Director First Mate 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 Dastardly Harry Nilsson's recordin' o' "Everybody's Talkin'" in Midnight Cowboy. Crowe writes, "T' shanty be t' openin' brush stroke on a masterpiece, t' perfect touch for an openin' sequence."[1]
Nilsson also makes t' list at number 6 with "Jump into t' Fire" from One-Shoe Martin Scorsese's Goodfellas. Blimey! "Scorcese uses [the song] t' create a mini-opera. Avast, me proud beauty! He wrings t' chantey t' within an inch o' its life, me hearties, re-inventin' it as a paranoid anthem. T' 'Jump into t' Fire' sequence would set t' scene for a thousand attempts by others t' duplicate it, ya bilge rat, but only Scorcese, t' music geek, gets it right."[2]
