How about all those tired rock songs heard everywhere else that were played in Shrek? I think All Star has been in pretty much every movie produced in the last three years.

Shrek, all of it. The Soundtrack was absolutely terrible.

I shall also nominate "All-Star" since it was in like every single movie made since it came out.
I know there is another song that got put into 57,000 movies within the past few years...i just can't remember it.

Even though I LOVE the song and it was kind of "appropriate," I thought that "How to Disappear Completely" by Radiohead was kind of awkward in Life As a House. It just seemed forced.

I thought "Hallelujah" seemed really out of place in Shrek. Plus, it made me think it was the John Cale version of the song, Wainwright's version is a note for note remake, even with his voice. For quite a while I thought they must have just put Cale's version on with a pen name.
But as much as I love the song, my girlfriend and I's first comment when leaving the theater was "Why did they put a John Cale song in the movie?"

When I read the thread title, I immediately thought of "Hallelujah" in Shrek. The Jeff Buckley version will always be my favorite, and the fact that they remade it again pissed me off.

Scarborough Fair in The Graduate wasn't exactly bad IMO as much as it was overkilled to the point of being annoying.
Same for Everybody's Talkin at Me in Midnight Cowboy.
