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.

    • Just because the security did not chase the shoplifter does not mean no action was taken. Security camera footage can be sent to the police and used in evidence and actually is an effective means of prosecution.  Staff should not put themselves in a potentially dangerous position - stock is insured and can be replaced.  I remember a member of Coop staff chasing a thief and getting hurt     
    • Maybe I’ve got this wrong but didn’t the metropolitan police have a £200 minimum for investigating shoplifting  because of their other priorities.  
    • Absolutely don't post on the forum. By all means provide evidence to the police or shop security. 
    • Did you think about taking a photo on your phone and giving it to Co-op management ? Better still post here on the forum. If we see it an do nothing then the problem will only get worse and prices will hve to rise to cover the cost of this crime.
