Stock Trailer Music: Difference between revisions

* For a while around 2005-2006, any song by The Fray ("Over My Head", "How to Save a Life") was common in trailers for dramatic shows like ''[[Grey's Anatomy]]''.

* "Firework" by [[Katy Perry]] has been used in the trailers for both ''[[Prom]]'' and ''Soul Surfer''.

** Yeah, because that's such a kids' song.

* At least three movies have used the [[David Bowie]] / [[Queen]] collaboration "Under Pressure" in their trailers -- ''[[Stepmom]]'' (in fact, it was used in that film's opening sequence too), ''The Girl Next Door'', and the ''[[Arthur (film)|Arthur]]'' remake (its trailer also used another Bowie number -- "Rebel Rebel"), so we can rest assured the protagonists are under pressure. Never mind that the pressure the song is discussing is that of dealing with a world gone mad, rather than raising stepkids or romantic travails.
