Okay is The Beatles "Octopus' Garden" too obvious a choice for Grabbers?

I can't complain but sometimes I still do. Life's been good to me so far.

Here's what Colossus the database came up with:

Title (Year)	Song	Artist
Grabbers (2013)	Hold On	Sarah McLachlan
..	~~Rock Lobster~~	B-52s
..	Octopus	Jonathan Coulton
..	I Go to Pieces	Peter & Gordon
..	I Guess I Just Lost My Head	Karen Carpenter
..	Be My Head	The Flaming Lips
..	Put Your Head On My Shoulder	Paul Anka
..	Passenger Side	Wilco
..	If You Don't Start Drinking (I'm Gonna Leave)	George Thouroughgood
..	Atomic Cocktail	Slim Galliard
..	Tryin' To Throw Your Arms Around The World	U2
..	Basically Frightened	Col. Bruce Hampton & The Aquarium Rescue Unit
..	Be Calm	Fun
..	What Shall We do with a Drunken Sailor	Burl Ives
..	Bottom of The Sea	George Thuorogood
..	Between The Devil And The Deep Blue Sea	Ella Fitzgerald
..	Octopus' Garden	Beatles, Kidz Bop Kids
..	Diver Damned	The Rifftones
..	Don't Go Near the Water	Wild Cherry
..	~~On the Banks of the Rhine with a Stein~~	Arthur Collins
..	Under the Anheuser Bush	Billy Murray
..	Fol-de-rol	Edward Favor
..	Small Town	John Cougar Mellenkamp
..	My Little Town	Simon and Garfunkle

A line from the trailer was inspiring:

"What do you suppose killed him?"
"His head's been separated from his body."
"What could do such a thing?"
"A tiger?"

George Thoroughgood's ditty on alcoholic enabling has promise. It looks like I'll have to add some of the many Irish drinking songs to the database. The German ones just won't do. Wink

Wow 4 titles added.
Only have ideas for 2 of them
Wild Wild West by Escape Club for WestWorld
The Urban Spaceman by Bonzo Dog Band for Silent Running.

Although since Harry Belefonte stars in World The Flesh & The Devil maybe could use The Banana Boat Song. Its chorus of "Daylight Comes and Me Wanna Go Home" fits a film marathon somehow.

I can't complain but sometimes I still do. Life's been good to me so far.

Here's a song that I feel would be appropriate at this time...

"I Can't Get Russell Johnson Off My Mind!" - Show Business Giants

You can see some ideas for "Westworld" about a dozen posts back when it was slated for the Horrorthon.

"The World, The Flesh and the Devil" was a slam dunk for the BmDb. While a Coal Mine and Smiling Dummy figure into the story, Love, New York, Depopulation and the A-Bomb offered plenty of choices:

Title (Year)	Song	Artist
The World, The Flesh
and the Devil (1959)	(I thought that Love was) Science Fiction	Divinyls
	Big City Blues	Annette Hanshaw
..	Can Broadway do Without Me	Jimmy Durante
..	(A girl Who) Glows in the Dark	Show Business Giants
..	Hey St. Peter	Flash And The Pan
..	If You Were the Only Girl in the World	Larry Douglas
..	It's the End of the World As We Know It	R.E.M.
..	Just Too Many People	Melissa Manchester
..	Let's Fill Up The World With Little Babies	Show Business Giants
..	Momma Said	The Shirelles
..	New York	U2
..	New York ain't New York Anymore	Dixie Stars
..	NYC	Moon Boot Lover
..	Shattered	Rolling Stones
..	Splendid Isolation	Warren Zevon
..	Starting All Over Again	Israel Kamakawiwo'ole
..	The World is Too Crowded	Show Business Giants
..	Waiting for the End of the World	Elvis Costello
..	We'll All Go Together When We Go	Tom Lehrer

There are a lot of environmental songs and a few good robot songs for "[b]Silent Running". I'll post that list soon.

"Silent Running" is such a gentle and somber film, I'd really hate to follow it up with the punk version of "Eve of Destruction" or "Iron Man", remembering that the song for the film was done by Joan Baez.

Title (Year)	Song	Artist
Silent Running
(1972)	(Nothing But) Flowers	Talking Heads
..	(What's so funny about) Peace Love and Understanding	Elvis Costello
..	All We Have Is Now	The Flaming Lips
..	Artificial Heart	Jonathan Coulton
..	Big Yellow Taxi (Paved Paradise and Put Up A Parking Lot)	Joni Mitchell
..	Eve of Destruction	Barry McGuire
..	It's All Over Now	Bob Dylan
..	It's All Over Now	Rolling Stones
..	Natural Kind Of Lover	Moon Boot Lover
..	Nothing Lasts	Matthew Sweet
..	One More Robot/Sympathy 3000-21	The Flaming Lips
..	Robot	Miley Cyrus
..	Robot Parade	They Might Be Giants
..	Tree House	Buffalo Tom
..	Until The End Of The World	U2
..	Valley	Doves
..	Waiting for the End of the World	Elvis Costello
..	Where Have All the Flowers Gone?	Peete Seeger Marlene Dietrich
..	Last Night of the World	Bruce Cockburn

"The Power" is also a fun one, being a cerebral storyline. The Hero's name is Jim, thus the last song on the list.

Title (Year)	Song	Artist
The Power
(1968)	(I Thought I Heard My) Head Exploding	Matt Keating
..	Are You A Hypnotist?	The Flaming Lips
..	Blinded Me With Science	Thomas Dolby
..	Can't Get It Out of My Head	Electric Light Orchestra
..	Eveybody Wants to Rule the World	Tears for Fears
..	I Think You Think Too Much	Against All Authority
..	If You Could Read My Mind	John Keenan
..	I've Got The Power	Snap
..	Miracle Man	Elvis Costello
..	Still Alive	Jonathan Coulton, theramin vers.
..	The Supermen	David Bowie
..	The World Belongs to You	Jonathan Coulton
..	Think Too Much	Paul Simon
..	Thinking Too Much	Meiko
..	Unwell	Matchbox 20
..	Weird Science	Oingo Boingo
..	You Don't Mess Around With Jim	Jim Croce

Thanks to Kirok for "I've Got the Power" Any other thoughts?

I bring you peace. It may be the peace of plenty and content or the peace of unburied death.

By the looks of it, the body count is pretty high and Europa is a moon after all. I'm fond of the Waterboys' song, partly for the lyric:

"You saw BRIGADOON." A term Garen often used to describe the festival/'thon.

"The Visitor" is another fun one for break music titles. Again I haven't had the er, uh, pleasure of seeing this demonic debacle, but it looks to have a "Lady Terminator" vibe about it. Good movie: hell no! Good fit: hell yes!

The first bunch of titles are based on the girl evil, demon, "possession", "school" and "bird" elements. The last ones are based on the low quality score.

Title (Year)	Song	Artist
The Visitor (1979)	Bad Girls	M.I.A
..	Bad Girls	Donna Summer
..	Bad to the Bone	George Thuorogood
..	Bewitched, Bothered, And Bewildered	Ella Fitzgerald
..	Bitch	Goo Goo Dolls
..	Bitch School	Spinal Tap
..	Born To Be Bad	George Thuorogood, The Runaways
..	Breaking The Girl	Red Hot Chili Peppers
..	Evil Woman	Electric Light Orchestra
..	Finished With Finishing School	The Upper Crust
..	Girl Anachronism	Dresden Dolls
..	I Love Little Girls	Oingo Boingo
..	I Put a Spell on You	The Crazy World of Arthur Brown
..	I Want to Be Bad	Annette Hanshaw
..	Joan Crawford (has risen from the grave)	Blue Öyster Cult
..	Look Who's Evil Now (Album Version)	Evil Dead Cast
..	Possession	Sarah McLachlan
..	Some Girls	Rolling Stones
..	Star Star	Rolling Stones
..	Strange Magic	Electric Light Orchestra
..	Sulky Girl	Robert Palmer
..	Super Freak	Rick James
..	Sympathy for the Devil	Rolling Stones
..	Thank Heaven for Little Girls	Maurice Chevalier
..	Freebird	Lynyrd Skynyrd, Natalie Merchant
..	How Silly Can you Get	Val Klmer
..	The Breakup Song (They Just Don't Write Em Like That Anymore)	Greg Khin Band
..	What the F*** Was That	Evil Dead cast
..	What's Going On	Marvin Gaye
..	Why Must the Show Go On	Noel Coward

Yep, it's on LA's official locked thread. "The Truman Show" has just been added. "I'll Be Watching You" by The Police and Alan Parson's "Eye in the Sky" immediately jump into my thoughts. I'll see what Colossus has to say shortly. Chime in on any of these anybody, there are a lot of great song titles I know nothing about.

VISITOR isn't totally official. Just presumed since a 30 year old Italian cult flick doesn't seem to fit in with the likes of MOTIVATIONAL GROWTH, GONAD or FOLKLORE..........
