Um, you might want to look at all the Star Trek and
Star Wars books available in the local bookstore. :-)

Some more interesting inspirations - Neil Diamond
wrote "Heartlight" after seeing E.T. It wasn't on the
soundtrack, it was on one of his albums. And he took
care to get permission from Steven Spielberg before
releasing the song.

Tom Petty was asked to write a song for a soundtrack
and produced a whole album. Can't think of the name of
the movie, but Edward Burns was the man behind it and
one of the songs has been on Pop Up Video.

And as a Barbie collector, I was quite tickled by
Aqua's "Barbie Girl". And had to shake my head by
Mattel filing a lawsuit.
