Line 2:
A [[Movie Bonus Song]] must be:
# Featured in a film adaptation of a musical (and not be a [[Cut Song]])
# Written specifically for the film version, not carried over from the stage production or originating elsewhere (which excludes "From This Moment On" from ''[[Kiss Me Kate]]'', and "When All Is Said And Done" from ''[[Mamma Mia!]]''!)
# Written by at least one of the original songwriters (which excludes songs such as "The Continental" from ''The Gay Divorcee'', "You're The One That I Want" from ''[[Grease]]'' and "I Will Always Love You" from ''The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas'')
Line 54:
** Not to mention the simple, beautiful [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ACM-4mbpuQ "Could We Start Again Please?"] from the 2000 film version.
*** "Could We Start Again Please" is indeed beautiful, but not an example of this trope; it has been a part of the stage show since the original production in 1971. (The 1973 film [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gE7pgUvirgM also included it].)
* Notably averted in "''[[Mamma Mia!]]''". Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson were asked to write an original song for the film and blankly refused.
* "Learn to be Lonely" from [[The Phantom of the Opera]]. The Phantom was meant to sing another song with the same melody, called "No One Would Listen", but that scene was cut from the film. You can find it on the DVD though. So this is a case of both Movie Bonus Song and [[Cut Song]]. Or something.
* "When the Tigers Broke Free" from ''[[The Wall]].''
