The Sound of Music.

Other than elevator music, I can't say I hear any popular show tunes. A recent exception was the movie Marry Me which built a scene around If Ever I Would Leave You from Camelot (Lerner & Lowe) featuring Robert Goulet from the soundtrack album.

Smokey and The Bandit may be a cult thing.

--OR--

Are you talking about Freddie King's Going Down which is the theme song from the "East Bound & Down" TV series?

 

[dfergie]

Smokey and the Bandit, it popped up on YouTube, I was of course captured as it was one of the first VHS tapes I ever rented.

 

["MysteryMan"]

"Moon River" from "Breakfast at Tiffany's".

 

[Bobby]

Stand By Me from Stand By Me.

Just Once - Quincy Jones

From the movie The Last American Virgin.

Anna Kendrick (and in fact all the vocalists in the Pitch Perfect movies) sings all the songs herself.
