77 Most Unforgettable Movie Songs (39-34)
39.
Marilyn Monroe, 'Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend' ('Gentlemen Prefer Blondes,' 1953)Nicole Kidman paid homage in 'Moulin Rouge,' and Madonna bit the style in her 'Material Girl' video, but Marilyn's quintessential silver-screen moment shows that no one could work a room of eligible bachelors like she could. -- MTC
38.
Kenny Loggins, 'Footloose' ('Footloose,' 1984)When Kevin Bacon finally brought the senior prom to the little town of Beaumont, he also unleashed this '80s classic -- a song so magical that kids who had never been allowed to dance could suddenly moonwalk and do backflips. -- JP

37.
Isaac Hayes, 'Shaft' ('Shaft,' 1971)How grand life would be if we all had our own theme song. Then again, few can attest to being a "sex machine to all the chicks." Therefore, Isaac Hayes' basket of funk should only signal the arrival of one man -- Shaft. (Ya damn right!) -- DB
36.
Chuck Berry, 'Johnny B. Goode' ('Back to the Future,' 1985)More than the makeshift skateboard, his souped-up De Lorean, or even his Calvin Kleins, it was Marty McFly's way with an axe that won over audiences. He can play our prom any day. -- MTC
35.
Dolly Parton, '9 to 5' ('9 to 5,' 1980)Nineteen years before 'Office Space,' '9 to 5' pitted corporate drones against the daily grind of thankless work and soulless bosses. The film also gave the world Dolly's Oscar-nominated, chart-topping theme song -- a peppy love letter to the world's working stiffs. -- JP
34.
Huey Lewis & the News, 'Hip to Be Square' ('American Psycho,' 2000)
Huey was pissed when his band's "undisputed masterpiece" became murder music in the film adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis' best-seller, but we hear psychopaths bought the band's albums in droves after seeing this scene -- and their money is as good as everyone else's. Right, Hue? -- MTC
