Most of the inaugural balls celebrating the start of Barack Obama’s presidency went off without a hitch, but you can always count on George Clinton and P-Funk to add some
After tackling Holiday flicks in my last column, I wanted to keep the ball rolling with the big screen theme. This week I’m taking a look at five of the top music scenes to appear on film. My criteria, because there’s a million ways to do a list like this, is that the song (on its own) and the movie (on its own) have to be enjoyable. I’m not talking about a good musical scene in a piece of crap movie or a piece of crap song in a great movie.
Basically these movies and songs all stand on there own but in these cases, morph together to make the other even more special.
1. Moving in Stereo – The Cars: Fast Times at Ridgemont High
The Cars + a topless Phoebe Cates + slow motion = winner. In one of the most memorable scenes in teenage sex-romp comedy history, the music, plot and gratuitous sex come together to form that perfect storm. It’s not too often you can pick the exact scene where an actor peaks but for Cates, this is clearly it. She went on to star in Gremlins and disasters like Drop Dead Fred, but after Fast Times it was all downhill. Cars bassist Benjamin Orr sings lead on the heavily produced track which ironically, is not on the film’s soundtrack.
