Oldie, hasn't been written for the movie specifically, but plays a vital part in Friends with Benefits :-)

Ooooo heck yeah! I love this song.

I used to work at TGI Fridays (a franchise restaurant in the states) and this always ended up on the jukebox at closing time. I feel like that song was likely playing all across America as restaurants came to a close, haha.

I have not seen the movie though. Cool to hear that this plays such a special part in it!

Wow, nice to hear it played a role in your story too! There are TGI Fridays in Stockholm too, so I guess they are doing quite well :-)

The movie is a romcom with Justin Timberlake and Mila Kunis and you can pretty much guess the plot by the name :-P I like it, but it's somewhat silly and might not be everyone's taste :-)

Haha, that's cool to hear that TGI Fridays is over there. Had no idea!

And haha, no judgement from me on Friends with Benefits... a good, silly romcom sounds like a fun time. 🙌

LOL I used to work at a coffee shop and we did this same thing to try and subtly tell folks it was time to leave at the end of the day

I really like how Season 4 of Stranger Things made "Running Up That Hill" such an integral part of the story... not to mention, it brought Kate Bush back into vogue which is always a good thing.

And the awesomely strange original music video:

Not to mention, Big Boi from Outkast gushing over Kate Bush and "Running Up That Hill":

Oooo yeah, good list here! The Conan soundtrack is so bombastic and badass... I never would've thought to listen to this one, but now that I am, I'm really digging it. 🙌

Oooo yeah, video game soundtracks are a cool place to take this prompt.

I really really dig the Stardew Valley Soundtrack. "Cloud Country" is so peaceful & chill.

On that note, I always enjoyed the Minecraft soundtrack... so ethereal and minimalistic.

I'm gonna tune into Hellblade in a little bit!
