Just listen to the first 2 minutes. This musical number truly did set the tone for this movie. I mean damn I was already scared just listenin to this and the movie didn't even start yet! There aren't that many scary sounding songs or scores out there. This is a hard one to beat...

Of course the Halloween theme music was pretty creepy too.

Best Songs By Movie Association

So I was surfin the web, because I'm broke as hell this weekend and don't have any money to go out. But I noticed this blog called Popped Culture and on this blog there is a list of 15 Songs that are Owned By Movie Scenes. There are occasionally songs you hear on the radio, or in your iPod, and you immediately associate that song with the movie it played in--songs by movie association.

Itz a pretty accurate list. But there is one song missing that I was looking for specifically on that list...actually there are a few.

Here are the songs we at NYIndieSeen thought shoulda made the cut:

The Verve "Bitter Sweet Symphony" Cruel Intentions

Public Enemy "Fight The Power" Do The Right Thing

Deseree "Kissing You" Romeo + Juliet

Love Spit Love "How Soon Is Now" The Craft (I totally think about The Craft when I hear that song)

Isaac Hayes "Walk On By" Dead Presidents

Billy Idol "White Wedding" The Wedding Singer (sorry, but this movie always comes to mind when I hear this jam)

Aerosmith "Dude (Looks Like A Lady)" Mrs. Doubtfire

Well that's it for now...

Of course I still can't get that "How To Save A Life" song from The Fray out of my head...since I'm SUCH a hardcore Grey's Anatomy geek.

I know this is a movie blog...get it 2gether! Sorry... I can't resist! Any excuse to add a Grey's clip on the ol bloggie right? YEAH.
