Top 10 Songs Which Would've Been More Appropriate In a Clockwork Orange Than Singing In the Rain
Tip your hat to Britgirl for this idea guys.We had a discussion about the "Singing In the Rain" scene from A Clockwork Orange. Being one of her favorite musicals, I asked her what she thought of the film and scene. She replied that she hated how such an innocent song was used for such a disgusting scene. And guess what?
I know it's my favorite movie and all, but I slightly agree.
It does example that this is nothing special and the Droogs do this any other average night, but couldn't Malcom McDowell use a more fitting tune? I know it was the first thing to pop in his head, but still.
Why Singing in the Rain?
The Top Ten
1 Symphony No. 5 - Beethoven
Bum bum bum bum. Yeah, Alex could've hummed this tune to show his love for Beethoven more maybe.
2 Ode to Joy: Symphony No. 9 - Beethoven
I think the innocence of "Singing in the Rain" was what made that scene truly horrifying.
Fun fact: Cary Grant also whistles Singing in the Rain in North by Northwest.
3 Eleanor Rigby - The Beatles
Both rather dark.
4 A Quick One, While He's Away - The Who
Personally, this pops into my head all the time. It is a catchy and rather fun tune, so why wouldn't he use it?
5 The Lemon Song - Led Zeppelin
Both rather perverted.
6 Heartbreak Hotel - Elvis Presley
7 Ring of Fire - Johnny Cash
8 My Generation - The Who
Definitely more appropriate! Haha wow MontyPython, I was kidding! Bravo on your choice of songs!
9 Maxwell's Silver Hammer - The Beatles
10 Hound Dog - Elvis Presley
The Contenders
11 Closer - Nine Inch Nails
12 Animal I Have Become - Three Days Grace
13 Cherish - The Association
14 Rape Me - Nirvana
