Amazing tracks which appear on trailers and not in the film

This happens all the time and it's rubbish. A bit like when L'Oreal advertise mascara and put false eyelashes on the model. It's all lies, lies, lies.

I have no desire to see Frost/Nixon, largely due to the fact that Michael Sheen makes me feel uncomfortable. I think it's his nostrils. But the clever trailer put-togetherers almost fooled me into seeing it by including one of The Most Amazing Songs Ever Written - 'Baba O'Riley' by The Who. Luckily, I know their game and I just twizzled the wheel of my iPod until the synths-on-speed intro reached my ears.

Revolutionary Road uses a beautiful Nina Simone track called 'Wild Is The Wind' for its trailer and, again, it doesn't appear in the film. But it should. If you're dying to see a film containing 'Wild Is The Wind', and your life won't be fulfilled until you do, add Kinky Boots to your LoveFilm rental queue because it does indeed feature this song. And that is a Straight To Video exclusive.

Buy Baba O'Riley by The Who here: The Who - Who's Next - Baba O'Riley (you really should)
Buy 'Wild Is The Wind' by Nina Simone here: Nina Simone - Kinky Boots - Wild Is the Wind
