Music from porn trailers/videos

[mrjohnsmith]

Has anyone ever heard the music in a porn trailer or video and wanted to know what it was? I have, but sadly haven't had much luck identifying the music. If anyone else has the same question, please feel free to discuss it here. And if anyone ever finds any of the music please post a link or the title & artist, or both. Thank you.

I remember a porn flick from the golden age of porn, like when beta max still existed, I forgot the name of the movie, but I bet Steve Winwood would love to know, because the song playing was "Low Spark Of High Heeled Boys". I'm pretty sure Rodney Moore does his own music, and I think Matt Zane has a band, or was in one before he followed in daddies foot steps, so he might do his own music.

Lou Reed did music to a few 1970s and early 1980s porn flicks. He chose not to be named in the closing credits of those films.

I wonder if maybe then, Traffic knew it was being used? Either way you above most here know how great that song, and band was. You are one a few, kinda my age, my country, that grew up, on what we did. I first listened to Yes, at my then best friends house. It was his brothers album, he wasn't supposed to touch it, but he did, and we jammed. I've ALWAYS leaned towards prog rock, that keyboard based bake your skull to kind of music. When I was in school, out in 1983, Metallica was doing their best work. I was so busy with the previous decade, I didn't become an '80's band, until. the '90's, and so on and so forth, I have caught up to a point i no longer will enjoy most new music, not all, bot some. I have a friend who is very much into underground, and he sends me new stuff he knows I'll at lest listen to, even if it's only once. I guess, in the beginning, a bands attempt to put their art out, no matter how the public perceives it, much like there has always been an argument on obscenity and pornography, During those decades, a protest was a protest. KNOW, a fist in the ass is just part of the 2 disc lesbian follies set, but if your song speaks to the soul of it's composer, but makes people twitchy....BAN IT!!!!

EDIT- I'll redo this tomorrow, when I'm not friied

Now that depends, was the scene you saw in the film have part of the song being played? Or was the entire song in the movie? The producers of the porno would need permission from the music publishing company in order for the entire song to be in it. The music publisher would want to know in what context the song was being requested. In a porno, most times, they wouldn't allow it especially if it was being requested as background music to a sex scene. But even if used during the closing credits, either way, the music publisher's answer, for a porno, would normally be a "no" response. But if only one verse was heard, then it could slip by. For example, they used Alan Price's song, "Poor People" in O Lucky Man! (1973) showing at the beginning a Helen Mirren, Malcolm McDowell kissing scene with coffee pots brewing in the background, then the band playing it and ending with a Malcolm McDowell car driving scene. But then again, Alan Price was the musical director of this Lindsay Anderson classic film. That's a whole different story. Mr. Price was involved in the music for the entire film.

The Low Spark of High Heeled Boys is what? A song that is twelve minutes long? Mainly because of Chris Wood's awesome saxophone playing. (As well as Steve Winwood's outstanding piano playing). Both Wood and Winwood played admirably. And it has four verses in it. Jim Capaldi wrote the lyrics. Steve Winwood wrote the music. It also has three publishing companies involved with it.

Live 1972 ... (not the 1971 studio album) ...

With Anthony "Rebop" Kwaku Baah - playing the congas. The percussionist on Welcome Back to the Canteen (released September 1971) - Roger Hawkins is playing drums. Jim Capaldi is playing tambourine. David Hood is the bass player. Capaldi and Hood are on the other side of the stage. They can be seen when the video camera spreads out for the panoramic views of the band.

The year of the original release was in 1971. The re-release (shown below) was in 1987.

Alan Price's "Poor People" ...

Alan Price was an original member and the ex-keyboardist for the Animals.

One last thing, the filming of O Lucky Man! took so long, months and months, that the drummer in Alan Price's band Clive Thacker was able to grow a full mustache. His wearing a mustache is seen later in the film. But not in this scene.

Damn dude, that's some complete, and nicely organized information. As I remember it wasn't the whole song, and there were no vocals. And I think it was playing during the preview for the movie,

Somewhere in the past I watched a cumshot compilation set to the perfect music: Liz Phair - Hot White Cum
