    Hmm, it seems people are just naming songs from films now.

    I mean, to name but one, Absolute Beginners was literally the name of the film it was written for!

    Yeah, but St Elmos Fire and Eye of the Tiger? It's not surprising they remind people of the very film they were written for!

    I'm going for "You're the one that I want" by John Travolta and Olivia Newton John then. I cant hear that song without thinking of .......... Jaws!
