― That one guy that hit it and quit it, Saturday, 29 December 2007 18:51 (eighteen years ago)

this is kind of impossible. impulse is to vote for rags to riches tho.

― s1ocki, Saturday, 29 December 2007 18:53 (eighteen years ago)

Best song or best "use" of song?

― Dom Passantino, Saturday, 29 December 2007 18:55 (eighteen years ago)

or best sound quality of song?

― s1ocki, Saturday, 29 December 2007 18:58 (eighteen years ago)

Wasn't "I only have eyes for you" by the Flamingos in GoodFellas?

― Bobbi Peru, Saturday, 29 December 2007 19:02 (eighteen years ago)

'Layla (Piano Exit)' is astounding in Goodfellas. That's my pick.

― Mister Craig, Saturday, 29 December 2007 19:51 (eighteen years ago)

iirc the tape machine was running at the wrong speed for the piano part so the pitch was altered making it MICROTONAL

― Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Saturday, 29 December 2007 20:22 (eighteen years ago)

of layla obv

― Catsupppppppppppppp dude 茄蕃, Saturday, 29 December 2007 20:22 (eighteen years ago)

Man. too hard to pick.

All of the songs from the "May, 1980" sequence, the Layla coda, the christmas songs, "Sunshine of your Love"... too hard to pick.

― Pleasant Plains, Saturday, 29 December 2007 21:18 (eighteen years ago)

Almost everything here is great but i went for frosty the snowman

― cedar, Saturday, 29 December 2007 21:29 (eighteen years ago)

Toss up between "What Is Life" and "Jump Into the Fire".

― Darin, Saturday, 29 December 2007 21:32 (eighteen years ago)

"Memo From Turner" by several miles

― Pillbox, Saturday, 29 December 2007 21:51 (eighteen years ago)

I know I'd go from rags to riches
If you would only say you care

― calstars, Saturday, 29 December 2007 23:32 (eighteen years ago)

Every scene in this movie is a music video.

― calstars, Saturday, 29 December 2007 23:33 (eighteen years ago)

yow that movies has a shitload of songs in it

― jhøshea, Saturday, 29 December 2007 23:37 (eighteen years ago)

"Then He Kissed Me" by a landslide. Best scene in any movie ever, bar none.

Though "Jump Into The Fire" and the end of Layla are pretty top notch as well.

― joygoat, Sunday, 30 December 2007 06:39 (eighteen years ago)

'frosty the snowman' rocks the shit any time of year.

― That one guy that hit it and quit it, Sunday, 30 December 2007 10:48 (eighteen years ago)

This is the only use of "Gimme Shelter" in a movie that isn't lumpen, I think. Not voting for it tho.

― Noodle Vague, Sunday, 30 December 2007 10:57 (eighteen years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

― ILX System, Wednesday, 2 January 2008 00:01 (eighteen years ago)

"magic bus." there is no better car-accident music than live Who.

― Lawrence the Looter, Wednesday, 2 January 2008 03:30 (eighteen years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

― ILX System, Thursday, 3 January 2008 00:01 (seventeen years ago)

correct

― El Tomboto, Thursday, 3 January 2008 04:27 (seventeen years ago)

one year passes...

good poll.

― (*ﾟーﾟ)θ L(。･＿･)　　　°~ヾ(･ε･ *) (Steve Shasta), Monday, 26 January 2009 18:18 (sixteen years ago)

tough one.

― s1ocki, Monday, 26 January 2009 18:40 (sixteen years ago)

FUCK YOU. POLL ME

― s1ocki, Monday, 26 January 2009 18:40 (sixteen years ago)

two weeks pass...

Apparently using "Jump into the Fire" was Ileana Douglas's idea.

― Bianca Jagger (jaymc), Wednesday, 11 February 2009 23:51 (sixteen years ago)

I missed this poll, but the answer is correct. I love how it's used in the movie, too -- it's a bright sunny day, I got a trunk full of illegal firearms, and oh that bassline. Perfect.

― Bad Banana On Broadway (kenan), Thursday, 12 February 2009 00:14 (sixteen years ago)

"Then He Kissed Me" by The Crystals 1

pretty sure this was me

― and what, Thursday, 12 February 2009 00:18 (sixteen years ago)

That's over the (legendary) tracking shot into the Copa, right?

― Bad Banana On Broadway (kenan), Thursday, 12 February 2009 00:22 (sixteen years ago)

yes

― and what, Thursday, 12 February 2009 00:25 (sixteen years ago)

i probably would have voted "monkey man" because that whole sequence is so tense and paranoid

― Yah Trick Ya Kid K (M@tt He1ges0n), Thursday, 12 February 2009 00:44 (sixteen years ago)

yeesh, "Mannish Boy" by Muddy Waters 0

― PappaWheelie V, Thursday, 12 February 2009 00:54 (sixteen years ago)

atlantis

― Local Garda, Thursday, 12 February 2009 01:13 (sixteen years ago)

one month passes...

so am i the "my way" person or did i forget to vote?

― he sounded italian enough to give me something (the schef (adam schefter ha ha)), Monday, 23 March 2009 02:43 (sixteen years ago)

What was the "second use" of the Layla coda? During the closing credits?
