  1. Iron Maiden - The Prisoner (from the BBC TV show of the same name)
    This from songfacts.com
    A musical adaptation of the old BBC television series, The Prisoner. The song begins with Patrick McGoohan's opening narration from the show.
    Rod Smallwood, the band manager, was very nervous about calling Patrick McGoohan to get permission to use the quote. After bolstering up the courage to call McGoohan, he explained the proposition uncomfortably. McGoohan thought for a moment, than asked, "What was the band's name again?" Rod, who was downright scared at this point, told him again. "A rock band, you say?" McGoohan continued thoughtfully. Suddenly, he commanded "Do it!" sharply before hanging up. The band cracked up at this afterwards.

    Fool's overture from Supertramp has a Winston Churchill speech in it but if you're talking about music videos then the Under Pressure music video

    There is a movie playing on Pink Floyds The Wall on a few songs ( Nobody Home and Vera ) where a guy keeps talking to or about his dog with an unfortunate name.

    Beyond McGoohan just being cool AF as he always was, imagine today's lawyers curling up and screaming at the very idea.

    Squeeze uses a clip of Jack Nicholson from The Shining in the song Last Time Forever.

    "A momentary loss of muscular coordination."



    For some reason, I love it when these clips are inserted into songs. Good thread.

    Kevin Moore did this all the time - there's samples on A Change of Seasons, Space Dye Vest, 6:00, The Mirror, and Honor Thy Father (don't recall what was sampled there) here's a list from YT - it worked well imo, Dream Theater was good in the Moore era. These quotes aren't even conclusive, Space Dye Vest has three different samples, and only one is here - can't be bothered to look further into it.

    6 O' Clock

    ►The Dead (1987)

    "- Six o'clock on Christmas morning! And for what?
    - Well, isn't it for the honour of God, Aunt Kate?
    - I know all about the honour of God, Mary Jane"

    The Mirror

    ►Falling In Love (1984)
    ►Damage (1992)
    ►Light Sleeper (1992)

    "What am I doing ?"

    "What are you doing ?"

    "I haven't behaved as I should"

    "Everything you need is around you.
    The only danger is inside you."

    "I thought you could control life, but it's not like that.
    There are things you can't control."


    Space Dye Vest

    ►A Room With A View (1985)
    ►The Fifth Estate : Trouble With Evan (1994)

    "...he's the sort who can't know anyone intimately, least of all a woman.
    He doesn't know what a woman is. He wants you for a possession, something to look at,
    like a painting or an ivory box, something to own and to display.
    He doesn't want you to be real, or to think, or to live. He doesn't love you. But I love you.
    I want you to have your own thoughts and ideas and feelings,
    even when I hold you in my arms...it's our last chance."


    A Change Of Seasons

    ►Dead Poets Society (1989)
    ►Table For Five (1983)

    "It's the most awful thing you'll ever hear.
    Your mom...who you dearly love..
    ...has had to leave all our lives now."

    "Seize the day!"

    "Something happened."

    "Gather ye rosebuds while ye may."

    "She was killed."

    At the end of Suede's "The Asphalt World" you can hear Lauren Bacall in Woman's World.

    I've really enjoyed both Sidewalk Prophets Christmas albums these past few years. Our choir did What A Glorious Night as part of our cantata. Our kids choir joined us on it and sounded great. Great fun to play guitar on. Thanks for posting.
