OFF: Starship Troopers and a connection to the Tick

Here's an obvious choice: From Reservoir Dogs - "Stuck in the middle with
you" by Stealers Wheel.  It's great the way the movie puts a whole
different slant on the lyrics.

I also thought it was cool the way they used Hendrix's "Voodoo Chile" in
Withnail & I. The faint opening chug-a-chug of the guitar as Paul McGann
begins to wake up, and then KERRANGGG!!!! as he realises he's slewing all
over the road in a car driven by a drunken lunatic....
