The Spider-Man movies have a rich soundtrack history, starting with Chad Kroeger's 'Hero' from Spider-Man which became a global hit, and Spider-Man 2, featuring both 'Vindicated' by Dashboard Confessional and 'Ordinary' by Train. Hollywood nonetheless keeps hiring some of the best artists to contribute original songs for their summer films, and here are some of the best that might have flown under the radar but would make great additions to any summer playlist for BBQs, road trips, or parties.

While the tie-in movie song has been less of a trend in recent years, studios still continue to try, yet few have crossed over into becoming a mainstream hit. The latest is Lady Gaga's Top Gun: Maverick song, 'Hold My Hand,' very much paying homage to the 1986 film which opened in the summer, introducing audiences to two iconic original songs, Kenny Loggins 'Danger Zone' and Berlin's 'Take My Breath Away.'Ī good summer movie song can become instantly iconic, being a yearly listen or a time capsule of a certain summer memory. Counting Crow's landed an Oscar nomination for Best Original Song for their hit summer song 'Accidently in Love' from Shrek 2. Will Smith used to give audiences a big summer movie like Men in Black and Wild Wild West for Fourth of July weekend as well as a title song to enjoy. There is no shortage of iconic songs from the soundtracks to hit summer movies, from Survivor's 'Eye of the Tiger' from Rocky III, Jon Bon Jovi's 'Blaze of Glory' from Young Guns II, Coolio's 'Gangsta's Paradise' from Dangerous Minds, and Seal's 'Kiss From a Rose' from Batman Forever, just to name a few. Yet one of the most underrated elements to them is the iconic movie tie-in song. Summer movies are known for a lot of things, from big action spectacles, to the biggest movie stars, to marketing blitzkriegs that become so intrinsically linked to the summer.
