Stuff the AV Club missed on their "Songs Owned by Movie Scenes" list

The Onion's AV Club recently compiled a list of the 15 Songs Owned By Movie Scenes which details moments in cinema where a previously recorded song becomes so enmeshed with the movie scene it is in that it almost ceases to exist as an independent entity so whenever you hear that song, you will think of that movie and that scene.

While it is a pretty good list, I felt they forgot a few great or notable song/scene matches.

Just Dropped In (to See What Condition my Condition Was In by Kenny Rogers and the First Edition from The Big Lebowski: This song, which I've heard in a few other places will always be attached to this movie. It is the centerpiece of a lavish dream sequence of The Dude, one featuring Saddam Hussein, Julianne Moore dressed as a valkyrie and a great bowling motif and it was a scene so attached to the film that a still from it was used for the cover of the soundtrack album but in much of the promotional material as well. It truly taps into the alchemy of song and scene fusion. Watch the Clip.

Nobody But Me by the Human Beinz in Kill Bill Vol. 1: When I first saw the movie, I thought this was the weirdest musical cue. I mean, how could this bouncy upbeat song fit in the middle of a scene where The Bride is surrounded by members of the Crazy 88... and then that moment of cinematic magic happened and it fit perfectly. A song about how no one can dance as well as you can while in the middle of a highly choreographed and bloody one-against-many battle... the two are fused in my mind now. Watch it in this clip, beginning at 4:12.

Everybody Wants Some by Van Halen in Better Off Dead: This scene is the meeting of live action, claymation and a great and highly appropriate song. John Cusack's Lane Meyer is toiling away at a fast food restaurant Pig Burger when he starts to daydream he is Dr. Frankenstein and his monster is a singing burger... suffice it to say, it does not end well for Lane Meyer.

Damn it Feels Good to be a Gangsta by the Geto Boys from Office Space: The iconic scene from the movie. A fax/copier, three disgruntled employees and their revenge on the hated machine in a field, mob style. It is the perfect juxtaposition of Watch the Clip

Superstar by The Carpenters in Tommy Boy: It isn't a great movie, but it was a great use of this piece of music, a tacky middle ground between two characters that have very little in common in this buddy comedy. It is one of the more memorable scenes in the movie. Watch the Clip

Golden Years by David Bowie in A Knight's Tale: A Knight's Tale revelled in the loving use of rock music from almost the first frame, but one particular usage has always stood out in my mind. During a party scene, commoner William Thatcher who is passing himself off as Sir Ulric von Liectenstein from Geldreland is asked to show his fellow partygoers a dance from his native land and as he demonstrates, music begins playing with a recognizable tune. And here is what I like about the use of this music: it doesn't start out as Bowie's song. It begins as a more medieval instrumentation of the melody it slowly evolves from those roots, along with the dance as it proceeds until you end up with disco dancing and the real song. It just comes together so well. Watch the Clip

Do this make the list definitive? Absolutely not... and I am curious to hear what song/scenes you always associate together now, because I know I missed a lot of good choices.

So what did both me and the AV club miss?
