Top 10 Songs that Gained Popularity Through Their Use in Movies

The Top Ten

1 "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen (Wayne's World)

'Twas still popular before the movie, but I guess it did gain more popularity after the film released.

I think this song was very popular before the movie (1992) but it's a great song.

2 "The End" by The Doors (Apocalypse Now)

3 "Unchained Melody" by The Righteous Brothers (Ghost)

4 "Stuck In The Middle With You" by Stealers Wheel (Reservoir Dogs)

5 "Old Time Rock and Roll" by Bob Seger (Risky Business)

6 "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor (Rocky)

7 "Misirlou" by Dick Dale and His Del-Tones (Pulp Fiction)

8 "I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing" by Aerosmith (Armageddon)

9 "Tiny Dancer" by Elton John (Almost Famous)

10 "All Star" by Smash Mouth (Shrek)

Legend. Legendary song, legendary band, legendary character, legendary movie, legendary everything.

Shrek made Smash Mouth just like Oprah made you.
