    Gabriel’s Oboe from The Mission.

    The movie was incredible but I feel like that tune has really stood the test of time.

    Id say Lose Yourself by Eminem. Maybe because I was too young to watch the movie when it came out, but that song was everywhere, and is still popular today

    Would? by Alice in Chains was from the Singles soundtrack. The song was great, it was included as the last song on the album Dirt that came out shortly after the movie.

    I’m surprised no one said Dolly Parton’s 9-to-5.

    Flashdance had two songs (“what a feeling” and “maniac”) that everyone knows even if they haven’t seen the movie.

    St. Elmos Fire. It’s a one hit wonder, but the movie it was written for was typical 1980s “friends with issues” pablum. The kind that was better written and acted in a dozen other movies.

    “Raindrops keep falling on my head” - Hal David & Burt Bacharach (Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid)

    “Young Guns” - Bon Jovi (Young Guns 2)

    “Wind beneath my Wings” - Bette Midler (Beaches)

    “Cry Little Sister” - Gerard McMahon (Lost Boys)

    Just a few I can think of off the top of my head.

    Romeo and Juliet https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=WCmUWNUzaqo

    The song has become a standard, for good reason. There’s my favorite cover:

    I Am The Walrus was much more popular than The Magical Mystery Tour but that can be said for all of that movie’s songs really
