Post by: NicoMK on March 02, 2021, 02:13:18 PM: Hi SamGolden,

You mean, in which movies or series can we find a MK song or parts of it --- apart from the soundtracks that he wrote, of course?

For instance, I recall hearing Darling Pretty in the 1996 film Twister.

Post by: quizzaciously on March 02, 2021, 02:37:38 PM: Honestly, I don't know about Mark's music sounding good in any movie, but any one of his songs would make it a perfect song for the credits for sure.

Title: Re: Songs Of DS or MK in the movies or series
Post by: border_reiver on March 02, 2021, 09:23:47 PM: From the BiA Wikipedia page

"The song appeared in the second-season episode "Out Where the Buses Don't Run" of Miami Vice, the third-season episode "I Coulda Been a Defendant" of Due South, and the second season finale of The West Wing, "Two Cathedrals".[10] In each instance, it is used over the climactic scenes of the episode. It was also featured in the 1991 film McBain, the 2001 movie Spy Game and most recently in the series finale, "START", of The Americans as well as the episode "Say Again Your Last" in SEAL Team. It was used as the title music to the 1992 BBC drama series Civvies. The song also appeared in the series finale of Supernatural (American TV series)."

Title: Re: Songs Of DS or MK in the movies or series
Post by: quizzaciously on March 02, 2021, 10:57:58 PM: Interesting that Mark refuses offers from people who want to use his music in music TV shows, and yet he agrees on using so many of his songs in movies when the majority of viewers won't even notice it. Take Darling Pretty in the 1996 film Twister, it's playing on the radio for a bit in a pitch-corrected version, the song is barely recognizable. And yet, in the music shows where the actual accent is on the music he refuses offers from people wanting to perform his music.

I know this is because he hates the music business and TV shows, but I thought that's an interesting fact to pinpoint.

Post by: quizzaciously on March 03, 2021, 11:33:41 AM: Here's a weird one. In a cult 1997 Russian movie "Brat" a bit of "Don't You Get It" was used. Here around 1:32:40 mark:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDaaCGZz-Ok

I don't know whether it was officially used though, knowing Russia I wouldn't be surprised it was just put there accidentally. But you have it nevertheless.

Post by: jbaent on March 03, 2021, 11:56:36 AM: I read in IMDB that MK had a song in a film titled "Issina" or something like that, but never found info about it.

Post by: KnopfleRick on March 03, 2021, 02:30:54 PM: Thanks for the interesting thread. :thumbsup
Since I`ve not been a big TV or movie watcher I had no idea how many songs were used on films.
It seems that BIA is the one that had been used the most in movies or series until now.
Title: Re: Songs Of DS or MK in the movies or series
Post by: K-alberto on March 03, 2021, 10:59:21 PM: BIA in The Americans has an important role in the last episode of the final season. Magic series, by the way.
