2: “You'll stay forever this way” if you remember this Celine Dion hit from the Titanic soundtrack. What is My Heart Will Go On? (It's my stomach I'm not so sure about.)
4: He was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1994, the same year he recorded “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” for the Lion King soundtrack. Who is Elton John? (He still never topped "dressing like a stolen car" on The Muppet Show, though!)

(A movie where Burt Reynolds and Charles Durning sang, and Jim Nabors didn't -- that's really all you need to know about that trainwreck.)

10: Alison Kraus recorded “Down in the River to Pray” for this movie soundtrack that included “Man of Constant Sorrow.” What is O Brother, Where Art Thou? (No way am I gonna snark on the Coens' best movie.)
