Free - The Martinis

“I didn’t realize that it really was love because it was more than love and it wasn’t just some stupid feeling in my stomach like everything else and I’ll never love anybody as much as you and I hate you! I hate you!”

Superstar - Sonic Youth

Cherry Bomb - The Runaways

“It was the last day of school in 1976, a time they’d never forget… if only they could remember.”

- Tagline from Dazed and Confused

America - Simon and Garfunkel

“This song explains why I’m leaving home to become a stewardess.”

- Anita Miller, Almost Famous

Whatever (I had a dream) - Butthole Surfers

“Here’s to the Montagues,
John Wayne, and Bette Davis
And Romeo, he waved before this chorus girl and beggars hair
Juliet is up in heaven, a pocket full of pills
And Jesus drives to Mexico, to get her prescription filled

I had a dream last night, and it fit me like a glove
I heard a scream last night
It was getting kinda fun (yeah, rock out, whatever)…”

Rebel, Rebel - David Bowie

“You’ve torn your dress, your face is a mess
You can’t get enough, but enough ain’t the test
You’ve got your transmission and your live wire
You got your cue line and a handful of ludes
You wanna be there when they count up the dudes…”

Romeo and Juliet - Dire Straits

“I can’t do the talk like the talk on the TV
And I can’t do a love song like the way it’s meant to be
I can’t do everything but I’d do anything for you
I can’t do anything except be in love with you…”

Tangerine - Led Zeppelin

Tangerine, Tangerine,

Living reflection from a dream;
I was her love, she was my queen,

And now a thousand years between…

“So Nice So Smart” - Kimya Dawson

I like boys with strong convictions
and convicts with perfect diction
underdogs with good intentions
amputees with stamp collections
plywood skin-boards ride the ocean
salty noses suntan lotion
always seriously joking
and rambunctiously soft-spoken
I like boys that like their mothers
and I have a thing for brothers
but they always wait til we’re under the covers
to say I’m sure glad we’re not lovers

Yumeji’s Theme by Shigeru Umebayashi.

I think it is safe to call this song one of the most iconic songs in cinema. While In The Mood For Love is not my favorite Wong Kar-Wai film, it does have the absolute best soundtrack of them all.
