[2026 Edition] Latest Western Movie Theme and Insert Songs (31–40)
This Old Heart Of Mine (Is Weak For You)The Isley Brothers
The film Ticket to Paradise centers on married life.
The song that played over the ending and moved audiences to tears was This Old Heart of Mine (Is Weak for You).
It’s a track by the R&B group The Isley Brothers.
Although it was released in 1966, it’s still cherished today as a song that portrays eternal love.
Its structure—pairing a pop-leaning melody with heartrending lyrics that showcase their expressive power—may be exactly why it’s considered a classic.
JuicyThe Notorious B.I.G.
Released in 2023, Transformers: Rise of the Beasts also drew attention with its stylish trailer.
The hip-hop track used in that trailer is Juicy, the debut single by The Notorious B.I.G., a legendary figure in the American hip-hop scene.
Some say the choice of a debut single was deliberate, symbolizing a fresh start for the series—and the beginning of a legend.
If you liked it, this is a great chance to revisit his music.
Shazam! Fury of the Gods（Main Title Theme）Christophe Beck
Shazam! is a superhero film based on an American comic book.
Its sequel, Shazam! Fury of the Gods, was released in March 2023.
The film’s music was composed by Canadian composer Christophe Beck, who also scored major hits like Ant-Man and Frozen II.
In the main theme of Shazam! Fury of the Gods, the powerful sound of the trombones evokes the righteous power of a superhero—it sounds really cool.
The OstrichTHE PRIMITIVES
The film C’mon C’mon, which drew attention for starring Joaquin Phoenix.
In the scene where the protagonists arrive in New York, the song playing is The Ostrich, a track by THE PRIMITIVES, the rock band Lou Reed was in before forming The Velvet Underground.
Its distinctive, pop-leaning sound captures the roots of The Velvet Underground—known for their avant-garde, quintessentially New York expression—and is part of its appeal!
Sympathy for the DevilThe Rolling Stones
This is a signature song by The Rolling Stones that sharply portrays the darkness of human nature.
It features a samba-like rhythm and Nicky Hopkins’s striking piano, with Keith Richards’s guitar solo also catching the ear.
Recorded in June 1968, it opened the album Beggars Banquet.
The lyrics, told from the devil’s perspective about tragedies in history, contain deep insights that probe the essence of humanity.
It was also used in the film Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, heightening a dramatic scene.
Highly recommended for rock fans interested in the darker side of human nature.

AlineJarvis Cocker
The American film “The French Dispatch of the Liberty, Kansas Evening Sun,” released in Japan in 2022.
Its main theme song, “Aline,” features an elegant sound reminiscent of French chanson.
But in fact, the singer is Jarvis Cocker, the frontman of Pulp—an essential rock band when talking about Britpop, the major movement that swept the UK in the 1990s.
He delivers a superb cover of French singer Christophe’s song, keeping a French pop flavor while adding a distinctly Pulp touch.
The National Anthem (Radiohead Cover)Riaya featuring Kinnship
The film Napoleon, which depicts Napoleon Bonaparte—the French emperor whose name is etched in history—features The National Anthem in its trailer.
The version used is a cover by Riaya, with the original by the British rock band Radiohead.
It’s a track from their 2000 album Kid A, a rock tune that brings in synthesizers and a brass section.
The title, meaning “national anthem,” carries Radiohead’s own brand of irony.
