The idea of brushing aside the reputation that other people have carved out for you is a wonderful lesson for both boys and girls. Joan JettвЂ™s ode to not caring that people hate her is a great rock anthem for both genders. Failure to comply will result in lost revenue, water boarding, and a disapproving raise of JackвЂ™s eyebrow, Rock-style. ItвЂ™s a little-known law, passed by Congress in early-2000, that if Jack Black appears in a movie, this song must either be featured or, at the very least, the title must be exploited to remind us his last name is Black. Once again, an iconic and fairly simple guitar riff plays throughout the song, which instantly alerts moviegoers to one of two things: this film has ATTITUDE, or Jack BlackвЂ™s in it.

But Back In Black, one of the bandвЂ™s biggest hits, seems to be used more than others, so it gets the nod. They are the go-to group for testosterone and ugly male aggression, and roughly 23,548,271 movies follow suit. Honestly, we could plug damn near any AC/DC song into this list and it would work, as the band is overplayed, period. This is supposedly clever, but somehow ends up almost tragic. Perhaps the worst offender is Disney, who uses the song when introducing almost any character with anything slightly resembling an attitude.

In case youвЂ™ve forgotten, and thereвЂ™s no reason why you should remember, Joe Dirt was a flop where David Spade wore a mullet and did David Spade things. And not cool films either weвЂ™re talking movies like Joe Dirt. Sadly, itвЂ™s that instantly recognizable riff that causes вЂњBad To The BoneвЂќ to be done to death in the movies. ItвЂ™s an awesome song with an iconic guitar riff that all can recognize and learn to play in ten minutes at the local Guitar Center. George ThorogoodвЂ™s ode to being born with attitude is naturally a little silly (a doctor is likely not going to be scared of a newborn after two minutes of life), but we can chalk that up to poetic license. The problem comes when every movie trailer on the planet uses it to showcase a character racing, driving, jogging, crawling, or doing anything that requires them to вЂњget their motor running.вЂќ Using this song to advertise movies about rapping houseflies, zebras that think theyвЂ™re horses, and rock monsters taking their baby for a leisurely bicycle ride to the store, does little but strangle the song to death. If left alone and only played on classic rock radio fifty times a week, itвЂ™s perfectly acceptable music. This song helped spearhead the hard-rock genre and introduced us all to the term вЂњheavy metal.вЂќ Sure, it didnвЂ™t mean then what it means now (вЂњheavy metal thunderвЂќ is the lyric, so Steppenwolf basically invented slang to aptly describe how awesome his motorcycle is) but, since it works, allвЂ™s good. If your four year old can watch a movie, hear a song, happily clap along, and have nobody object to this, then the song is officially a marshmallow. Those hands are usually found on the bodies of people that make movies and the trailers that hype them. But ion the wrong hands, the song can become a parody of itself. Get the Atomic BlondeВ soundtrack now on iTunes.Some songs are just plain cool, invoking images of aggression, testosterone, passion, sex, or just a general eff-you attitude toward the world. Each song not only fuels the filmвЂ™s ferocious energy, but contains a history all its own that speaks to the unique time and place of the film.В For The Verge, вЂњitвЂ™s the filmвЂ™s soundtrack that truly reveals its personality-and makes its best scenes unforgettable moments that will continue playing in my mind on loop.вЂќВ To dive deeper, we asked the music supervisors to pick five essential songs and explain what makes them so special for Atomic Blonde.ДЄtomic BlondeВ opens on July 28. To propel the heart-pounding action, music supervisors John HoulihanВ and Willa YudellВ pulled together an astounding soundtrack with songs that instantly transport one back to the combustible, creative period before the Berlin Wall came down. Joining up with David Percival ( James McAvoy), the charming, conniving Berlin station chief, she encounters a city split in two and teetering on the edge of the Cold War. In David LeitchвЂ™s Atomic Blonde, Charlize TheronВ explodes as Lorraine Broughton, a special British agent sent to Berlin in 1989 to recover a top-secret dossier from falling into KGB hands.
