    "A planned single ... withdrawn just prior to its scheduled release ... included in the 2006 box set The Complete Motown Singles, Vol. 6: 1966, released in a limited edition of 6000 by Universal archival label Hip-O Select, marking the first time any of the 1966 Motown recordings by the Mynah Birds had seen the light of day."

  20. Songfactor's Choice Top 10 Special: Movie Soundtrack Songs

    in The Songfactor's Choice Top 10

    Posted

    1. Save Me — Aimee Mann ([smaller]Magnolia[/smaller]) This is not a favorite song of mine outside of the brilliant way it was used in the movie*.

    2. Super Fly — Curtis Mayfield ([smaller]Super Fly[/smaller]) Freddie's Dead is another winner!

    3. Foggy Mountain Breakdown — Flatt & Scruggs & the Foggy Mountain Boys ([smaller]Bonnie & Clyde[/smaller])

    4. Knockin' On Heaven's Door — Bob Dylan ([smaller]Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid[/smaller] )

    5. Stuck In the Middle With You — Stealers Wheel ([smaller]Reservoir Dogs[/smaller]) Some folks just can't listen to this one without 'flashbacks' of the scene where it is used.

    6. Imperial March — John Williams ([smaller]The Empire Strikes Back[/smaller]) More a part of the score than a soundtrack 'song', but certainly a hella effective piece.

    7. Born To Be Wild — Steppenwolf ([smaller]Easy Rider[/smaller]) To beat the dead horse: I'm not a 'true biker' (nor a martial arts authority), but while Born To Be Wild doesn't necessarily cause me to think of Easy Rider, the vice versa does apply.

    8. You Can't Always Get What You Want — The Rolling Stones ([smaller]The Big Chill[/smaller] ) Wish I had time to view a lot of these films over again, but wasn't it the introduction of this song by the characters that made it significant ?

    9. The Windmills of Your Mind — Noel Harrison ([smaller]Thomas Crown Affair[/smaller])

    10. On the Dark Side — John Cafferty & the Beaver Brown Band ([smaller]Eddie and The Cruisers[/smaller])

    And honorable mentions: Eye of the Tiger, Come Saturday Morning, The Girl Can't Help It, The Harder They Come, Theme from Shaft .

    * [smaller] from wikipedia: [/smaller]

    "Mann gained greater public recognition in 1999 ... when she contributed eight songs to the soundtrack of (Paul Thomas) Anderson's Magnolia, including the Academy Award and Grammy-nominated song, Save Me. Anderson deliberately worked from Mann's lyrics to create the film's characters and situations."

    I don't know if you are interested in hypothetical places, but Donovan can direct you to this neighborhood.

    [smaller]The continent of Atlantis was an island

    which lay before the great flood

    in the area we now call the Atlantic Ocean.

    So great an area of land, that from her western shores

    those beautiful sailors journeyed

    to the South and the North Americas with ease,

    in their ships with painted sails.

    To the East Africa was a neighbour, across a short strait of sea miles.

    The great Egyptian age is but a remnant of The Atlantian culture.

    The antediluvian kings colonised the world

    All the Gods who play in the mythological dramas

    In all legends from all lands were from fair Atlantis.

    Knowing her fate, Atlantis sent out ships to all corners of the Earth.

    On board were the Twelve:

    The poet, the physician, the farmer, the scientist,

    The magician and the other so-called Gods of our legends.

    Though Gods they were -

    And as the elders of our time choose to remain blind

    Let us rejoice and let us sing and dance and ring in the new.[/smaller]

    Hail Atlantis !
