What song would make the most people think of a particular movie, but where the song wasn't written or recorded specifically for the movie?
Edit: the rules in next post in the thread make this harder.

@daedalus@eigenmagic.net I saw the Transformers movie this week and Weird Al’s “Dare to be Stupid” certainly wasn’t written for it :)

The song had to be recorded and released without knowing it'd be on the movie soundtrack, basically. A new recording of an existing song (a cover) recorded for the movie soundtrack is disqualified. They have to have used an existing, released version of a song in the movie.
