If you wanted full circle, you’ve got it with this song. “This Will Be (An Everlasting Love)” by Natalie Cole Hallie and Annie did their research, and re-sparked what once was with assistance from this song (as well as Grandfather, Chessie, and Martin.) Nothing says, “rekindle the romance” quite like this classic Linda Ronstadt number, especially when it’s the song that played the night Nick and Elizabeth met. “(I Love You) For Sentimental Reasons” by Linda Ronstadt I can’t explain it, but again, this movie is everything to me, so …

Why? Because it’s the perfect instrumental piece-sentimental, fun, memorable. This instrumental piece appears throughout The Parent Trap, and every time I hear it I well up a little bit. “Suite From The Parent Trap” by Alan Silvestri Is it just me or did anyone else want to fly to London and rock a pale blue suit while dancing with some random supermodel? Just me? Okay. Hallie continues her awesome rendezvous with her mother by accompanying her on a fashion photoshoot while this little known but incredible song is playing in the background. In this case, Hallie meeting her mother for the first time. Hallie meets her mother for the first time, and no other song could do this scene justice than “Here Comes the Sun.” Not only equipped with a great melody, this song channels the genuine excitement that comes along with the anticipation of finally being able to obtain something you’ve always wanted. It captures that certain feeling of excitement and enchantment that only happens when you’re traveling somewhere new for the first time.

Hallie tours the sights of London in her cab, and it’s one of the greatest music montages in cinematic history.

There’s something nostalgic, feel good, and truly magical about a musical montage where Hallie and Annie learn about each other’s lives. “Do You Believe in Magic” by The Lovin’ SpoonfulĪgain with the classic tunes! Seriously, so much respect for this soundtrack. Regardless, it fits with the scene, so props to whomever chose it. That’s some real mean girl stuff there, which is only bolstered by the use of this song. (Spoiler alert: Annie loses the bet and ends up jumping into the camp lake sans clothing, only to realize that Hallie and her bunkmates have stolen her clothes). Personally, I’ve always disliked this scene because of what happens when Hallie wins. “Bad to the Bone” by George Thorogood & The Destroyers
About time movie score update#
This song is a punk-pop remake of the 1972 Carpenters’ “Top of the World,” and is a delightful update that fits the cool vibe of this film. How could you watch this scene and not want to reenact an awesome BFF handshake with your super-cool butler? This moment needs no lyrical accompaniment-just a jazzy tune that fits perfectly with the quick, bold movements. The Parent Trap brings out an early 90’s Bob Geldof song, “The Happy Club.” And the jam-in the truest sense-is wonderfully matched to the camp setting with it’s energetic na-na-nas and upbeat melody. You might think a newer movie like this would try and capitalize on the hot, current music of its respective year of release, but you’d be wrong. This Nat King Cole classic sets the tone early, and that tone is an instant Disney classic. Right away, we can tell The Parent Trap starring Dennis Quaid, Natasha Richardson, and Lindsay Lohan is going to be a first-rate film.
