What's Your Favorite Song in a Wes Anderson film?
Right now I'm addicted to "Let Her Dance" from Fantastic Mr. Fox. A close second would be "Needle in the Hay" from The Royal Tennenbaums.
Which ones do you like?

I love his use of Iggy and the Stooges' "Search and Destroy" in Life Aquatic. Then again, I love that whole soundtrack.

I love love the use of "Queen Bitch" at the end of "The Life Aquatic."
Also the Elliott Smith song ("Needle in the Hay") during Royal Tenenbaums when Luke Wilson's character attempts suicide. Powerful stuff.

I can't believe I'm the first to say Hey Jude at the beginning of the Royal Tenenbaums, incredible all around scene.

Seu Jorge song like 'Lady Stardust' I guess.
Something off of 'Life Aquatic', I like that film.
Or maybe Nico in Tenenbaums as Gwenneth arrives. That's Jackson Browne playing guitar on that track.

Sloop John B at the end of The Royal Tenenbaums. I miss that version. The Van Morrison track just doesn't fit as well.

After reading this thread I went and watched Rushmore again. I got goosebumps when the footage slowed down at the end as "Ooh La La" played. Such a great moment.

It's A Quick One While He's Away from Rushmore or Needle in the Hay from the Royal Tenenbaums for me.
