What are some songs that came out of movies or tv shows that just hammer down? I’m not talking about everyday songs that were made famous from movies, but songs that were made in and specifically for a piece of media.

For the metalheads afoot, Angry Again by Megadeth was writtien specifically for Last Action Hero. That's one of the catchiest songs they ever wrote.

Had Colin Hay done Overkill acoustic before Scrubs? Not quite original, but hit differently and I’ve always associated the solo acoustic take with the show.

"Green is the Colour" by Pink Floyd
a lesser known gem from their album "More" which was the soundtrack to a movie of the same name. Never seen the movie but LOVE that song.

i honestly have always enjoyed the intro song for "That 70's Show"
also, "How I Met Your Mother" has an honorable mention for a fun song
last, I really enjoy the "Psyche" intro song

That 70’s Show theme was a cover of “In the Street” by Big Star.
