The song that got me into the Stones after hearing it on "Tour of Duty" in the early 90s. I'd thought they were just grizzled old bores until then.

If it’s an actual 60s comedy movie, there’s at least a 40% chance there will be someone in a gorilla suit somewhere in it.

Re: It's a 1960s movie
Looking at what people have offered up, what's notably missing is the Beatles. I don't disagree, but is this simply a case of it costing too much to license Beatles songs (Mad Men paid $250K to use "Tomorrow Never Knows"—to superb effect—in one episode) or is it a case that the Beatles just didn't produce music that has achieved that kind of iconic status with the generic hippie/Vietnam imagery? The easier answer is the former, but I think there might be something to the latter.

Re: It's a 1960s movie
Could it be a little of both? For instance if Beatles songs cost too much movie makers were forced to go with different songs which in some cases gave better visibility to some songs/artists. And perhaps this created an idea of what a 60s soindtrack should sound like. Just a theory. I'll go on record as saying I'm not a big Beatles fan, I dont dislike them just don't get moved by them all that much (with a few exceptions). I think the Beatles became somewhat institutional and can lack some of the edge that some other songs from that era have. As well as not so often being so overtly political and lending to the message that some move makers are going for.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑08 Feb 2018, 9:06pmLooking at what people have offered up, what's notably missing is the Beatles.

Re: It's a 1960s movie
I like this idea as it has that unintentional, self-generating engine aspect to it. The other possibility that I wonder is that, Stones aside, the list is American. It does make some sense that there's something very local about how these things are constructed.revbob wrote: ↑08 Feb 2018, 9:35pmCould it be a little of both?

Re: It's a 1960s movie
Yeah other than say Paint it Black, Satisfaction (in Apocalypse Now), We Gotta get out of this Place and a few others the songs for such movies I think tend to be overwhelming American and I think other than perhpas having a song of that era American songs of that period are usually a better reflection of the times as experienced from the American perspective.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑08 Feb 2018, 9:43pmI like this idea as it has that unintentional, self-generating engine aspect to it.

Re: It's a 1960s movie
And, really, with their affection for blues, the Stones were always more American sounding than the Beatles.revbob wrote: ↑08 Feb 2018, 9:53pmYeah other than say Paint it Black, Satisfaction (in Apocalypse Now), We Gotta get out of this Place and a few others the songs for such movies I think tend to be overwhelming American and I think other than perhpas having a song of that era American songs of that period are usually a better reflection of the times as experienced from the American perspective.Dr. Medulla wrote: ↑08 Feb 2018, 9:43pmI like this idea as it has that unintentional, self-generating engine aspect to it.

Re: It's a 1960s movie
Good call. Very effective in 'Coming Home' with Jane Fonda, Bruce Dern and Jon Voight, along with the Stones' Out of Time, JJ Flash and Sympathy, all played in their entirety (very unusual to play the full track, but those scenes really benefit from it).
