What songs do you associate with the characters?

I've posted this on other Tim Burton/Johnny forums, and thought well, this should be posted here too. (it can be removed if unnecessary). Anyways. What songs do you associate with the characters and/or movie?

For example, I was listening to Green Day, and the song "Basketcase" came on... and I automatically thought of our dear Mr. Van Dort!
I am one of those melodramatic fools, neuriotic to the bone, no doubt about it...

For Emily, I thought of the song "Waiting" (also by Green Day), and "On My Own" from Les Miserables.

Someone on the TimBurtonCollective forum mentioned "Light My Candle" (from RENT) for the wedding rehearsal scene, and it fits (well kind of...)

Share your thoughts....

LMAO! Victor and Green Day... Whoa, strange yet awesome combination... Yet you DO know that 'Basketcase' is about him being actually insane in the membrane, not just nervous all the time? ;] Riiiiight?

And 'Light My Candle'. Hahaha. Look at my reply to your post in the Random Thread, it'll be sure to amuse you. ;D

Well, for some reason, I've been on a Damien Rice kick lately, and the song 'Cannonball' reminds me of Victor. Read the lyrics and tell me if I'm right!:
"Cannonball" - Damien Rice
There's still a little bit of your taste in my mouth
There's still a little bit of you laced with my doubt
It's still a little hard to say what's going on

There's still a little bit of your ghost, your witness
There's still a little bit of your face I haven't kissed
You step a little closer each day
That I can't see what's going on

Stones taught me to fly
Love, it taught me to lie
Life, it taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannonball

There's still a little bit of your song in my ear
There's still a little bit of your words I long to hear
You step a little closer to me
So close that I can't see what's going on

Stones taught me to fly
Love, it taught me to lie
Life, it taught me to die
So it's not hard to fall
When you float like a cannon-
Stones taught me to fly
Love, it taught me to cry
So come on courage
Teach me to be shy
'Cause it's not hard to fall

And I don't wanna scare her
It's not hard to fall
And I don't wanna lose
It's not hard to grow
When you know that you just don't know

don't know
don't know
don't know.

Hmm. It just makes me think of him reminiscing about Emily, I guess.

Oh yeah, I knew that. But I just have the strangest song ideas... ever.

Anyhoo. There was this song that really reminded me of Emily but now I can't think of it! Ahh!! It'll come to me.
