[Goring-by-Seagull]

Kanye West - Robocop

 

[smillie's garden]

 

[smillie's garden]

This song is about a whole bunch of Nicholas Roeg films, and we just said goodbye to him, so...

 

[Goldstone1976]

How about one that both references a film AND comes from a film? BOGOF.

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

This definitely counts, and nicely links the thread with BG's latest bit of old mannery

[The Lemming Stomper]

 

[hart's shirt]

Electric Barbarella by Duran Duran, who were themselves named after a character (Durand Durand) from Barbarella, the 1968 cult sci-fi film.

Can the OP clarify the rules. I'm not sure if this one counts as it's more a case of the film referencing the song, which became the title of the film, which meant that the song referenced the film retrospectively as at the time the song was originally released the film didn't actually exist yet.

Pretty in Pink

[Norman Potting]

Surprised this one hasn't appeared yet - ticks several boxes!

 

[marlowe]

Space Oddity : David Bowie
Film: 2001 A Space Odyssey

[marlowe]

Breakfast at Tiffany's

[marlowe]

Given the Beatles (George Harrison) connection to this film it's probably more than a coincidence that the Oasis song shares the same title.

As always, the Weddoes have got this covered.....

 

[marlowe]

Yes I know it was originally a book but there is a film version.
I think Kate looks uncharacteristically ungainly in this unofficial video. I don't think trying to pull off ballet moves in the middle of a field really works. At one point she squats down (2.35) and looks like she's going to have an alfresco pee... or possibly a number 2 mid song but then has second thoughts.....
