According to Hofmann: Trailer trashed

Now that everyone has a bit of extra time on their hands, many have turned to extracurricular activities like home renovation projects, dedicating extra romance with their significant other and binge drinking with only the bravest souls willing to do all three things at once.

But watching movies and television programs on streaming services has really been on the uptick lately, but an issue that me and others I know have is what to watch.

It无毛视频檚 kind of a strange problem, but since we无毛视频檙e bombarded with hundreds, if not thousands, of choices, it无毛视频檚 difficult to determine which piece of entertainment moves to the top of our interest watchlist and is worthy of our extra time.

So, I无毛视频檝e been spending most of my time watching trailers of movies and shows to find which movie and/or show to watch. Kind of insane when you think about it, but entertainment has nothing to do with thinking, which is why you无毛视频檙e reading this column.

However, in the course of this experiment, I noticed that the same songs seem to pop up in certain genres of trailers.

Let无毛视频檚 take a look无毛视频

n 无毛视频淏aba O无毛视频橰eilly无毛视频, a.k.a. the song that starts with 无毛视频淥ut here in the fields, I fought for my meals无毛视频ξ廾悠禎 by The Who

This is one of my favorite kick-butt songs so it无毛视频檚 fittingly used for the beginning of trailers where, let无毛视频檚 say, a crew of workers are gearing up to begin the construction of the Panama Canal when the men, lead by foreman Dwayne 无毛视频淭he Rock无毛视频 Johnson, stumble across a burial ground that unleashes zombies.

n 无毛视频淩aise Your Glass,无毛视频 by Pink

OMG! A girls-night-out movie trailer where shenanigans will ensue and a multitude of inappropriateness will take place. This song normally takes place near the end of the trailer as the ladies are all united and dancing or juggling bowling pins (I don无毛视频檛 know how women celebrate) following a unsettling encounter with a Samoan pimp played by Dwayne 无毛视频淭he Rock无毛视频 Johnson, who tries to recruit them as ladies of the night.

n 无毛视频淕imme Shelter无毛视频 by The Rolling Stones

This is your gangster, growing-up-on-the-wrong-side-of-the-tracks movie trailer or something involving a heist in the 60s or 70s. The song is normally played while a character无毛视频損erhaps Dwayne 无毛视频淭he Rock无毛视频 Johnson as a drug mule无毛视频搃s running through an airport to escape from something or looking for a bathroom so something can escape from him.

n 无毛视频淏ad to the Bone无毛视频 by George Thorogood

This early 80s song is not a great departure from other Thorogood无毛视频檚 ditties about being a drunk, someone you don无毛视频檛 want to mess with and doesn无毛视频檛 pay his local school taxes, but, like many things, it has aged to become tame and used mostly for irony.

For example, if Dwayne 无毛视频淭he Rock无毛视频 Johnson plays a hard-boiled cop tasked to go undercover as a school marm, 无毛视频淏ad to the Bone无毛视频 would play at the point in the trailer when he steps out of the changing booth in his knitted dress and wig.

n 无毛视频淪olsbury Hill无毛视频 by Peter Gabriel

I think this song can fit into every Cameron Crow movie trailer or any movie trailer where a character goes into self-discovery mode. It无毛视频檚 normally played in the trailer when the main character, like Dwayne 无毛视频淭he Rock无毛视频 Johnson,无毛视频 is traveling inside a car or plane or on a motorcycle sidecar with an umbrella, looking off into the distant horizon of his destiny无毛视频r searching for a bathroom.

n 无毛视频淵ou Make My Dreams无毛视频 by Haulin无毛视频 Oats无毛视频揑 mean by Hall & Oates

Think of a buddy comedy where two guys无毛视频揇wayne 无毛视频淭he Rock无毛视频 Johnson playing identical twins that never met无毛视频搕eam up for a task and realize that they are indeed more like brothers than coworkers or rival circus performers or synchronized swimmers.

n 无毛视频淲ho Let the Dogs Out无毛视频 by Baha Men

This song is reserved for a comedy trailer, normally revealing a specific character无毛视频檚 introduction to the movie when it answers the question who, indeed, let the dogs out. And that character is non other than Danny DeVito. Dwayne 无毛视频淭he Rock无毛视频 Johnson passed on the project.

Now there无毛视频檙e so many more songs I can put into this list, but I simply can无毛视频檛 because this week无毛视频檚 column is really cutting into my movie-trailer-watching time.

There无毛视频檚 this one movie trailer on Amazon Prime called 无毛视频淪kyscraper.无毛视频 I don无毛视频檛 know much about it other than it无毛视频檚 like 无毛视频淒ie Hard,无毛视频 but in a skyscraper and stars some WWE star, whose name escapes me at the moment.

According to Hofmann is written by staff reporter Mark Hofmann of Rostraver Township. He co-hosts the 无毛视频淟ocally Yours无毛视频 radio show on WMBS 590 AM every Friday. His book, 无毛视频淪tupid Brain,无毛视频 is available on Amazon.com.
