We took last week off to focus on election drama. Now that that’s behind us, let’s move on to the question Kris earned in our last fight: Which song feels like it's overplayed in movies? i.e. It might be a great song, but Hollywood is making it dull with overuse.
Maybe it was a good song in the day but hear it all the time and now it's just bleh. The only time I think it was used effectively in a movie was in the remake to Gone in 60 Seconds, and it worked because the scene beautifully depicted the older car thieves personalities juxtaposed against the younger ones.
Haven't got an answer yet but your picture is funny, because when I finally saw Easy Rider several years ago I fast forwarded through the riding scene playing that song.
I’m going with Sympathy for the Devil. It’s so overused in movies (and shows) that it’s often misused. Like it’s not even thematically appropriate at times. I think it’s because the song has such a great groove and people think of it as “edgy.”
"Ain't No Mountain High Enough" by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell. Not only is it overused, it's grossly misapplied. The quintessential song to convey determination and grit is overlayed in scenes with an irresponsible laziness that rivals government employees.
I'm gonna go first on this one. Low Rider by War.
