I was vaguely amused to hear a couple of girls speaking about this track in the supermarket earlier this week; they were both clearly too young to remember it from early in 2000, but its recent feature in the Deadpool & Wolverine movie has made them wonder who the “new boy band” might be; a bit like someone I saw asking who the guy with the great voice singing “Angels” alongside Taylor Swift was…
There are quite a few songs which have resurged in the charts after being used in a movie or series, here are some that spring to mind:
Kate Bush’s “Running up the Hill” – Stranger Things
Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody – Wayne’s World and of course following the biopic about Freddie Mercury of the same name
Righteous Brothers’ Unchained Melody – Ghost
Various from Guardians of the Galaxy (1) and (2) such as The Spinners’ “Rubber Band Man” and ELO’s “Mr Blue Sky”
Have a good bank holiday everyone !
