My Nominations for the PHC Top 3 Monthly Contest - Movie Tunes
This is my entry into this month’s PHC Top 3 contest.
This months topic is Movie Tunes
| No | Nomination | My Reasons for the Nomination |
| 1 | "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor | From Rocky III this is a great song. Sylvester Stallone wanted to use “Another One Bites the Dust” from Queen but they wouldn’t give him permission. He had Survivor members Frankie Sullivan and Jim Peterik write the song for the movie. They even timed the drums and the guitar to Rocky’s punches! |
| 2 | "Endless Love" by Diana Ross and Lionel Richie | Wow, what a duet this is! It was the biggest hit of each of their careers, for good reason. It was the title song for the movie “Endless Love” starring Brooke Shields. If you aren't moved by this, you have no heart! |
| 3 | "Lose Yourself" by Eminem | You can’t find anything further from my first two picks than this! Eminem wrote and rapped this song for his movie “8 Mile” and he wrote it right on the movie set. It won Best Original Song Oscar and two Grammys. All you have to do is listen to his lyrics - unlike a lot of rap, his make sense, tell a story, and are poured full of his life struggles and pain. |

Going for it again this month! Some solid picks my friend. It couldn't be a poll without that Rocky classic. You can't listen to that song and not get pumped up! I'm with @foxyspirit in that I don't always like rap music, but that Eminem song is quite brilliant. Again, one that brings you right into the place where he wants to take you. Ahh, the queen Diana Ross. Such a great duet with Lionel Richie. Thanks for starting my day off with some great jams! I'm about to work out soon so I might have to crank up that first one... ;)
He he, glad you liked them. I'm not a big follower of show tunes, but I could come up with a few that I could remember. I love music but I don't particularly remember what movie they were on. I thought it was interesting that Eye of the Tiger was written for the movie and musically timed to match his punches!
That is a cool little bit of trivia. I don't think I knew that about Eye of the Tiger either. If it ever comes up on Jeopardy, I'm ready! ;)
LOL, I love Jeopardy, that would be a really cool question for them.@plantstoplanks

I agree with Eminem. There isnt a lot of rap that I like and if there is one I will listen to, it is Eminem.

Three awesome choices @blueeyes8960
EOTT is a classic and was perfect for the movie. Endless Love is one of the best love songs ever. And, although Rap is not high on my list of music genres, Eminem is a standout.
Great job and best of luck.

I love this contest. Great choices @blueeyes8960. I almost chose Lose Yourself.
I remember these; very good choices
@wales, thanks, I'm not much on remembering what songs went with what movies, but some of them stand out in memory.
