[Indymisanthrope]

2.	"Holding Out for a Hero"	Frou Frou	3:21
3.	"Changes"	David Bowie & Butterfly Boucher	3:22

1. Robin Williams introduced the best animated feature award at the 2005 Oscars, for which Shrek 2 was nominated and at which the Counting Crows performed as best song nominees.

2. Miles Teller starred in the 2011 Footloose reboot which featured a cover of Holding Out for a Hero.

4. Margot Robbie is known for playing Harley Quinn, a character who could be described by the lyric " For so long I thought I was asylum bound" from "As Lovers Go."

5. Anthony Bourdain told The Splendid Table in an interview that had he not become a chef he would have been the bass player in a funk band. But he only talked about it, talked about it, talked about it, talked about it...

7. Julia Roberts starred in Mary Reilly, which contains a scene in which Dr. Jekyll teaches her how to prepare...Eels.

Okay it's been a busy day and I'm losing steam and creativity, but I bet if I wracked my brain hard enough I could make more of these work.

3. As punishment for drug abuse, Craig Charles was suspended from his role on Coronation Street, which David Bowie watched religiously to distract himself from his drug addiction.

11. Christopher Walken starred in a series of ads that prominently used Nick Cave's "We So Cool."

Guys, that's 7/14 DIRECT connections to Shrek 2. I'm halfway there.

13. The Eligh & Amp Live song "L.A. Dreamers" contains the lyrics "Now you're Danny Devito's personal assistant" and "Living la vida loca from Echo Park to the Palisades." Also Eddie Murphy is supposedly in talks to join Danny Devito and Schwarzenegger in a sequel to Twins.

Larry Holmes

Larry Holmes ring entrance music was a disco hit called “No Stoppin' Us Now" by McFadden Whitehead. They were a one hit wonder but had anyone ever covered it or has a link to them

I believe Bloc Party covered this song, once.

 

[TenderLovingKiller®]

House of Pain - ST

I would actually enjoy this.

He also has some very minor film credits according to IMDb, but I cannot find a soundtrack listing for the biggest one.

Larry Holmes' nickname was The Easton Assassin. I don't even know what it means but it will surely help @ByersVinyl to figure out the Aotm (are you done with your beers? ).

EDIT: Larry Holmes comes from Easton... Sometimes things can be very simple.

15. Donkey on Larry Holmes

Hiccup belch..... getting closer i can feel it (or something) coming

I would assume it’s likely a town/city named Easton that was his hometown and he “kills” people in the boxing ring.

I Saw this too and really did spend far too long hoping this was the breakthrough track - i found Not one but 2 Xfactor contestants during this blind alley
So tirwd iw. (So tired now)
other notable mentions go out to Alvin and the Chipmunks (strangely appeared twice during my futile searches.
Also nearly as weird Rob Zombies soundtrack to House of 1000 corpses.

I tried.

 

[MyWifeHatesTrain]

Also, not a clue.. before you all shoot off on another tangent.

EVERYTHING YOU SAY IS A CLUE!!!!

 

[gaporter]

So if we've been given the final clue, I assume the announcement is around the corner? Because I am stumped. Have mercy, Creator
