    There are two songs that I will verbally abuse a movie for having on its soundtrack.

    “What A Wonderful World” by Louis Armstrong, and “Fly Me To The Moon” by Frank Sinatra.

    If you put those songs in…anything, you’re a fucking hack.

    WAWW has been used both straight and ironically TO DEATH. It has been played over beautiful and horrific scenes. There’s nothing you can use it to say that hasn’t already been said by someone more clever than you.

    FMTTM is the song completely uncreative people put in movies that have something to do with the moon. “We have an establishing shot of the moon and we need some licensed music for the soundtrack. Gee, now what’s the hackiest laziest most cliched pissbabyest lack of a brain stemiest thing we could put here?” “You’re not going to believe this, but I found a Sinatra song that might just be a lazy enough choice. It’s already been used in all the other movies, is that lazy enough?”
