Do You Know How Christmas Trees Are Grown?

Slap bang in the middle of the album!!!

Here's another for you then

Sympathy for the Devil by Guns N' Roses.

Thankfully it's at the end of the Album (Interview with the Vampire)

NP - Never fall in Love (Burt Bacharach)

This must be it.

also:

the title songs you find on the FSM CDs of Rio Conchos and The Comancheros.

But what about those dreadful songs on the "Gremlin" oficial album??
My dear God!! To hear Peter Gabriel screaming 'OUT-OUT' for 6 minutes is too much for anyone, I think!

I also need to add the songs on the 2nd side of John Barry's score for THE DEEP.

terrible terrible terrible. all of them, even Barry's.

Worst? think sinking cgi ship. That stupid song you get bombed with on the muzak track everytime you go to the market to buy bread.

Okay, this is a crazy one, but it IS the worst movie song I've ever heard, it accompanies the finale of some weird Florida-shot slasher movie from the late eighties, entitled TRUTH OR DARE: A CRITICAL MADNESS. One of the absolute goriest films I've ever seen, although it's never really disturbing, because it feels like it was made by grade-schoolers, at best: it's never past the level of (to paraphrase Stephen King) "Hey, wanna look at my chewed-up food?"

So anyway, it ends with this PHENOMENAL ditty that goes on for something like FIVE MINUTES called "Critical Madness," belted out by what sounds like a slumming gospel artist, backed at times by a CHILDREN'S CHORUS -- all about how we never truly understood the main slasher character, what a lost soul he was, and if only people had loved him more, he'd never have gone out and killed all those people. I've never heard anything quite like it, and frankly, I'd buy a copy if it were available. (I do have a dupe of the video someplace.)

Two other greatly horrible slasher pictures: MY BROTHER HAS BAD DREAMS (stupid and overwritten, yet somehow I can't take my eyes off the thing); and THE NIGHT BRINGS CHARLIE (tedious, but the only picture I know of where the psycho is an unsettled TREE DOCTOR. Actually, there's two psychos, one of them turns out to be one of the cops: he explains away his psychosis so hilariously matter-of-factly, adding that he was a Vietnam veteran and "I guess I just got into the habit.")

Or maybe it WASN'T a mistake, and the great Louis actually DID sing that Christmas trees song...I am now terribly befuddled after Friday night beer-frenzy.

I shall try to recover my composure.

But generally, I dislike most songs on score albums. Exceptions are most of those on Born on the 4th of July and some original songs.

Can You Read My Mind is way better without the voice over. And When You're Alone is horrible. I mean, the music would be very beautiful, but it's done so incredibly cheesy!

Or what about that strange thing at the end of the Rambo score?

"It's A Long Road" (Goldsmith and Dan Hill)

"Peace In Our Life" (Goldsmith and Frank Stallone and, I think, someone else)

"The Hong Kong Cha-Cha" from DRAGON: THE BRUCE LEE STORY

Completely out of place in a film with such a fine score.

"...a man in love...can be come...a lethal weapon..."

The lengths they go to get the film title in the song. They even managed to get it in the film--

"I supposed we'll have to register you as a lethal weapon..."

Hmm lemme see....the disco version of Star Trek 3 was god aweful, "Can't Rain All The Time" in the Crow Score killed the mood for me. Although it is kind a cool source music, they could have stuck it at the end...

Can You Feel The Love Tonight has the most annoying intro ever on The Lion King (The Elton John performance) I'm really sick of "Power of Love" from Back To The Future..."One More Kiss Dear" on the BladeRunner score is kinda lame too.

"Gravity" is pretty nasty, too. What about those Clif Magnes songs or whatever on "The Last Starfighter" LP? Happily the Intrada release got rid of them.

...and mlw has a point with that Celine Dion song... that thing is ridiculous.

Regarding "Sympathy for the Devil" on "Interview With A Vampire..."
Notwithstanding how inappropriate it is to close this film with this song, I have to say that it's inclusion on the soundtrack album was obnoxious.
I like Guns N' Roses, and I love the Stones, and the original version of the songs is one of my all time favorites, but somewhere along the line something got screwed up and this track is terrible.

Graham, I think we all let you come to the gradual, horrible realization all by yourself, figuring that your self-inflicted penance would be much, much worse than any verbal flaming. We're cruel like that, you know.

I just wanted to mention that there should be a distinction between worst original song and worst inclusion... i.e. "Christmas Trees," "Sympathy" and "My Heart Will Sludge On" were all recorded for their respective films; "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," the "Born on the Fourth of July" songs and even "Ooby Dooby" are source music appearing on the soundtrack.

Steve, just for the record, Murtaugh's line makes sense. In some areas a person has to be registered as a lethal weapon if they are a black belt in a martial art. Their skill makes their hands and feet dangerous items.

I also enjoy the song, "The Moon's A Window To Heaven," from Star Trek V. It takes awhile to warm up to it, but it sure does grow on ya.
