Music and movies go hand in hand, it’s always been that way right back to the very beginning and 1927’s The Jazz Singer, the first film to feature synchronised music and dialogue. Since then there have been hundreds of thousands of iconic scenes made more so thanks to the choice of song.
You can immediately conjure up some of the best moments in cinema history like The Doors ‘The End’ from Apocalypse Now, Martin Scorsese using ‘Layla’ in Goodfellas or Chuck Berry’s Johnny B. Goode in Back to the Future.
But sometimes, just occasionally, filmmakers get it very wrong indeed. They’ll decide on a piece of music to go with the action on screen that just simply doesn’t work at all, leaving you puzzled as to who exactly decided on the pairing and why.
Here are just a few examples of when music doesn’t match the movie, leaving everyone a confused mess and wishing they’d just used sound effects instead.
