It's rare that a song is changed -- for me, personally -- by use in a movie. But there's been a couple songs that were 'brought to my attention', particularly "Miserlou" by Dick Dale, which despite my liking for guitar-driven beach music, I'd never heard before Pulp Fiction.
I hate to break it to you, oh impotent one, but you're not the big bad anymore, you're not even the kind of naughty.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"
While we're on Tarantino, I remember "Stuck in the Middle with You" from the radio when I was a kid. Needless to say, when I think of it now it conjures up RESERVOIR DOGS.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Can it be because of a vid? Because "Transparent," whose artist I have forgotten, is inextricably linked with Willow now.

Oooh, yeah. I would never have thought of it, but I don't see why vid use wouldn't count. Especially if it affects the song for you.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love
There's a brilliant Stargate: Atlantis vid to Regina Spektor's "On the Radio" that has definitely changed, or at least enhanced, the meaning of that song for me. The vid was actually done as a companion piece to a fanfic (probably one of my favorite fics ever), so hearing the song now brings up images and layers from both the vid and the story. I watch a lot of vids, but that's the one that has done the most to change how I hear that song. It's very cool.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Has this been posted? CBGB's is closing for good.
For fans of CBGB, "Here Today, Gone Tomorrow" is no longer just the title of a tune by the Ramones.
A performance by punk pioneer and CBGB alumna Patti Smith next Sunday will be the final show at the legendary lower East Side music club before the doors close for good on Oct. 31.
The club is exiting stage left after 32 years, a victim of a rent dispute with the space's landlord, the Bowery Residents' Committee, a not-for-profit homeless services agency.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
a really awful roller coaster scene in a really bad movie with Marky Mark and Reese Witherspoon (can't remember the name of it).
That would be Fear.
That album covers thing is great!

Punishingly Intricate
I have a lyrics interpretation question I wish I never had to ask. In the beginning of the Motley Crue song "Too Fast for Love", Vince Neil is yelling something that I cannot make out at all. All the lyrics sites I've found say the lyric is "Oh no, oh no" but it really is not that. It sounds something like RAGNAR! RAAAAGNAR!
but...okay, many of the Crue lyrics make very little sense but "Ragnar?"

Is he a Battlestar Galactica fan?
OK, if that's a reference to BSG it's a very odd one to make....
