This week’s “Brain Filler” explores the phenomenon of great original singles from terrible movies (apologies, Real Genius fans). Check it out if you have a mintue!
Sadly, we didn’t have room to fit all the singles, and more weren’t good enough (or weren’t from bad enough movies) to qualify. However, I can share them here. Below are 9 more great songs from 9 more shitty films (further apologies to Karate Kid II fans, who are also probably the same folks as Real Genius fans):
-“Rhythm of the Night,” DeBarge (The Last Dragon)
-“Glory of Love,” Peter Cetera (The Karate Kid III)
-“Shakedown,” Bob Seger (Beverly Hills Cop II)
-“Iris,” Goo Goo Dolls (City of Angels)
-“Kiss From a Rose,” Seal (Batman Forever)
-“Heroes,” The Wallflowers (Godzilla)
-“I’ll Remember,” Madonna (With Honors)
-“Old Habits Die Hard,” The Rolling Stones (Alfie)
