    The subject line was an interesting post today that seemed worthy of Hoffmanian debate.

    A glance through the archives suggested "Best Movie Songs" had been debated, but that was many years ago (2006) and no longer active.

    SO, Hoffman masses, riddle me this: What are YOUR thoughts about the best and worst movie-related songs?

    I'd add "Live and Let Die" and "Skyfall" to the best list.

    Kind of a dirty song but it's Steely Dan so that's not odd. Still a song about showing adult films to under aged teens, hilarious, only the Dan could do that

    Best: "Tops" - The Rolling Stones. Mick and Keith do a ballad about the casting couch. A little more subtle than . . .

    Worst: "Star F*&%$er" - The Rolling Stones. They should have given this one to David Lee Roth.

    Do you want songs about watching movies, or songs from movies?
