Born to be Wild by Steppenwolf is the most overused song with well over 100 Movies and TV Shows adopting the Song.
Bad to the Bone, George Thorogood comes in Second
Staying Alive, Bee Gees comes in third.
Right now watching Valerian, City of a Thousand Planets and Staying Alive has popped up in the 28th Century, 400 million miles from Earth on a Space Travelling City called Alpha inhabited by millions of Species from Thousands of Planets.

@Bretrick Although this is not the most popular for film scores, it is with me as it kinda describes my life as someone who is not risk adverse. I have also rated Betteā”ļø as No 1 for all round entertainment. The Rose from 1979
Some say love, it is a river
That drowns the tender reed
Some say love, it is a razor
That leaves your soul to bleed
Some say love, it is a hunger
An endless aching need
I say love, it is a flower
And you, its only seed
Itās the heart, afraid of breaking
That never learns to dance
Itās the dream, afraid of waking
That never takes the chance
Itās the one who wonāt be taken
Who cannot seem to give
And the soul, afraid of dying
That never learns to live
When the night has been too lonely
And the road has been too long
And you think that love is only
For the lucky and the strong
Just remember in the winter
Far beneath the bitter snows
Lies the seed that with the sunās love
In the spring becomes the rose
ā¦and as a live performance
Surfin Bird by The Trashmen, used in a few films.
A frantic song and none the worse for that
Used to great effect in Full Metal Jacket, really must get a copy on Blu-ray, cracking film!
This song is one of those that very rarely grab my attention.
Loved it when it was first released.
Iād forgotten about that, terrific!
