What are the song Stephen King likes to use?

Question

There are a some songs Stephen King seems to like to put in his Movies.

Sleepwalkers had a couple. Does anyone know the ones from Sleepwalkers? Their title and artist.

Weird Question, but I've always kinda wondered. If you can think of any others that are used in alot of his movies, go ahead and post them but tell me which movies.

Answer 1

In The Stand, he used Don't Fear the Reaper by Blue Oyster Cult
In Sleepwalkers:
"SLEEPWALK"
Written by Johnny Farina, Santo Farina & Ann Farina
Performed by Santo & Johnny
"BOADICEA"
Written by Enya & Nicky Ryan
Performed by Enya
"DO YOU LOVE ME"
Written by Berry Gordy
Performed by The Contours- old song

Answer 2

I haven't noticed any specific recurring songs in movies based on his novels. I HAVE noticed however, that 50's and 60's oldies are common in these pictures.

Here are some examples:

"Stand By Me" (based on "The Body")
- The Chordettes - Lollipop
- Buddy Holly & The Crickets - Everyday
- Del Vikings - Come Go With Me
- Bobbettes - Mr. Lee
- Ben E. King - Stand By Me

"It"
- The Impressions - It's Alright

"Christine" (of course, "Christine" would play nothing but oldies)
- Larry Williams - Bony Moronie
- Richie Valens - Come On Let's Go
- Dion and The Belmonts - I Wonder Why
- Little Richard - Keep A-Knocking
- Buddy Holly - Not Fade Away
- Danny And The Juniors - Rock & Roll Is Here To Stay
