That whole thing confused me because it's supposed to be a tribute to the Best Original Song category but a ton of them weren't original songshttps://twitter.com/ilyseh/status/1226694375759065088 …

This is especially a question because so many of those iconic needle drops are heavily ironic, like the Stuck in the Middle with You torture scene in Reservoir Dogs

(The reason they have the rule, in fact, is that in 1941 they gave the award for "Best Song" to "The Last Time I Saw Paris" from Lady Be Good and the original songwriter refused to accept it because he felt the movie took his song out of context and disapproved of it)

It's a pretty strict rule too, like obviously from the title you can tell "Mrs. Robinson" from Simon and Garfunkel was intended as a song for the movie But because it was based on a track "Mrs. Roosevelt" they'd been developing for an album before the movie it was ineligible

"Gangsta's Paradise" would have been eligible because it was written specifically to be on the soundtrack for Dangerous Minds but it wasn't because it samples an earlier piece of music, Stevie Wonder's "Pastime Paradise"

The Razzies no longer do Worst Original Song but I think Worst Licensed Use of an Existing Song would actually be a much better category So many candidates every year

For many years, there was an award for Best Song Score. Right off the top of my head, I can’t remember if it meant original songs or just a good mixtape.

"Best Song Score" is supposed to be a category for musicals It still technically exists, it's just that it's been a long time since there's been enough movie musicals released in one year to have a competition

I'm kind of curious how something like this would work in a Smash Mouth "All Star" situation, which was made for a movie, just not the movie everyone liked it in.

It can only win for the movie it was written for
