Theme songs (in Off-topic)

I am working on a film, the opening to which is a parody of the opening in "the Good the Bad and the Ugly." What happens in the real film is actually unimportant, what I am looking for is ideas for a song/music to go along with each character (the good, the bad, and the ugly). Whoever provides an idea that I use will be rewarded.

something by courtney love for "the Ugly"

/me hates her

Maybe " good sister/ bad sister" from the album "Pretty on the inside"

the good - Train (drops of Jupiter)
The bad - The Offspring (why dont you get a job)
The Ugly - Akon (Mr. Lonely)

those should work :D

Good responses so far, Soul, I am looking for faster songs.

whatever you choose, you should have someone whistle it. :-)

Are you looking for any particular style of music? What kind of movie is it, genre-wise?

I guess I'm wondering whether by "faster songs", you mean upbeat electro type stuff, or just hard rock, or what...

Maelstrom, I am not looking for a particular genre, just fast and exiting music.

OK, I'll see what I can turn up :)

Ace of Base - Angel Eyes
Los DelTonos - Tuco
The Specials - The Man with No Name

Then all the film snobs will be impressed with your self-referential acknowledgement of the original which you parody.

Stephen, impressive suggestions.

*not to say I don't want more, please keep them coming folks.

it would be awesome if you could somehow work in flight of the bumble bee for like a chase scene or something

for the extremely bad ass good guy - Phony, by Neil Voss (from the soundtrack to tetrisphere)

Good
Hard to do good, maybe Fat Boy Slim - "Praise you"
For feel good, maybe Bill Withers - "Lovely Day"
Over the top feel good - Tony Christie - "Amarillo"
Or even most over the top happy song ever made - Blumchen - "Nur getraumt".

Bad
Latin feel.. Ancient evil Era-Ameno.
For German evil... Rammstein - "Du Hast"
Rocking evil type theme.. Rage Against the Machine their matrix theme.

Ugly
Travis "Why does it always rain on me?"
or for irony Republica with "Drop dead gorgeous" - "yeah yeah, and he's drop dead gorgeous.."
or for really ugly... "Sting / Police - Don't stand so close to me" :p
And finally for pity... Eric Carmen - "All by myself"


Thought I might aswell give it a go :D

For German evil... Rammstein - "Du Hast"

Ack, that's such a bad track. If you want real evil German music, look for Das Ich, Suicide Commando, or The Retrosic. The artists that Rammstein ripped off...

But you want English, and my list is coming in a second.

Maelstrom, I am very pumped for this list.

OK, after searching for keywords and browsing a bit in my massive and eclectic music library, I've come up with the following:

• Good:
  • Adam Ant - Goody Two Shoes
  • Gavin Friday - Angel
  • NamNamBulu - Guardian Angel
  • Bryan Ferry - Sweet and Lovely
• Bad:
  • Lou Reed - Vicious
  • Jim Croce - Bad, Bad Leroy Brown
  • Jack Johnson - Mediocre Bad Guys
  • Nick Cave And The Bad Seeds - Stagger Lee (*or other versions of this song*)
  • The Shadows Of Knight - Bad Little Woman
  • Ben Harper & The Blind Boys of Alabama - Wicked Man
  • Alice Cooper - No More Mr. Nice Guy
  • Santana - Evil Ways
  • Tom Waits - A Good Man Is Hard To Find
  • Marc Almond - Satan's Child
• Ugly:
  • The Rolling Stones - Winning Ugly
  • Marilyn Manson - Fundamentally Loathsome
  • Rob Zombie - Superbeast
• All together?
  • Dirty Beatniks - W---es, Freaks, Saints And Angels

Judging / rating music is like saying one colour is better than another... Not that I'm even a fan of Rammstein, but get over yourself :p

orange is SO much better than blue...but seriously...nobody like my suggestion?...all three themes in one song (if you consider album name)

Don't pollute my thread please, I don't want it getting bumped with arguments, and I get excited and I click, and its this shash. Please.

good: got nuthin'


bad: Alkaline Trio- We've had enough



Ugly: AFI- god called in sick today
Green Day- Boulevard of Broken Dreams
