Titolo: canzoni espressamente dedicate al cinema

Oggi riascoltavo la bellissima canzone "La Derniere Seance"
interpretata dall'ottimo Eddie Mitchell.
(chi fosse interessato la puo' ascoltare a questo indirizzo)
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x40r0k_le-derniere-seance_music
e mi e' venuto in mente che, cosi' a memoria, non mi vengono
in mente altre canzoni *espressamente* dedicate al cinema.
Qualcuno ne ricorda?
Riporto il testo della canzone dopo la firma per chi fosse
interessato. Anche se e' in francese si capiscicchia.

Eddy Mitchell - La Derniere Seance
La lumiere revient deja
Et le film est termine
Je reveille mon voisin
Il dort comme un nouveau ne
Je releve mon strapontin
J'ai une envie de bailler
C'etait la derniere sequence
C'etait la derniere seance
Et le rideau sur l'ecran est tombe
La photo sur le mot fin
Peut faire sourire ou pleurer
Mais je connais le destin
D'un cinema de quartier
Il finira en garage
En building supermarche
Il n'a plus aucune chance
C'etait sa derniere seance
Et le rideau sur l'ecran est tombe
Bye bye, les heros que j'aimais
L'entracte est termine
Bye bye, rendez-vous a jamais
Mes chocolats glaces
Glaces
J'allais rue des solitaires
A l'ecole de mon quartier
A cinq heures, j'etais sorti
Mon pere venait me chercher
On voyait Gary Cooper
Qui defendait l'opprime
C'etait vraiment bien l'enfance
Mais c'est la derniere sequence
Et le rideau sur l'ecran est tombe
Bye bye, les filles qui tremblaient
Pour les jeunes premiers
Bye bye, rendez-vous a jamais
Mes chocolats glaces
Glaces
La lumiere s'eteint deja
La salle est vide a pleurer
Mon voisin detend ses bras
Et s'en va boire un cafe
Un vieux pleure dans un coin
Son cinema est ferme
C'etait sa derniere sequence
C'etait sa derniere seance
Et le rideau sur l'ecran est tombe.

La prima che mi viene in mente:
Okkeriv River - "Our life is not a movie or maybe"
http://it.youtube.com/watch?v=ROlCPlnCIfo
It's just a bad movie, where there's no crying
handing the keys to me in this Red Lion,
where the lock that you locked in the suite says there's no prying.
When the breath that you breathed in the street screams there's no science.
When you look how you looked then to me, then I cease lying and fall into 
silence.
It's just a life story, so there's no climax.
No more new territory, so pull away the imax.
In the slot that you sliced through the scene there was no shyness.
In the plot that you passed through your teeth there was no pity.
No fade in: film begins on a kid in the big city.
And no cut to a costly parade (that's for him only!).
No dissolve to a sliver of grey (that's his new lady!)
where she glows just like grain on the flickering pane of some great movie. 
(Hey, I don't watch it!)
It's just a house burning, but it's not haunted.
It was your heart hurting, but not for too long, kid.
In the socket you spin from with ease there is no sticking.
From the speakers your fake masterpiece comes serenely dribbling.
When the air around your chair fills with heat, that's the flames licking
beneath the clock on the clean mantelpiece. It's got a calm clicking,
like a pro at his editing suite takes two weeks stitching up some bad movie.

 Qualcuno ne ricorda?
nell'hip hop italiano undeground ci sono miriadi di citazioni, soprattutto
horror.
due esempi su tutti:
profondo rosso (è il nome del gruppo)
truce boys dei primi tempi

Qualcuno ne ricorda?
Beh, direi che "Science Fiction - Double Feature" del RHPS rientra in
questa categoria:
Michael Rennie was ill the day the earth stood still
But he told us where we stand
And Flash Gordon was there in silver underwear
Claude Raines was the invisible man
Then something went wrong for Fay Wray and King Kong
They got caught in a celluloid jam
Then at a deadly pace it came from outer space
And this is how the message ran:
Science Fiction - Double Feature
Dr. X will build a creature
See androids fighting Brad and Janet
Ann Francis stars in Forbidden Planet
Oh-oh at the late night, double feature, picture show.
I knew Leo G. Carroll was over a barrel
When Tarantula took to the hills
And I really got hot when I saw Janet Scott
Fight a Triffid that spits poison and kills
Dana Andrews said prunes gave him the runes
And passing them used lots of skills
But when worlds collide, said George Pal to his bride
I'm gonna give you some terrible thrills, like a:
Science Fiction - Double Feature
Dr. X will build a creature
See androids fighting Brad and Janet
Ann Francis stars in Forbidden Planet
Oh-oh at the late night, double feature, picture show.
I wanna go, oh-oh, to the late night double feature picture show.
By RKO, oh-oh, at the late night double feature picture show.
In the back row at the late night double feature picture show.
 
Ciao

"Year ot he Cat" (Al Stewart), ispirata a "Casablanca":
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIuTr8hodJ0
Fra parentesi, e' uscito da pochissimi giorni il nuovo album di Al,
"Sparks of Ancient Light", ed e' IMHO meraviglioso...
Year of the Cat
Al Stewart & Peter Wood
On a morning from a Bogart movie
In a country where they turn back time
You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Lorre
Contemplating a crime
She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running
Like a watercolour in the rain
Don't bother asking for explanations
She'll just tell you that she came
In the year of the cat
She doesn't give you time for questions
As she locks up your arm in hers
And you follow 'till your sense of which direction
Completely disappears
By the blue tiled walls near the market stalls
There's a hidden door she leads you to
These days, she says, I feel my life
Just like a river running through
The year of the cat
Well, she looks at you so cooly
And her eyes shine like the moon in the sea
She comes in incense and patchouli
So you take her, to find what's waiting inside
The year of the cat
Well, morning comes and you're still with her
And the bus and the tourists are gone
And you've thrown away the choice and lost your ticket
So you have to stay on
But the drum-beat strains of the night remain
In the rhythm of the new-born day
You know sometime you're bound to leave her
But for now you're going to stay
In the year of the cat

Lucio Battisti, Al cinema.
Non parliamo più a parlar non serve un granché
mangiale anche tu le castagne arrosto con me.
Hai ragione sai io non sarò mai come vuoi,
guarda c'è un bel film se facciamo in tempo ci andrei.
Dustin Hoffman, Al Pacino, la Dunaway, entriamo c'è anche lei,
c'è posto siedi, io resto in piedi!
Guarda lei, è proprio come ti vorrei,
guarda lei, lo ama e non si lamenta mai,
in fondo lui assomiglia a me.
Perché non mi capisci dimmelo perché.
Guarda lei. Guarda là.
Cosa c'entra se lui la sta portando in Rolls Royce,
sta tranquilla che verrebbe anche sulla mini con me.
Non vedi che per amore lei sta diventando assassina?
La donna la vera donna è quella che resta vicina
E invece tu, e invece tu, e invece tu, beh non ne parliamo più!
Vuoi il gelato! È aumentato!
Guarda lei, è proprio come ti vorrei,
guarda lei, lo ama e non si lamenta mai,
in fondo lui assomiglia a me.
Perché non mi capisci dimmelo perché.
Guarda lei. Guarda là.
Che cosa dici se questa sera pranziamo fuori?
Potremmo andare poi per cambiare anche a ballare.

> Qualcuno ne ricorda?
C'era quella canzone anni '30 ripresa qualche anno fa da Monica Vitti:
"Cinemà, frenetica passion
cinemà, tormento e seduzion
c'è mia moglie che non ha più fren
e cammina come la Marlene,
Il mio Bob si crede un Valentin
mia sorella Joséfine
e mia figlia tanto per cambiar
sta tutto il giorno a gretagarbeggiar..."

Se si parla di musica & horror non si possono non citare i Misfits e i 
Cramps.

Qualcuno ne ricorda?
Sergio Leone (Jackson Browne, album "The Naked Ride Home, 2002")
He came 'round here with his camera and some of his American friends
Where the money is immortal and the killing never ends
He set out from CinecittÂ  through the ruined streets of Rome
To shoot in Almeria and bring the bodies home
He said
I'll be rich or I'll be dead
I've got it all here in my head
He could see the killers' faces and he heard the song they sang
Where he waited in the darkness with the Viale Glorioso gang
He could see the blood approaching and he knew what he would be
Since the days when he was first assisting The Force of Destiny
He worked for Walsh and Wyler with the chariot and sword
When he rode out in the desert he was quoting Hawks and Ford
He came to see the masters and he left with what he saw
What he stole from Kurosawa he bequeathed to Peckinpah
From the Via Tuscolana to the view from Miller Drive
He shot the eyes of bad men and kept their deaths alive
With the darkness and the anguish of a Goya or Van Cleef
He rescued truth from beauty and meaning from belief
