Includes bibliographical references and filmography."Quick: What movie do you think of when you hear “The Sounds of Silence”? Better yet, what song comes to mind when you think of The Graduate? The link between film and song endures as more than a memory, Nate Patrin suggests with this wide-ranging and energetic book. It is, in fact, a sort of cultural symbiosis that has mutually influenced movies and pop music, a phenomenon Patrin tracks through the past fifty years, revealing the power of music in movies to move the needle in popular culture. Examining pairings such as American Graffiti and “Do You Want to Dance?”, Saturday Night Fever and “Disco Inferno”, Apocalypse Now and “The End”, Wayne’s World and “Bohemian Rhapsody”, and Jackie Brown and “Didn't I Blow Your Mind This Time?”, Patrin shows how music deployed in movies emerged as a form of interpretive commentary that made way for the legitimization of pop and rock music as art forms worthy of serious consideration. As he surveys the ene across the decades, expanding into the deeper origins, wider connections, and echoed histories that come into play, , The Needle and the Lens offers a new way of seeing, and hearing, these iconic soundtrack moments."-- Page 4 of cover.Introduction -- Scorpio Rising, "He's a Rebel" -- The Graduate, "The Sounds of Silence" -- Easy Rider, "The Pusher" -- The Harder They Come, "Many Rivers to Cross" -- American Graffiti, "Do You Want to Dance" -- Saturday Night Fever, "Disco Inferno" -- Killer of Sheep, "This Bitter Earth" -- Apocalypse Now, "The End" -- Repo Man, "When the Shit Hits the Fan" -- Krush Groove, "King of Rock" -- Blue Velvet, "In Dreams" -- Wayne's World, "Bohemian Rhapsody" -- Jackie Brown, "Didn't I (Blow Your Mind This Time)" -- Belly, "Back to Life (However Do You Want Me)" -- The Royal Tenenbaums, "Needle in the Hay" -- Drive, "A Real Hero" -- Outro: Twenty-Four More Great Needle Drops
