Music From Movies
Zac Efron and Vanessa Hudgens — "Breaking Free"
Fans of High School Musical will definitely relate (and might even remember how they wanted to transport themselves into the movie to step into the shoes of Troy or Gabriella). "Breaking Free" is a true anthem of this movie.
Marvin Gaye — "Ain't Your Mountain High Enough"
Do you recall that adorable scene in "Stepmom" where the kids, decked out in pajamas, belt out songs using combs, hair curlers, and even a phone as their microphones? And all that with their mom, played by the amazing Susan Sarandon! We bet anyone who has seen the movie has tried recreating that scene at home at least once.
Bradley Cooper and Lady Gaga — "Shallow"
No matter whether you like A Star Is Born or not, the fact remains: the song "Shallow" has transcended the movie and now resonates in the headphones of millions of people.
Audrey Hepburn — "Moon River"
When you hear this song, you can vividly imagine Audrey sitting on the windowsill, playing the guitar and singing. Henry Mancini crafted it specifically for Hepburn’s voice, capturing a sense of wistful longing and wanderlust.
Chuck Berry — "Never Can Tell"
The song gained renewed popularity when it was featured in Quentin Tarantino's 1994 film, "Pulp Fiction." In the movie, it’s used during one of the most iconic scenes — the twist contest at Jack Rabbit Slim’s. Vincent Vega (John Travolta) and Mia Wallace (Uma Thurman) dance to this track in a competition, which becomes a defining moment in the film.
Prepare Your Headphones For the Music From Cartoons
Elton John — "The Circle of Life"
Elton John and Tim Rice’s “The Circle of Life” is the opening track for Disney’s The Lion King, setting the stage for a majestic journey through the African savanna. This song is all about life’s cycles and has a sound that just sweeps you off your feet.
Jeff Pescetto — "Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers Theme”
Remember the Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers theme song? Jeff Pescetto’s catchy tune is basically a blast of nostalgia. It gets you pumped for Chip and Dale’s adventures, solving mysteries with their cool rescue squad.
Idina Menzel — "Let It Go"
Idina Menzel’s “Let It Go” is that epic song from Frozen that you probably couldn’t escape. It is all about Elsa letting go of her fears and embracing her powers. The best way to listen to it: turn up your headphones or speakers to the maximum volume and sing along with Elsa.
Pharrell Williams — "Happy"
Pharrell Williams’ “Happy” is basically a party in a song. It is the perfect match for Despicable Me 2’s playful vibe. If you are in a bad mood, just put this on and watch it turn your day around!
Kristen Anderson-Lopez & Robert Lopez — "Remember Me"
“Remember Me” from Coco is a heart-tugging song that celebrates family and memory. With its touching melody and lyrics, it really hits you right in the feels, especially when you think about loved ones. So, put on your headphones and get ready to cry!
