I must take issue with Jeremy's definition here.


'Songs' is too narrow a term to describe those 'pieces' that might make up a soundtrack. One would not describe an orchestral 'piece' as a 'song'. Nor would one describe 'tunes' such as Gritty Shaker out of Ocean's 11 - as a 'song'. Both these 'tracks' are, however, most definitely 'soundtrack'.

I think that's just about it. Any existing music = soundtrack.


Written 'for' the film = score. An exception would be eg a song written for the film but for use during, say, the titles or credits. Score is usually written for, but also 'written to' the picture. Though I'm sure a lot of less trad composers these days just do a load of cues which the editor can mix up as they please.. especially in action flicks.

Times Square really was a humdinger - bit more info

The movie features a soundtrack of punk rock and New Wave music with a wide range of artists including The Ramones, The Cure, XTC, Lou Reed, Gary Numan, Talking Heads, Suzi Quatro, Roxy Music, Robin Gibb & Marcy Levy, Patti Smith and The Pretenders. The song "Down in the Park" is credited as being performed by Gary Numan although technically it was recorded when Numan was using the band name Tubeway Army. The Suzi Quatro track, "Rock Hard," is identified in the film as being Nicky and Pamela's favourite record.

The soundtrack also features original songs sung by the film's actors, "Damn Dog" by Johnson, "Your Daughter Is One" by Johnson and Alvarado, and "Flowers of the City" by Johnson and David Johansen. The soundtrack, as a compilation of some of the most important new wave and punk music from the era, achieved far more notoriety than the film did on its release. It also became a collectors' item among fans of XTC, because it included the specially-written XTC track "Take This Town", which for many years was only available on this soundtrack.

    • I'm not on the WhatsApp group ,and he only appears every now and again but does look like he's needs a good home and is not neutered. 
    • Why are you so rude? What has race got to do with anything? That's got nothing to do with whether or not a description is posted on here  The OP said the cyclist was being pursued by the police. If that's the case, then the police will presumably have his  description, including skin colour  If you think you encountered the same cyclist and could have been seriously hurt, then tell the police. And you have lost your bet, btw. You know nothing at all about me or my background except what I have posted on this forum,  and are making assumptions based on what appears to be a total lack of understanding of the reasons for my posts.
    • Worth posting on local street Whatsapp groups? Guessing no info from door knocking.  Those def look like unneutered Tom cat cheeks. Would be brilliant if a rescue could trap and at least neuter and return if he's a stray. Ideally find him a home - he'll settle more when neutered. Poor chap xxx    HP  
    • Whilst 'try taking off the blinkers' is a really insightful comment, could you expand a little? What do you disagree with - the £2.925 trillion, the role of the bond markets, or the demands for investment in public services?
