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 …

(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
