What are some songs not written for film that you end up associating with a particular movie or scene anyway just because it's so memorable? Like they might as well have been specifically written for that film since you can't help but think of it every time upon listening. I'll start:

The Power of Love by Huey Lewis and the News. Pretty sure only Back in Time was specifically written for Back to the Future.

Ha. Mrs K was mad I made her watch the movie since she can no longer hear that song without picturing that scene.

Also, clarification from the OP, please: Songs written specifically for the movie, or pre-existing songs licensed for the movie?
