77 Most Unforgettable Movie Songs (17-12)
17.
Survivor, 'Eye of the Tiger' ('Rocky III' 1982)Rocky had to regain his killer instinct in order to go mano-a-mohawk with Mr. T, and Survivor helped out the champ with some adrenaline-pumping montage music. Two-and-a-half decades later, it still makes us want to punch the piss out of side of beef. -- JP
Listen to 'Eye of the Tiger'
16.
Whitney Houston, 'I Will Always Love You' ('The Body Guard' 1992)The romantic pairing of Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner was enough to earn $120 million at the box office and make a Whit's version of Dolly Parton's 1974 heart-melter one of the most overplayed hits in history. It's also Bobby Brown's least favorite song of all time. -- JP
Watch 'I Will Always Love You'
15.
The Beatles, 'Twist & Shout' ('Ferris Bueller's Day Off' 1986)On his ninth sick day of the school year, Ferris Bueller takes over a float during Chicago's Von Steuben Day parade (even though the real event actually takes place in September). His spontaneous lip-synch of 'Twist & Shout' inspires an entire city to cut a rug. We especially love when "Team Thriller" turns it out! -- JP
14.
Simple Minds, 'Don't You Forget About Me' ('The Breakfast Club' 1985)It didn't matter if you were a brain, a princess, an athlete, a basketcase or a criminal -- in '85, this song spoke to you ... just like Ally Sheedy's dandruff-accented desk art. (But why'd she have to get all "sorority girl" to score with Emilio Estevez? Lame move, Hughes.) -- MTC
13.
Jamiroquai, 'Canned Heat' ('Napoleon Dynamite' 2004)Napoleon proved what Jay Kay and John Travolta have known all along -- chicks dig dudes with moves (no matter how dorky). Dynamite's sweetest scene made Jamiroquai's funky soul jam the 'I Will Survive' of the pocket-protector generation. -- MTC
12.
Simon & Garfunkel, 'Mrs. Robinson' ('The Graduate' 1967)The folk-rocking duo's second No. 1 single originally appeared in the Dustin Hoffman flick about a disaffected teen that gets his freak on with a sexy older woman (and, later on, her daughter). Who knew a song about MILFs could be so charming? -- JP
