Since today is John Woo’s birthday, it only feels appropriate that today’s song of the day should come from John Powell’s score for Face/Off.

Song of the Day: The Farewell Scene by John Williams
For today’s song of the day, we have this wonderful piece of music from John Williams’s score for Oliver Stone’s Nixon.
Song of the Day: Star Trek Fight Music by Gerald Fried
There’s a lot of classic music associated with Star Trek but my favorite will always be the fight music that Gerald Fried put together for the Amok Time episode in 1967. This music went on to become the standard music that played during subsequent fight scenes during the second season of Star Trek.
Song of the Day: Atlantis by Donovan
For the most part, I didn’t care much for Borderline but I did appreciate the way the film used today’s song of the day.
(Needless to say, this song was always used to brilliant effect in Martin Scorsese’s Goodfellas.)

Song of the Day: Hanging Out With My Family by Damien Carter
Whenever I watch 2010’s Birdemic, I wonder how the birds could possibly want to destroy a civilization that is capable of something like Hanging Out With My Family.
Song of the Day: Diamonds Are Forever, performed by Shirley Bassey
Today, on Sean Connery’s birthday, our song of the day is the theme for one of my favorite Bond films. I know that some people claim that Diamonds are Forever is a lesser Bond film but personally, I think it’s just silly enough to be effective. James Bond and Las Vegas are a match made in heaven.
Song of the Day: Singin’ In The Rain, performed by Gene Kelly
Obviously, I couldn’t let Gene Kelly’s birthday without sharing a little Singin’ In The Rain.
Song of the Day: The Mosquito Coast Main Theme by Maurice Jarre

Isaac Hayes would have been 83 years old today. Today’s song of the day is an instrumental track that Hayes wrote for the Tough Guys soundtrack. Quentin Tarantino later reused the track in Kill Bill.
