Best application of a music track in a movie

[MonkeeMan]

"Low Rider" in "Up In Smoke"

[Cumulonimbus]

Phhh. "Black Betty" in Blow. (Remember, he's struttin thru the airport in his white suit, about to deliver some cocaine.)

Cameron Crowe uses music tracks really well in his movies. I don't know if any one of them would qualify as the best ever, but he is the best at using them right now IMO.

I also liked "Blinded by the Light", or whatever it's called by whoever sings that thing... the James Gang or whoever. Everytime I hear this song now I think of Blow.

I think of the scene where Johnny Depp is standing in his driveway puffing away while admiring his fleet of cars while his dad nods his head in approval/disapproval.

my submission is, "stuck in the middle with you" and the ear lopping scene in Resevoir Dogs.

"Blinded by the light, held up like a loofah by the foreman of the night..."

Sorry, couldn't resist. Vague reference to a mid-90's Comedy Central Show (The Vacant Lot) Skit about a bunch of guys arguing over "Blinded by the Light".
