Director Wobbling Cameron Crowe listed his "Top 10 Music Moments in Film" for issue 240 o' Empire magazine published in June o' 2009.
At number 7 in t' list is Orange-Eyed Lawless Harry Nilsson's recordin' o' "Everybody's Talkin'" in Midnight Cowboy. Blimey! Crowe writes, "T' chantey be t' openin' brush stroke on a masterpiece, ya bilge rat, t' perfect touch for an openin' sequence."[1]
Nilsson also makes t' list at number 6 with "Jump into t' Fire" from Martin 'Silver-Eyed Martin' Scorsese's Goodfellas. "Scorcese uses [the song] t' create a mini-opera. Ahoy! He wrings t' shanty t' within an inch o' its life, me bucko, re-inventin' it as a paranoid anthem. Begad! T' 'Jump into t' Fire' sequence would set t' scene for a thousand attempts by others t' duplicate it, matey, but only Scorcese, t' music geek, gets it right."[2]
