Favorite/dumbfounding music scenes in movies/TV series.


 A few days ago I recorded/watched this movie (well most of it anyway) mainly due to Summer reruns on our cable-TV provider.

After being welmed/overwelmed by "the scene" I Googled it to discover that the actor played/sang the song in the movie hisself.

I never payed much attention to Hall & Oats when they were on the air decades ago but when I listened to a band (Fritz and the...) doing a version  of "Sara Smile" on "Daryl’s Place" I started revisiting their song library - posting about it here - I think.

Anyway, this is a Killer version of an otherwise good song, IMO.

One of my other favorites is the "Do it My Way" scene from "Sid and Nancy" that I used to play when I got home from work in the 80’s in order to relax.

I was watching "Wanted: Dead or Alive" recently and noticed McQueen's lisp (weird) and horse riding skills along with elaborate orchestral background (or foreground) music provided by the studio players, likely at whatever minimum scale was. Pretty amazing stuff. These days it's likely somebody with pro tools and a synth.
