AFI's top 100 movie songs
Wheeler and I agree. Fiddler on the Roof was robbed. That scene in Rocky was ludicrous when it was released; Stallone looked as if he were practicing to stand outside of a grocery store in a turkey suit at Thanksgiving. "Staying Alive" should go away and stop parodying itself. And "As Time Goes By" (Casablanca) clearly should have been at the very top of the list.

Seriously! Especially the part about the childlike appeal of the song, and how much children just get starry-eyed when the song comes on . . .
Children hate this song! It's sooo boring at a younger age!

I agree with the Fiddler on the Roof assessment...everyone I know can at least sing Tradition, and the chorus of If I Were a Rich Man...

I did like the top three (that's all I actually saw!) - any order there would have worked for me.
That being said, I would have been happy if Casablanca had scored #1. I don't think I've ever heard so many people wax so eloquently about Over The Rainbow - made my eyes roll ;-)
