So you're leaning back in your comfy theater chair, next to your significant other, munching on overpriced lobby snacks, when the previews come on. The first opens with some dramatic In a World… narration about the Earth That Was...but wait a minute. That music sure sounds familiar. "Requiem for a Tower", again? The next trailer is for some run-of-the-mill PG-rated Eddie Murphy Toilet Humor kiddy comedy. It's "I Feel Good" by James Brown! Again! This is a common movie trailer trope. Simply put, many editors of trailers find it easy to use famous songs to elicit a specific mood within a two- or three-minute duration. See also Standard Snippet. Recycled Trailer Music is a close sister trope, but for film scores instead of songs. |

KT Tunstall's "Suddenly I See" was used in The Devil Wears Prada, and ever since has been used in various trailers for movies, TV, and commercials, usually in scenes where women are empowered. It was even parodied by Best Week Ever in 2008, which played it with scenes of women working in sweatshops. | |

DJ Shadow’s “Nobody Speak” became a standard stock track for R-rated and raunchy comedies in the late 2010s, notably being featured in the trailers for Suburbicon, Booksmart and Good Boys* in the latter two examples, it also appeared in the actual movies. Booksmart and Good Boys opened in the same summer season, which meant it wasn’t uncommon to get the trailers for both films at the same screening - or even back-to-back. | |

The Cranberries were everywhere on film and TV, mostly in Gen-X-centric fare. "Dreams" takes the cake, having been in trailers for Chungking Express, Milk Money, You've Got Mail, and Mission: Impossible, as well as episodes of My So-Called Life, Beverly Hills, 90210, Gossip Girl, and JAG. Patrice O'Neal poked fun at it on an Opie & Anthony appearance, while improving a crummy romcom trailer. | |

The trailers for Atomic Blonde, Wonder Woman 1984 and Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War used remixes of New Order's "Blue Monday" to underline that they are set in The '80s. The song is also briefly used at the beginning of Atomic Blonde. | |

"Bishop's Countdown" from Aliens (also an example of Recycled Trailer Music) has been seen in many action-oriented films that were released over the last three decades. This includes its sequel (Alien³), The Abyss, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (2005), From Dusk Till Dawn, XXX, Dante's Peak and many more. According to Soundtrack.net, it is the fifth most-commonly used cue for a trailer. | |

The trailer for Toy Story featured Thin Lizzy's "The Boys Are Back in Town". Nowhere to be found in the film, though. It's sung in the on-ice version. "The Boys Are Back in Town" would become the trilogy's signature trailer song, being reused to promote Toy Story 2 and 3. | |

As also mentioned above, "Requiem for a Tower" is pretty popular for overwrought Sci-Fi/Action epics, ever since it was created for the trailers of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers. Hell, even The Da Vinci Code used it. It's an orchestral remix of the song "Lux Aeterna", which was written (by Clint Mansell) as the main theme for Requiem for a Dream. It's become the default action/sci-fi/epic/drama/pretty-much-any-genre music for trailers, despite the original being a depressing music for a depressing movie. | |
