Line 8:
Liable to become [[Ret Canon]] in future stage productions, if the movie version was successful.
----
{{examples}}
* "Why Am I So Romantic?" from ''Animal Crackers''.
* "Let's Go to the Movies", "We Got Annie" (based on a [[Cut Song]]), and "Sign" from the film version of ''[[Annie]]''. There's also an odd case in "Dumb Dog/Sandy", which recycled the melody of a song from composer Charles Strouse's flop ''A Broadway Musical''.
Line 20 ⟶ 21:
* "I Move On" from ''[[Chicago]]''.
* "Surprise, Surprise" and "Let Me Dance For You" from ''[[A Chorus Line]]''.
* "When My Dreams Come True" from [[The Marx Brothers|''The Cocoanuts'']] appears to be the [[Ur Example]].
* "There's Something About An Empty Chair" from ''[[Damn Yankees]]''. (Jerry Ross suffered [[Author Existence Failure]] before this song was written.)
* "Love You I Do," "Patience," "Perfect World" and "Listen" from ''[[Dreamgirls]]''.
Line 52 ⟶ 53:
* "My Baby Just Cares For Me" was one of several from ''Whoopee!''.
* "Then We Are Decided" from the 1973 film version of ''[[Jesus Christ Superstar]]''.
* 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]].''
* A few of them in the 1975 film version of ''[[Tommy]]'': "Bernie's Holiday Camp", "Extra Extra" ([[In the Style Of|set to the tune of "Miracle Cure"]]), "Champagne", "Mother and Son", and "TV Studio".
** Although not Movie Bonuses, a few new songs are included in the musical: "We've Won", "I Believe My Own Eyes", and "Sally's Question".
* The film version of [[Les Misérables (theatre)|Les Miserables]] will be doing this with a new song called "Suddenly", written by Claude-Michel Schonberg.
* "Grease", "You're the One That I Want" and "Hopelessly Devoted to You", all from ''[[Grease]]''.
