2 Live Crew's controversial hit "Me So Horny" sampled its title, as well as the line "me love you long time," from which 1980s MOVIE? The scene the dialog was taken from portrays a woman with limited command of English trying to entice a group of young men who find themselves far away from home for the first time.

This song was originally the main theme for a long-forgotten 1955 movie of (almost) the same name, which starred former NFL legend Elroy "Crazylegs" Hirsch. It had several hit recordings around that time, but the cover version that became a popular standard was released in 1965. This version subsequently gained fame again a generation later as the main love theme of the #1 box-office hit of 1990, a romantic drama that won Oscars for Original Screenplay and Supporting Actress. Name the song.

Although the joke only turned out to be accurate for one year after he made it while hosting the Oscars in March 2006, Jon Stewart was referring to what SONG that had just won the Oscar when he observed, "For those of you keeping score at home: Martin Scorsese, zero; Three 6 Mafia, one”?

Billboard's year-end #1 single of 1980 was this theme song from the movie "American Gigolo." The biggest chart-topping hit ever for the band who performed it, the song was co-written by Giorgio Moroder and the band's lead singer. Name the song.

Perhaps no one introduced more popular standards in America in the first half of the 20th century than this star of stage and screen.

Name the performer.

Tchaikovsky's "Garland Waltz," from one of his ballets, had lyrics added for this love theme from a 1950s Disney movie, which was an adaptation of the same source material of the earlier ballet. Name this SONG, which was re-recorded by Lana Del Rey for Disney's 2014 movie remake (the song has a different title from both of the movies it featured in).

Elvis Presley's movie debut in 1956 was a Civil War-era story originally titled "The Reno Brothers," but when his recording of an adaptation of the period song "Aura Lee" (the Elvis version of the song had a different name) racked up over a million pre-release advance orders, 20th Century Fox changed the movie's title to capitalize on the song's popularity. Name the common title of both the song and the movie.

The first time that a hip-hop song was the Billboard year-end #1 was in 1995, when this theme song for a Michelle Pfeiffer starring vehicle topped the charts.

Although it became more associated with a subsequent cover version by an older singer, Liza Minnelli did the original rendition of this theme song from a Martin Scorsese movie. Neither the song nor the movie (they have the same title) were successful on first release--having flopped and coming chronologically right between Taxi Driver and Raging Bull, it's one of Scorsese's least widely seen films.
