Okay I was listening to my 80s channel on tv today and for the second day in a row I heard the Prince song Bat Dance. Now this has clips from the film edited into the song as you know. The only other song that comes to mind that also has clips from the film edited into it is Bruce Springsteen's Secret Garden. Can anyone think of any other songs from a movie that have clips edited in??????
I totally am drawing a big blank on any others!

I can't think of any *EIGHTIES* tracks with dialogue samples . I think sampling was more of a 90s thing.

To expand:
Outside of the rap industry, dialogue was less likely to be sampled from a movie in a song and more likely to be included as a lyric itself (Bertie Higgins' "Key Largo", for example, uses dialogue from "Casblanca"). The sampling trend on the pop-rock front really expanded in the 90s, which is why the noted examples that come to mind are songs from 90s movies. Of course, I was only 7 years old when the 80s ended, so things were probably the same back then as well.

One that comes to mind is ‘Are You Ready For Freddy’ by The Fat Boys. Indeed.. rap.

It was nineties but "Don't want to miss a thing" by Aerosmith from the movie Armageddon had much the same thing as Secret Garden. I think they were around the same time so maybe it was a bit of a trend.

I don't remember stuff from the movie Armageddon in that song??
Locally there was a Shedaisy song "Please Come Home Soon" that had a lot of local army families that had been dubbed through the song in support of their familiy members that are over in Iraq. I think it was only done here though so no one would probablly know what I am even talking about.
I barely barely remember something from the Freddy thing.

Devolution here,
DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Fresh Prince, with "Nightmare on My Street". Taken off the air because they used lines from the movie and didn't a fake freddy voice and didn't tell anyone that they were going to.

For the New Order video for Bizarre Love Triangle, there's a sequence in there where the music stops all of a sudden, and this agitated woman tells this man in a black and white sequence that "she refuses to believe in reincarnation because she doesn't want to come back as a bug". The man deadpans his response to her and says, "you know, you're a real up person." I still don't know what that's from, if it's a movie or an advertisement. If anyone knows, tell me.

The song "One" by Metallica has clips from Johnny Get Your Gun in it, at least I htink that's the name of the movie. The one with Jason Robards...
That song was '89, wasn't it?

I don't know about that movie it doesn't ring any bells. But the song does.

Didn't one of Madonna's songs from Desperately Seeking Susan do this? I am only getting very vague now.

Pure Energy sampled Star Trek. And if you remember the Robocop song..."Robocop, dance till you drop, do the Robocop.." They sampled that guy saying "I'll buy that for a dollar." That's just two off the top of my head. I had the Flash Gordon soundtrack and it has Ming talking on it and the Hawkman dude. I think it even had Flash & Dale talking.

I'm thinking "One" was around 1986. I know it was on Metallica's "And Justice for All" album. This was the "pre-sucking" days of Metallica...

I know that several of the songs on Queen's "A Kind Of Magic" album sample dialogue from "Highlander", most especially "Gimme The Prize".

Oh, also:
Madonna's song "White Heat, which can be found on the "True Blue" album, samples dialogue from the James Cagney movie of the same name.

. I think sampling was more of a 90s thing.
