Comment:

When a song is inextricably linked to a movie, it can end up with an image that's a long way from what the artist might have had in mind. Stealer's Wheel's unassuming folk-rocker "Stuck In the Middle With You" started out as an early-'70s pop hit before Quentin Tarantino put it to much more sinister use in Michael Madsen's notorious knife-wielding scene from [i]Reservoir Dogs[/i]. Southern soul godhead Otis Redding could never have guessed that his '66 Stax/Volt hit "Try a Little Tenderness" would find new life in 1991 with a band of Irishmen whose own soulful story is told in [i]The Commitments[/i]. And when country picker Arthur Smith penned the perky "Feudin' Banjos" in the '50s, how could he have imagined it offering an eerie backdrop for the dark visions of 1972's [i]Deliverance[/i] as "Dueling Banjos"?
