Hurdy Gurdy Man
Donovan wrote `` Hurdy Gurdy Man '' while in Rishikesh in India , where he was studying Transcendental Meditation with the Beatles . The recording features a harder rock sound than Donovan 's usual material , supplying a range of distorted guitars and aggressive drums . It also features an Indian influence with the use of a tambura , a gift to Donovan from George Harrison , who also helped write the lyrics . The song may have been influenced by `` Green Circles '' , a psychedelic 1967 UK single by Small Faces . The similarity is in the melody of the descending verse , the strange vocal delivery , and the topic of being visited by an enlightened stranger . In 2012 , Donovan revealed that he 'd become friends with Small Faces in 1965 .
Waltzing Matilda
The song is featured in the American films The Desert Rats ( 1953 ) and On the Beach ( 1959 ) , the latter directed by Stanley Kramer and based on the novel by Nevil Shute . The chorus is heard during the end credits of The Man from Snowy River ( 1982 ) ( the poem was also written by Banjo Patterson ) . The beginning of the song was sung during the beginning of Monty Python 's 1970 Bruces sketch .
Melanie (singer)
In 1983 , Melanie wrote the music and lyrics for a theatrical musical , Ace of Diamonds , with a book by Ed Kelleher and Seymour Vall , based on a series of letters written by Annie Oakley . Though never fully produced , several staged readings were performed at Lincoln Center starring Melanie as the narrator and pop singer and actress Annie Golden as Oakley .
Where Are Ü Now
`` Where Are Ü Now '' was written by Sonny `` Skrillex '' Moore and Thomas Wesley `` Diplo '' Pentz , Nick Kibler , Jason `` Poo Bear '' Boyd , Karl Rubin Brutus , and Jordan Ware , and produced by Skrillex and Diplo . The song was composed in G major with a moderately slow tempo of 69 beats per minute and a time signature of . Bieber 's vocal range spans from the low note of E4 to the high note of B5 . Its instrumentation consists in `` fluterring synths '' , skipping tropical house beats and acres of space , as well as sharp dancehall stabs and an Eastern melody . It features a prominent sound effect that Skrillex has termed `` The Dolphin '' : a chunk of Justin Bieber 's vocals that has been worked over and processed into oblivion , turning into a high - pitched squealing sound during the drop . The New York Times released a video showing how the song was assembled using Ableton Live . As Pareles explained , `` The song opens hushed and hovering , with a stereo panning whoosh , four somber piano chords and Bieber 's electronically stuttered voice , leading into a mournful verse about a friend or lover he helped , who has now abandoned him . Eventually a dance beat kicks in and a mysterious , flutelike squiggle -- ( which ) Skrillex calls it the ' dolphin ' -- announces itself again and again as the vocals all but disappear , ( with ) just the occasional refrain , ' Where are you now that I need you ? . ' '' He continued : `` Halfway through , the track pauses , then offers another hymnlike verse ; the dance beat returns , a little pushier with electronic handclaps , and the refrain and ' dolphin ' carry the song to the end , with a final , echoing ' I need you the most . ' ''
Leavin' on Your Mind
`` Leavin ' on Your Mind '' is a famous Country / Pop song written by Wayne Walker and Webb Pierce was popularized by Joyce Smith in 1962 .
Only Fools and Horses
Only Fools and Horses has separate theme songs for the opening and closing credits , `` Only Fools and Horses '' and `` Hooky Street '' , respectively . The original theme tune was produced by Ronnie Hazlehurst and recorded on 6 August 1981 at Lime Grove Studios . Alf Bigden , Paul Westwood , Don Hunt , John Dean , Judd Proctor , Eddie Mordue , and Rex Morris were hired to play the music . The tune was changed after the first series , and the new one was written by John Sullivan ( he disliked the tune for the first series , and his new one explained the show 's title ) , and Hazlehurst conducted it . It was recorded at Lime Grove on 11 May 1982 , with musicians John Horler , Dave Richmond , Bigden , and Proctor . Sullivan wanted the band Chas & Dave singing , but this was not possible due to their single Ai n't No Pleasing You being successful in the charts . Sullivan had intended for Chas & Dave to sing it because they had enjoyed success with the `` Rockney '' style , a mixture of rock n ' roll and traditional Cockney music . Sullivan was persuaded to do it himself by Ray Butt . Despite the creation of a new theme tune , the original one remained in occasional use . Chas & Dave did later contribute to the show , performing the closing credits song for the 1989 episode `` The Jolly Boys ' Outing '' . Both songs are performed by Sullivan himself , and not -- as is sometimes thought -- by Nicholas Lyndhurst .
Singin' in the Rain
Singin ' in the Rain was originally conceived by MGM producer Arthur Freed , the head of the `` Freed Unit '' responsible for turning out MGM 's lavish musicals , as a vehicle for his catalog of songs written with Nacio Herb Brown for previous MGM musical films of the 1929 -- 39 period . Screenwriters Betty Comden and Adolph Green wrote two entirely new songs , `` Make ' Em Laugh '' and `` Moses Supposes '' , the latter with music director Roger Edens providing the music . ( see below ) .
Gilligan's Island
The pilot 's opening and ending songs were two similar Calypso - styled tracks written by John Williams and performed by Sherwood Schwartz impersonating singer Sir Lancelot . The lyrics of both were quite different from those of the TV series and the pilot 's opening theme song was longer . The short scenes during this initial music include Gilligan taking the Howells ' luggage to the boat before cast - off and Gilligan attempting to give a cup of coffee to the Skipper during the storm that would ultimately maroon the boat .
While My Guitar Gently Weeps
Harrison wrote `` While My Guitar Gently Weeps '' as an exercise in randomness inspired by the Chinese I Ching . The song conveys his dismay at the world 's unrealised potential for universal love , which he refers to as `` the love there that 's sleeping '' . Harrison first recorded it with a sparse backing of acoustic guitar and harmonium -- a version that appeared on the 1996 Anthology 3 outtakes compilation and , with the addition of a string arrangement by George Martin , on the Love soundtrack album in 2006 . The full group recording was made in September 1968 , at which point the song 's folk - based musical arrangement was replaced by a production in the heavy rock style . The recording was one of several collaborations between Harrison and Clapton during the late 1960s and was followed by the pair co-writing the song `` Badge '' for Clapton 's group Cream .
The Way It Is (song)
`` The Way It Is '' is a song by American rock group Bruce Hornsby and the Range . It was released in August 1986 as the second single from their debut album The Way It Is . It topped the charts in the United States , Canada and the Netherlands in 1986 , and peaked inside the top twenty in such countries as Ireland , Switzerland and the United Kingdom . Written by Bruce Hornsby , it made explicit reference to the Civil Rights Movement . Musically , the song is characterized by two long piano solos .
Smokey and the Bandit
The film 's theme song , `` East Bound and Down '' , was written virtually overnight by Jerry Reed . He gave Needham a preview of the song , and when initially he got no reaction from the director , offered to rewrite the song . Needham , however , liked the song so much he assured Jerry not to change a word . It became one of Reed 's biggest hits and his signature number .
It Ain't Me
The lyrics of `` It Ai n't Me '' were written by Andrew Watt , Brian Lee and Ali Tamposi . With Watt previously working with Kygo , the DJ 's manager Myles Shear contacted Watt for a session with Kygo which Watt also facilitated for Lee and Tamposi . During their session for `` It Ai n't Me '' , they initially found the track very poor , but were trying to salvage it . Kygo and Shear suggested that they continue working on the song . After Kygo and Shear had left , Tamposi told Watt and Lee to play guitar and `` Fleetwood Mac it '' , spawning a 45 - minute jam session as well as the demo of `` It Ai n't Me '' , a simple acoustic guitar recording with Tamposi on vocals .
The House of the Rising Sun
In September 1981 , Dolly Parton released a cover of the song as the third single from her album 9 to 5 and Odd Jobs . Like Miller 's earlier country hit , Parton 's remake returns the song to its original lyric of being about a fallen woman . The Parton version makes it quite blunt , with a few new lyric lines that were written by Parton . Parton 's remake reached number 14 on the U.S. country singles chart and crossed over to the pop charts , where it reached number 77 on the Billboard Hot 100 ; it also reached number 30 on the U.S. adult contemporary chart . Parton has occasionally performed the song live , perhaps most notably on her 1987 -- 88 television show , in an episode taped live in New Orleans .
Hurdy Gurdy Man
There is some dispute over the musicians who performed on the song . In the booklet that came with Donovan 's 1992 double CD , Troubadour : The Definitive Collection 1964 -- 1976 , Allan Holdsworth and Jimmy Page are listed as the electric guitar players and John Bonham and Clem Cattini ( spelled as `` Clem Clatini '' ) as drummers on the recording . John Paul Jones , who arranged and played bass on the track ( and also booked the session musicians ) , was reported to have said by email that Clem Cattini played the drums and Alan Parker played the electric guitar . This line - up was confirmed by Cattini . In Donovan 's autobiography , he credits Cattini ( spelled as `` Catini '' ) and Bonham for the drums . In a published interview circa 2013 , Donovan is quoted as primarily crediting Cattini for the drums but saying he was n't sure whether Bonham was also involved , and said he and Jones both credit Holdsworth for the guitar .
I Want to Hold Your Hand
Reminiscent of Tin Pan Alley and Brill Building techniques and an example of modified 32 - bar form , the song is written on a two - bridge model , with only an intervening verse to connect them . The song has no real `` lead '' singer , as Lennon and McCartney sing in harmony with each other . Lennon 's vocals are more prominent on the recording and on the live bootleg BBC version ; however , when the Beatles performed the song on The Ed Sullivan Show on 9 February 1964 , McCartney 's vocals could be heard more clearly ( although this may have been due to the audio mix , as their microphones were not turned to the same sound level ) .
Pete's Dragon (2016 film)
Academy Award - winning composer Howard Shore was originally chosen to write the music for the film . He was replaced during post-production by Daniel Hart , who had previously worked with director Lowery on other films , most notably Ai n't Them Bodies Saints ( 2013 ) . The soundtrack was released on August 12 , 2016 by Walt Disney Records . Candle on the Water was the only original song to be featured on the 2016 soundtrack from the 1977 soundtrack . Though the song was not used in the film , it was re-recorded by Okkervil River for the 2016 soundtrack . The original version , performed by Australian singer Helen Reddy ( who played Nora in the original film ) , was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Song in 1977 .
Jackson (song)
Actress Gaby Rodgers is cited as co-author of `` Jackson '' , because Leiber used his then - wife 's name as a pseudonym in writing the song with Wheeler . First recorded in 1963 by Wheeler , he explains the evolution of the song , and Leiber 's contribution :
Can't Help Falling in Love
`` Ca n't Help Falling in Love '' is a pop ballad based on `` Plaisir d'amour '' which is sung by Montgomery Clift in the 1949 film `` The Heiress '' starring Clift and Olivia de Havilland musical score provided by Aaron Copeland . Originally recorded by American singer Elvis Presley and published by Gladys Music , Presley 's publishing company . It was written by Hugo Peretti , Luigi Creatore , and George David Weiss .

Licence to Kill
Initially Vic Flick , who had played lead guitar on Monty Norman 's original 007 theme , and Eric Clapton were asked to write and perform the theme song to Licence to Kill and they produced a theme to match Dalton 's gritty performance , but the producers turned it down and instead Gladys Knight 's song and performance was chosen . The song ( one of the longest to ever be used in a Bond film ) was based on the `` horn line '' from Goldfinger , seen as an homage to the film of the same name , which required royalty payments to the original writers . The song gave Knight her first British top - ten hit since 1977 . The end credits feature the Top 10 R&B hit `` If You Asked Me To '' , sung by Patti LaBelle .

When the Saints Go Marching In
Both vocal and instrumental renditions of the song abound . Louis Armstrong was one of the first to make the tune into a nationally known pop tune in the 1930s . Armstrong wrote that his sister told him she thought the secular performance style of the traditional church tune was inappropriate and irreligious . Armstrong was in a New Orleans tradition of turning church numbers into brass band and dance .
