´óÏó´«Ã½

I am assuming themes and not title songs etc:

Bruce Springsteen - Once Upon A Time In The West

Ìý
Fillums! The Cap'n can make more requests from This is Spinal Tap that won't get played!


#1

Norrie,

I need claification. Is it any song from a movie soundtrack or the opening theme?


Get the Git telt!

But if not :

Tom Waits / Crystal Gayle - One From The Heart Opening Momtage

Says movie themes SG so I'm assuming Morricone, Barry et al

#4 If Morricone's on the menu, I baggsies
Man with Harmonica from Once Upon A Time In The West

Worth another pop.
The film might be a Spaghetti Western but it pulls some seriously strong emotional punches. The scenes that accompany the full playing of this song are enough to bring a tear to a ....oh, I think that one's been used already here.
Nonetheless, a stoater.
I like. ;o)

#4

Fair enough!


TUESDAY

America - ~ from The Jazz Singer

theme from 'Velvet Goldmine' .... set in the days of Glam
'Needle in the Camel's Eye' ~~~ Brian Eno


theme from 'Mutiny on the Bounty' ~~~ Vangelis


theme from '8 Mile' ....
'Lose Yourself' (radio friendly version) ~~~ Eminem

Ìý
Izzat Mary-Doll back? Wherr huv ye been, hen?

Ah'm no' sure aboot these themes. Whit dae ye think?

Aye, it's me Scotch - older, uglier and none the wiser. Not that any of those necessarily go hand-in-hand, just with me.
I hate to say it (me, contrary??), but those themes, along with the majority of the past few weeks, have already been done. I know -it's not a new observation here. I may not request the most original stuff, but even I have my limits. Happy to hear anything (good) new repeat themes might throw up. Just not about resubmitting requests for repeat themes. Perhaps I could think of new requests for them, but - nah. Interesting times. ;o)

Oor Davie has still got it, title track from the movie, love it

This Must Be The Place / David Byrne




Welcome back m-d

Do closing-credits songs count? Here's one (again)...

'28' - Lorene Scafaria

#13 - Well you would not have thought so, but these should:

Mark Knopfler - Once Upon a Time...Storybook Love

Mark Knopfler - Going Home (Theme of Local Hero)

Mark Knopfler - The Long Road (Theme of Cal)

As paolo and I have often requested etc

Mark Knopfler -

Have we no' done this theme before?



Tide's in Tuesday evening and F3 Easterlies wi sunshine so I might tune in fae the high seas

#14 Yup Norrie big seconds for The Long Road / Mark Knopfler

His finest recording!

Cap/n if you're about this track would make a great soundtrack for your home videos / slide shows

"Today's teenagers seem to have much more fun. They get Nirvana and we got Greensleeves."

We left school able to read and write.

Chances / Five for Fighting
The Blind Side

Right, don't have a fit you lot... but I'm going to suggest some Sting for tonights show... sometimes you just need to stand up in front of your peer-group, take a deep breath and admit (if only to yourself).... my name is Mike, and I own a couple of Sting albums...

"Shape of my Heart" plays over the closing credits of the film "Leon".

Perhaps not the best movie theme of all times, yet a very beautiful song is Michael KAMEN's 'Take me with you' sung by Liz Fraser.
Film: 'The winter guest' by Alan RICKMAN starring Phyllida LAW and Emma THOMPSON.
Film location: Fife.

Friendly greetings to all.
Chris.

Theme from "The Italian Job"

Matt Monro - "On Days Like These"

#30 Premature prognostication?

Julie your request is back on!

"tonight’s theme is all about your favourite title tracks from movie"

Bruce Springsteen - Streets of Philadelphia

Bruce Springsteen - The Wrestler

David Bowie - Cat People (Putting Out Fire) proper movie soundtrack version not that dross re-records from Lets Dance which is rubbish.

#34
What happened??
I'll stick to the original:

Pinched from the Vision On Gallery -

"Cavatina" - John Williams (Theme from Gaie's second favourite film)

However,

I trust we'll be opening with the theme from Groundhog Day...

Why are we celebrating Barbra Streisand's birthday anyway?

People Are Strange / Echo & The Bunnymen (The Lost Boys)

Al.

#35

That's 8 Norman....double tops.

No it isnae. It is only four. The theme was changed, I have struck my four "movie themes" and replaced them with four "favourite title tracks".

#40
Not sure, two wrongs and all that...
We may need to call in the arbitrators.

When and how was the theme changed anyway??

Number 4 from masel'

from 'The Secret Life Of Bees'...

'Doncha Know (Sky Is Blue)' - Alicia Keys
'Song For Mia' - Lizz Wright
'Keep Marching' - Raphael Saadiq

#34 & #45

"title tracks from movies"

Will this be defined as the track which shares its name with the movie or the track that plays over the opening credits?

D'ya like ?

In the spirit of moving goalposts:

Jimmy Cliff - "The Harder They Come"

Racing Cars - "They Shoot Horses, Don't They", inspired by the film of the same name

Kodachrome - Paul Simon - From the film of the same name

#46. Och I know... Ma heid's mince today.

Hello again Bryan, Blogotariat, etc...
How about 'Cuts you up' by Peter Murphy. This song is the theme of 'Box of moonlight'
1996 _ Director: Tom De Cillo
Starring Katherine KEENER, John TORTURRO, Sam ROCKWELL....

Friendly greetings as usual.
Chris.

#49 That is funny. Can hi jump on your bandwagon as it hurtles towards the Big Screen, probably showing a repaet, and also suggest:

Shawn Colvin - Polaroids

Presumably Duran Duran will be in with a shout too?

Rio, Girls on Film or View to a Kill?

#52

Sorry to hear about the Polaroids - have you tried ointment?

BTW whur's the B.C.C?

No shout for the "Theme From" Doctor Detroit ~ DEVO then?

Think a space theme is way overdue... I'm going to invest in Planetary Resources suckers!

#60

Ya mean to say

Ooooh...since the space theme went away,
There's nothing goin' right!
I just can't sleep alone at night...
I'm not ashamed to say I badly need that theme...or it's the end.

Now, when I look at the clouds across the moon.
Here in the night I just hope and pray that soon.
Oh baby, a space theme'll hurry home to me.

Like it, Capt. but no actually.

I believe asteroids are crammed full of gems and precious metals!

Lucky you. Glen gets treatment for his asteroids
