She Drinks The Zombie From The Cocoa Shell

By Marty Schwimmer on July 26, 2006

Did the song “Cousin Dupree” inspire the movie “You, Me and Dupree”? Steely Dan thinks so.
Today’s trivia question: name song titles subsequently used as movie titles. Should we include bio-pics (Coal Miner’s Daughter, Walk The Line)? Movies inspired by songs (Ode to Billy Joe)?
We’ll go first:
Peggy Sue Got Married
UPDATE:
The answers pour in:
BioPics:
Sweet Dreams
Great Balls of Fire
Round Midnight
La Bamba
What’s Love Got To With It
(the thought occurs – someone like Scorcese or Paul Thomas Anderson whould do a BioPic of Ornette Coleman)
Somehow based on the song:
Rock n’ Roll High School
Nine To Five
Not Related to the song:
Stand By Me
Pretty In Pink
Sixteen Candles
Helter Skelter
Amazing Grace
Dazed and Confused
Beatles movies
Hard Day’s Night
Help
Yellow Submarine
Sgt Pepper (eech)
Concert films have been disqualified from the list.
