#TBTXPN: Music that takes you to the movies

We’ve been having a lot of fun this summer on WXPN’s Throwback Thursdays — or #TBTXPN, in the social media universe. We’ve already unpacked The Beatles’ classic Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band for its 50th anniversary, explored “musical shadows” (aka famous covers and their corresponding originals), brought you a parade of number one hits and revisited the second British invasion.

This week on #TBTXPN, we’re going to the movies.All day on Thursday, July 27th, from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m., XPN hosts Kristen Kurtis, Helen Leicht and Dan Reed will bring you songs that were featured prominently in movie scenes — think the “Bohemian Rhapsody” scene from Wayne’s World or the “Tiny Dancer” scene in Almost Famous.

Tune in this Thursday at 88.5 FM in Philly or XPN.org worldwide, and see some of what’s in store below. (WARNING: Some clips below contain adult content, viewer discretion is advised.)
