Name a song that figures prominently in more than one movie

[nuxvomica]

I'll start with "Kiss from a Rose"

I recently saw the 2015 Vacation remake with Ed Helms and Christina Applegate in which the song "Kiss from a Rose" is used to emphasize the family's renewed camaraderie after a messy fight with a family of jerks. The song is of course the signature tune from 1995's Batman Forever. I've also been streaming Community recently and caught a scene where Britta quotes some of the lyrics to razz Jeff about the embarrassing karaoke video of the song he made with Dean Pelton. So I figured the Universe was telling me I should post this thread.

The U.S. version was also used in the 1986 motion picture Iron Eagle during a jet fighter attack scene, but was not included in the associated soundtrack produced by Capitol Records.

6. Most overused movie songs.

.

You can't do a movie that references the 60's without CCR or Buffalo Springfield being in it.

They're so overused it's cliche.
