Favorite song played during the opening credits that was written for the film

I was watching After the Fox with Peter Sellers, which has a great opening credit sequence and I came up with this thread.

The song must be played over the opening credits and must have been written expressly for the film. Regrettably, I don't see many films anymore that utilizes this. The James Bond films, thankfully, still utilize this.

Any faves?

Music played over the credits doesn't count, it has to be a song.

"Everybody's Talkin'" from Midnight Cowboy is a good one. I never cared much for the film, but the opening credits are great.

Nancy Sinatra's "He Shot Me Down (Bang Bang)" from Kill Bill was pretty cool.

But I think one of the coolest is The Shield's theme, "Just Another Day." It's one of those that gets the blood pumping everytime you hear it.

Casino Royale was groovy if you dig Herb Alpert and the Tiujuana Brass.

Also, for silliness, Blazing Saddles and Life of Brian are up there.

How about the themes from Johnny Dangerously or Spy Hard, both by Weird Al.

Probably the beginning of "The Usual Suspects", I'm pretty sure it was written for the film.
