Listening to this makes me even more determined to write-in Chuck Norris’s name when I vote in November. Go get ’em, Chuck!

Song of the Day: I’m Shipping Up To Boston by The Dropkick Murphys

Posted on March 9, 2026 by Lisa Marie Bowman

I shared a screenshot from The Departed for today’s 4 Shots From 4 Films and now I’ve got this song stuck in my head. And now, it’ll be stuck in your head too! Even if this song hadn’t been used in The Departed, just the sound of it brings to mind low-level gangsters making big mistakes and causing a lot of damage. There are some songs that are just fight songs and this is one of them.

He lost his leg, y’know.

St. Patrick’s Day is right around the corner!

Song of the Day: Time by Hans Zimmer

Posted on March 8, 2026 by Lisa Marie Bowman

Today’s song of the day is a reminder to set your clocks if you haven’t done so already. We lost an hour this weekend and who knows if we’ll ever get it back.

Here is Hans Zimmer’s beautiful Time, from the Inception soundtrack.

Song of the Day: East Bound and Down by Jerry Reed

Posted on March 6, 2026 by Lisa Marie Bowman

Hey, it’s Hal Needham’s birthday. What other song could we go with?

East bound and down, loaded up and truckin’
A-we gonna do what they say can’t be done
We’ve got a long way to go, and a short time to get there
I’m east bound, just watch ol’ “Bandit” run

Keep your foot hard on the pedal
Son, never mind them brakes
Let it all hang out ’cause we got a run to make
The boys are thirsty in Atlanta
And there’s beer in Texarkana
And we’ll bring it back no matter what it takes

Ol’ Smokey’s got them ears on
He’s hot on your trail
And he aint gonna rest ’til you’re in jail
So you got to dodge ‘im and you got to duck ‘im
You got to keep that diesel truckin’
Just put that hammer down and give it hell

Writer(s): Jerry Hubbard Reed, Dick Feller

Song of the Day: Flashdance (What a Feeling) by Irene Cara

Since today is Adrian Lyne’s birthday, it only seems appropriate that today’s song of the day should come from his best film.

Song of the Day: The Day Is My Enemy by The Prodigy

Posted on March 3, 2026 by Lisa Marie Bowman

Just as I did last year on this date, I’m picking today’s song of the day as much for the video as the song. By combining one of The Prodigy’s best songs with scenes from George Miller’s best film, whoever put this video together did a wonderful job!

Song of the Day: Reach Out (I’ll Be There) by The Four Tops

Posted on March 2, 2026 by Lisa Marie Bowman

A friend of mine recently watched Cooley High for the first time. We both agreed that the film ends on two powerful musical notes, first with It’s So Hard To Say Goodbye playing over the scenes of Cochise’s funeral and then with today’s song of the day playing over the scenes of Preach literally running towards his future.

Here is Reach Out (I’ll Be There) by The Four Tops.

Song of the Day: The Love Boat, performed by Jack Jones

Today would have been Gavin MacLeod’s birthday. Today’s song of the day just feels appropriate.

In honor of Captain Stubing, let’s set sail for adventure….

Song of the Day: The Fool On The Hill, performed by Joe Pesci

Posted on February 27, 2026 by Lisa Marie Bowman

It’s often forgotten that, before he became an award-winning actor, Joe Pesci pursued careers as both a stand-up comedian and a singer. Here he is, performing a lounge version of The Beatles’ Fool On The Hill for his 1968 album, Little Joe Sure Can Sing!
