Where Songs and Films Collide

What this episode covers

In the world of films, songs are often a little off kilter, histrionic, camp or just plain wrong. Yes, we all know Berlin’s “Take My Breath Away”, “Eye Of The Tiger” by Survivor and Blondie’s “Call Me” (Top Gun, Rocky III and American Gigolo respectively) but great as they are they differ not one jot from our normal pop chart diet. Dive in as we play you an hour of original movie soundtrack cuts that, if one stops to listen to carefully enough, do not quite fit in to the popular song cannon: they are simply of the films they inhabit.
