21	-> ''"Well, like, the deal is when you get a game over in most games the music's, like, sad, and almost like 'Hey, sorry you lost, better luck next time!' But the ''VideoGame/MegaMan3'' game over music is all '''happy'''. Like, like the game is just being a spiteful dick!"''
22	-->-- '''Music/{{Brentalfloss}}''', intro to the CD version of ''VideoGame/MegaMan3 Game Over WithLyrics''
23
24	->The score therefore contributes to the reality of the location but also provides an unsettling contrast to the vicious characters and actions taking place in the drab, decaying surroundings. "Background for Murder," for example, is interesting in that it is built on {{source music}} and acts as a weird counterpoint rather than a commentary on what takes place on the screen. It is a device that makes the murder even more chilling. It is an unusual device in film scoring and one that [[Music/HenryMancini Mancini]] advices be used sparingly. But ''Film/TouchOfEvil'' is an unusual film. So is its music.
25	-->-- '''Tony Thomas''', from the original liner notes for the ''Film/TouchOfEvil'' soundtrack album
26
27	->See, when you come out of those up-tempo goddamn numbers, man, it’s impossible to make those transitions, and then you gotta go into somebody dying!... You know, they do this to me all the time, I don’t know what the hell they do it for, but goddammit, if we can’t come out of a slow record, I don’t understand. Is Don on the phone? OK. I want a goddamn concerted effort to come out of a record that isn’t a fuckin’ up-tempo record every time I do a goddamn ''death'' dedication... I want somebody to use his ''fuckin’'' brain to not come out of a goddamn record that is, uh, that’s up-tempo, and I gotta talk about a fuckin’ dog dying!
28	-->--'''Creator/CaseyKasem's''' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rV7WF5VVwuo infamous "Snuggles" outtake]]

51
52	->'''[[HairTriggerTemper Trevor Philips]]:''' (Gets into his truck to go pay the O'Neill Brothers a "[[RoaringRampageOfRevenge visit]]" as he turns on the radio, only to hear "[[Music/TheDoobieBrothers What A Fool Believes]]" playing) ''Uuuuuugh'', this music's all fucking wrong! (Changes channel to a more aggressive heavy rock song) That's what I'm lookin' for!
53	-->--''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoV''
54
55	[[AC:Web Original]]
56
57	->[N]othing says exploration and adventure like elevator rock. Later when they realized everyone hated it, they tried to fix it by speeding up the tempo. Like setting a Music/MichaelBolton song to a Bossanova beat cranked out of a Casio, this made something bad even worse.
58	-->--'''[[http://www.giantfreakinrobot.com/scifi/enterprise-failed-star-trek.html Josh Tyler]]''' on the ThemeTune of ''Series/StarTrekEnterprise''
59
60	->'''Chris''': “Nails, get the riot guns from the guards! Bill, you flip over the mattresses and barricade the doors! Hammer, you find us a CD player so we can rock out to [[ProductPlacement this week’s hottest Warner Bros. Records recording artists]]!”\

62	-->--Chris Sims and David Uzumeri, [[http://comicsalliance.com/recap-smallville-4-6-transference/ on]] ''{{Series/Smallville}}'' ("Transference")
63
64	->Basically the score sounds like an eighties disco, throughout which we are watching kids being hunted, old women going mad with carving knives, men being possessed -- It's extremely disconcerting (and not in a good way) to watch potentially horrific acts underscored by an eighties disco beat. What’s worse, the more you listen to it, [[EarWorm it becomes eminently hummable.]]
65	-->--'''[[http://docohobigfinish.blogspot.co.uk/2014/01/paradise-towers-written-by-stephen_10.html Joe Ford]]''' on ''Series/DoctorWho'', [[{{Recap/DoctorWhoS24E2ParadiseTowers}} "Paradise Towers"]]
66
67	->In the morning we have a physical fitness and truck driving montage to Music/KennyLoggins’ repugnant hit “Meet Me Halfway.” This song was obviously commissioned specifically for the film, as a repeated life lesson here is “Life doesn’t meet anyone halfway.” [We are meant not to reflect on the mixed message that life DOESN’T meet anyone halfway, whereas in the song you SHOULD meet Kenny Loggins halfway].
68	-->-- '''[[http://cinemademerde.com/Over_The_Top.shtml Cinema de Merde's]]''' review of ''Film/OverTheTop''
69
70	->I suppose if [[Creator/QuentinTarantino Tarantino]] did it, people would laud the ironic juxtaposition, but this is Creator/ColemanFrancis. Anything that appears to be a glimmer of brilliance [[HanlonsRazor is always pure happenstance]].
71	-->-- '''Website/TheAgonyBooth''', ''[[http://agonybooth.com/recaps/The_Skydivers.aspx recap]]'' of ''Film/TheSkydivers''

84
85	->Don't expect to hear the familiar dark, mischievous Music/DannyElfman theme, no. In the tradition of all [[Creator/LJNToys LJN]] games, they give you something original.\
86	''(jaunty theme tune plays)''\
87	...What kinda horseshit is this.
88	-->--'''WebVideo/TheAngryVideoGameNerd''' on ''{{Film/Beetlejuice}}'' for Platform/{{NES}}
89
90	->''"I've never seen a song so poorly matched up. You got monsters with weapons for hands, a young woman fleeing with fear, chasing into a creepy forest and a chicken who's a fucking AX! Are those really the images that come to your mind when you hear this song? If so, then you're fucked!"''
91	-->-- '''WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic''' on the use of "[[AwardBaitSong The Prayer]]" in ''WesternAnimation/QuestForCamelot''

97	-->--'''The Major''', ''WebVideo/HellsingUltimateAbridged'', having chosen Music/EdwinStarr's "War" to play while [[ThoseWackyNazis Millennium]] annihilates London
98
99	->Now before we look at any Madacy stuff, sans commentary, I absolutely have to note [[{{Narm}} their 1993 opening logo]]. Never in my life have I ever seen such a schizophrenic logo. They just can't seem to figure out if they wanna present themselves as serious and stately or if they're trying to amp you up for a {{hair metal}} concert.
100	-->--'''[[WebVideo/OddityArchive Ben Minnotte]]''', ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UaQ3bEG_IOs Public Domain VHS Distributors (An Incomplete Overview)]]''

103	-->--'''WebVideo/TheMysteriousMrEnter''' on the [[Manga/RurouniKenshin "Freckles" theme]], ''Top 20 Worst Cartoon Themes''
104
105	->Something that's just registered in my mind - the entirely inappropriate music. Right, I'm not gonna play this properly; I'm just gonna have a go at the music, I think. Let's have a... is this what I think it is? [sings ([[BeamMeUpScotty incorrect]]) lyrics to "[[Music/FrankieValliAndTheFourSeasons Can't Take My Eyes Off You]]"] It is! Wh-why is that featuring in the background for an action game? What's it got to do with ''VideoGame/CounterStrike''? You can put any music you want in, lads. You don't worry about things like licensing, do ya?
106	-->-- '''WebVideo/StuartAshen''', ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9R1DoxviIKY PCP Station Review: LTPS Handy Game (Fake PSP Go)]]''

109	-->--'''Diva''' on '''The Ten Commandments: The Musical''', ''WebVideo/MusicalHell''
110
111	->This is probably what Music/ClaudeDebussy was thinking while writing Clair de Lune.
112
113	->[[{{Kaiju}} Some cool monsters]].
114	-->--'''Vicente Ortega Rubilar's''' Website/YouTube comment on ''Film/GodzillaKingOfTheMonsters2019'' [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVDtmouV9kM trailer]]

117	-->--'''WebVideo/{{Bobsheaux}}''' on the opening of ''WesternAnimation/MiracleInToyland''

119	->This isn't a "game over" song! This is a song that plays when Mr. Silly goes over to the Silly Shop in order to get himself a new silly hat, but on his way there, he slips on a silly looking banana and then hurts his silly little bottom, and everyone there around him's just like, "Oh, better luck next time, Mr. Silly, you silly, silly sausage!"

124
125	->''"Honestly, I don't even know what to say about the music anymore. Was the guy who did the soundtrack for this thing trying to get fired or something? Who the hell sees dinosaurs fighting in an exploding volcano and thinks 'romantic ballad'?"''
126	-->-- '''[[WebVideo/BrandonsCultMovieReviews Brandon]]''' on ''Film/LegendOfDinosaursAndMonsterBirds''
