For the purpose of the list a theme song is defined as an opening or closing song directly related to the plot of the movie, or a recurring song that runs throughout a movie or series of movies.  To qualify for the list a song must either capture the atmosphere of the movie, provide a quick, but full, synopsis or preferably both.  Obviously in the case of instrumentals, giving a synopsis is impossible.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><center><\/p>\n<table border=0>\n<tr style=\"background-color: #400707;\">\n<th style=\"color: #dddddd;\">rank<\/th>\n<th style=\"color: #dddddd;\">movie<\/th>\n<th style=\"color: #dddddd;\">song<\/th>\n<th style=\"color: #dddddd;\">artist<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=top>10<\/td>\n<td valign=top>Every Which Way But Loose<\/td>\n<td valign=top>Every Which Way But Loose<\/td>\n<td valign=top>Eddie Rabbit<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=#bbbbbb>\n<td valign=top> 9<\/td>\n<td valign=top>Pet Sematary<\/td>\n<td valign=top>Pet Sematary<\/td>\n<td>Ramones<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=top> 8<\/td>\n<td valign=top>Mortal Kombat<\/td>\n<td valign=top>Mortal Kombat<\/td>\n<td valign=top>Utah Saints<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=#bbbbbb>\n<td valign=top> 7<\/td>\n<td valign=top>Beverly Hills Cop (series)<\/td>\n<td valign=top>Axel F<\/td>\n<td valign=top>Harold Faltermeyer<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=top> 6<\/td>\n<td valign=top>Halloween (series)<\/td>\n<td valign=top>Halloween<\/td>\n<td valign=top>John Carpenter<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=#bbbbbb>\n<td valign=top> 5<\/td>\n<td valign=top>Friday the 13th Part 6<\/td>\n<td valign=top>He&#8217;s Back (The Man Behind the Mask)<\/td>\n<td valign=top>Alice Cooper<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=top> 4<\/td>\n<td valign=top>A Nightmare on Elm Street 3: Dream Warriors<\/td>\n<td valign=top>Dream Warriors<\/td>\n<td valign=top>Dokken<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=#bbbbbb>\n<td valign=top> 3<\/td>\n<td valign=top>National Lampoon&#8217;s Vacation (series)<\/td>\n<td valign=top>Holiday Road<\/td>\n<td valign=top>Lindsey Buckingham<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td valign=top> 2<\/td>\n<td valign=top>Time Bandits<\/td>\n<td valign=top>Dream Away<\/td>\n<td valign=top>George Harrison<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr bgcolor=#bbbbbb>\n<td valign=top> 1<\/td>\n<td valign=top>The  Lost Boys<\/td>\n<td valign=top>Cry Little Sister<\/td>\n<td valign=top>Gerard McMahon<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/table>\n<p><\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For your listening enjoyment, I have rated the top ten best movie theme songs of all time &#8211; or at least of the sub-set of movies that I have seen.
