You're watching a movie and abruptly you hear a familiar song. From the cue you know that shit is going to go down and it is going to go down hard. This trope is humbly dedicated to any song that has been used in so many movies that playing it in a new movie tells the audience exactly what's going to happen in the scene (and often draws groans of "Not that one again!"). Similar in spirit to Ominous Latin Chanting, but using modern songs. Can overlap with Standard Snippet. Compare Suspiciously Apropos Music. May also sometimes involve Orchestral Bombing. Not to be confused with Bad with the Bone. |

A movie reviewer for Entertainment Weekly once quipped in his review of 3000 Miles to Graceland (which, yes, once again has "Bad to the Bone" on its soundtrack, while boasting a conspicuous paucity of Elvis) that Thorogood must be fabulously rich from the royalties from that song alone. | |

Kill Bill introduced Western audiences to Japanese musician Tomoyasu Hotei's "Battle Without Honor or Humanity" as O-Ren Ishii and the Crazy 88 do a Team Power Walk into the House of the Blue Leaves before the climactic showdown at the end of Volume I. Ever since, the song has been used to indicate that the Badass Bad Guys have arrived, or to underscore how utterly un-badass a character appears. | |

Gary Glitter's "Rock And Roll Part Two" (the one with the instantly recognizable "shouting-groan" chorus) is ridiculously common in sports movies. It's somewhat justified by the fact that both marching bands and loudspeakers often do play that song at games, but in the movies the song will just as likely be heard during moments when the crowd is supposed to be remaining silent. Humorously, it's even used in Happy Gilmore for golf, hardly a macho sport. | |

After its use in Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie, the Red Hot Chili Peppers' cover of "Higher Ground" became linked with high-intensity action, and it's been used several times since (such as in the climax of The Karate Kid (2010)).

The Benny Hill Show's "Yakety Sax" as well, with an added comedic effect. Bonus points if the film is sped up during the duration of the song. The Monkees' "Pleasant Valley Sunday" gets used in this way a lot, too, as lampshaded by The Cinema Snob. |

"We Are the Champions" from News of the World (Queen) by Queen, used to herald in really dramatic moments. Also, sports victories. "We Will Rock You", the companion song to "Champions", for sports-related badassery. "Another One Bites the Dust". Suits the Determinator, a suiting-up scene, or displays of badassery. Used in Small Soldiers. "Another One Bites the Dust" also plays in Iron Man 2 during the fight scene between Tony and Rhodey. The entire soundtrack of Highlander and Flash Gordon (1980). "Somebody To Love" is also pretty popular for when a romantic song is needed. |

Many AC/DC songs are used for this. "Back in Black", as seen in most action movies. Bonus points if it is at the beginning of the movie. Or in the first episode of a TV show. "Shoot to Thrill" has become Iron Man's signature arrival song. Battleship uses "Thunderstruck" during the old USS Missouri veterans' Let's Get Dangerous! scene. "Thunderstruck" is used in The Super Mario Bros. Movie, of all things, when everyone gets ready to bring karts to a raid on the Dark Lands. "TNT" and "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap" also show up here and there. |

Steppenwolf's "Born To Be Wild" is often used to show the seemingly-sweet character (usually female) has a rougher, edgier side that only comes out during a moment of crisis, or any time characters drive off in a vehicle to go save the day. Herbie, Fully Loaded comes to mind. Also, any Badass Biker (due to Easy Rider). This is parodied in The Simpsons, where "Born to be Wild" plays as Grandpa (along with Bart) takes Homer's car to go to Vegas… only to shut it off the radio. Married... with Children, when Al and Steve buy the classic Mustang. Also shows up in some trailers of movies that star animal characters, for example Alpha and Omega and Brother Bear |

Briefly used in Yu-Gi-Oh! The Abridged Series when Tristan shows up on a motorbike—because in the future, card games will be played on motorbikes. | |

In a similar case to The Heavy, the song "High" by Young Rising Sons has been used in countless commercials (for Hulu, Pepsi, a special Snapchat story, the list goes on and on) that have a fun and carefree nature, and is getting close to 1 million views on YouTube, yet has received pretty much zero-to-none airplay on radio. | |

Twisted Sister's "We're Not Gonna Take It" has become semi-obligatory for acts of rebellion (usually of the juvenile variety). At least justified in Rock of Ages, where the "good guys" are all diehard fans of '80s pop/rock music. | |

"Iron Man" by Black Sabbath is also used by badasses (including the Marvel Comics hero, of course). Irony moment: the song is about a time-traveler who attempts to save mankind but ends up destroying it. Which are not necessarily motives and superpowers associated with Tony Stark. | |

Richard Wagner's "Flight of the Valkyries" is almost certain to signify imminent badassery, often from above — as in the Apocalypse Now surfing beach helicopter scene. | |

Richard Strauss' Also sprach Zarathustra can signify a great breakthrough or discovery, as it did most famously in 2001: A Space Odyssey in the monolith scenes. Strauss' "Blue Danube Waltz", also used in 2001: A Space Odyssey during the intricate docking scene, is used to signify a smooth, graceful clockwork motion or choreography. |

The short-lived Tekken comic published by Image used it for its opening scene with Bruce Irvin singing it as all the other fighters lie defeated at Kazuya's feet. He was more-or-less amused. | |

"Saber Dance" by Aram Khachaturian is a popular shenanigans song, and thanks to Pee-wee's Big Adventure, is almost synonymous with the phrase "Breakfast machine", though it often extends to any other kind of Rube Goldberg Device as well. | |

Invoked in the 1988 Oliver Stone film Talk Radio, where the show's host uses it as his theme music. This inspired at least one Real Life host to do the same thing. | |
