Grooves and Flicks


Inspired by my last blog, here’s five more movie/song tie-ins (that I’ve completely invented):

John Lennon’s “Woman” was written about Meryl Streep’s character in “Out Of Africa.”
Jack White was inspired to write “Seven Nation Army” after falling asleep during a re-run of “The Chronicles Of Riddick.”
The Kris Kristofferson film “Convoy” took it’s story from a hit country record of the 70s - (“9 to 5” by Dolly Parton.)
The Yuletide Mud classic “Lonely This Christmas” was written as a DVD extra bonus track for the Cliff Richard film “Summer Holiday.” 
Holst wrote ‘The Planets’ after a torrid two-week affair with Mozart. Each part of the suite relates to a certain night they spent together, and a certain position they utilised. That has nothing to do with movies, I admit, but it could have led to an interesting version of ‘Amadeus.’
