I did some quick research and found the following films incorporated Queen Bitch on their soundtracks:<br /><br />The Heartbreak Kid (2007)<br />Run, Fatboy, Run (2007)<br />What We Do is Secret (2007)<br />Milk (2008)<br /><br />Life Aquatic (2004) and The Damned United (2009) pretty much serve as bookends to the peak in the song's revival in pop culture!Fongoliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09371999502111349188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15347849.post-27314373703976031822012-07-27T02:31:54.067-06:002012-07-27T02:31:54.067-06:00I thoroughly enjoyed your post about Queen Bitch. ...I thoroughly enjoyed your post about Queen Bitch. I happen to have been born 8 years before Hunky Dory came out and own it on vinyl, cassette and CD. It's probably my favourite Bowie album. I have a trivia question that perhaps you can answer. Besides The Life Aquatic and The Damned United, what other films feature this song? I know there are a few others. Just can't think of them. Maybe you know.

"and i'm beat beat beat beat." maybe it was a subconscious ripoff! like they went to write a song about a girl being with another guy and came up with something which reminded them of that situation, which unbeknownst to them they had linked up mentally with this bowie song! the lines about cabs and stomachs and the beat pattern came naturally and sounded great upon execution and nobody noticed a thing.Andrew Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09643202120439532886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15347849.post-45842639779960236622008-11-28T04:17:00.000-07:002008-11-28T04:17:00.000-07:00I'm new to the Killers music (sad old me) but I wa...I'm new to the Killers music (sad old me) but I was just listening to Mr Brightside on Youtube and I thought 'jeez, this is just Queen Bitch, they've ripped off Bowie'. So I googled, as one does, and found your blog.

While I was watching my "Best of Bowie" DVD,...OMG! While I was watching my "Best of Bowie" DVD, I noticed some similarities between Bowie's "Queen Bitch" and the Killer's "Mr. Brightside"! First of all, both songs appear at first glance to be about a girl they knew being with another guy. In Mr. Brightside, they say over and over "and she's calling a cab" and in Queen Bitch, he says "and I'm phoning a cab." Also, in Mr. Brightside, they say "And my stomach is sick" and in Queen Bitch he says, "Cause my stomach feels small." In Mr. Brightside, the portion right before the chorus sounds VERY close to the portion before the chorus in Queen Bitch! Okay, so maybe a lot of the lyrics seem like coincidences, but I've had an obsession with both of these songs at one point (With Brightside being first) and everytime I hear those lines in Queen Bitch I immediately associate them with Mr. Brightside! Coincidence or not?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15347849.post-59103195979157875862008-04-12T19:04:00.000-06:002008-04-12T19:04:00.000-06:00There's a "Thin White Duke Mix" of Mr. Brightside,...There's a "Thin White Duke Mix" of Mr. Brightside, if we needed any more proof.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15347849.post-3697836971612138512008-04-10T12:47:00.000-06:002008-04-10T12:47:00.000-06:00I have lots of covers of Queen Bitch but no karaok...I have lots of covers of Queen Bitch but no karaoke version I'm afraid...Fongoliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09371999502111349188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15347849.post-65802099223280833982008-04-10T06:56:00.000-06:002008-04-10T06:56:00.000-06:00Found this looking for a karaoke version of "Queen...Found this looking for a karaoke version of "Queen Bitch"; any help would be appreciated.
