1. Peter Gabriel, "Solsbury Hill" (the Topher Grace movie this year, "Big Fish" last year)
2. Traffic, "Feelin' Alright" (seemingly every comedy of the 1990s)
Posted by Matt Bruce at January 8, 2005 07:23 PMWhile it's not the movies, there's an ad on TV that uses "I Feel Good" by James Brown, and the only think I can think of when it comes on the air is the Soccer Mummy preview on the Simpsons. So instead of looking into financial services or whatever, I keep wondering what Ed O'Neill is up to nowadays.
I would nominate "She Will Be Loved" by Maroon 5 in this category. I'd also give "Solsbury Hill" a pass given that it's a good song.

Needless to say, they didn't use the part of the verse that goes "Here we go / we're at the beginning / we haven't fucked yet / but my head's spinning."
