Day 21: A song from the soundtrack a scary movie

You guys killed it with scary songs. the Omen, Jaws, Halloween and some of the great songs from scary movies.

But I’ll stick to the worst scary movie.

Fountains of Wayne - Too Cool For School

Day 22: A song that uses a sample

Okay, so this song has tons of sampling, but it is just the example I wanted to point out to talk about the most used sample of all time. The Amen Break. It's 7 seconds that changed music history.

The Amen Break is a drum sample from the song "Amen, Brother" by the Winstons. It's first credited use was on I Desire by Salt N Pepa in 1986, but I am sure DJs were throwing it around before then.

I'm not going to ramble forever, but if you ever need a late night research project, you should look into the history of the Amen break.
I think the worst part is that the drummer that created it passed away broke and homeless, without knowing the history he had created.

Double Dare- Aukina

All killa

I searched for the original video for this song and I wasnt in a rush to post it because I thought this wouldn't be a movie people associated with this category. It took me til now to recover from not posting it.

Day 21: A song from a scary movie

My first thought was taken as were the most recognizable songs from the 2 best scary movies (The Exorcist and Halloween). So I have to go a little deeper than planned but sticking to the classics:

Jamie Lee starred in soooo many horror flicks when she was young. Love her!

Blue Oyster Cult - Don't Fear the Reaper
