I'll probably add more as I think of them, but there are three scenes/songs right off the bat that have got to be prime examples of amazing music being perfectly applied to a visual mood…

1. Paul Giovanni - Willow's Song (from The Wicker Man)

This scene is just the hottest fucking scene ever made.

And dammit I wanted to link to it but apparently none of the YouTube versions are the *unedited* version.

2. Angelo Badalamenti - The Pink Room (from Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me)

Couldn't find a good video for this one on YouTube, but basically this song is one of THE sleaziest songs ever written. Pair that with near unintelligible dialogue (much like you'd hear in an actual club atmosphere) and really saturated colors (much like you'd see in an actual club) and it's just the most evocative scene.

3. Elastica - Only Human (from A Life Less Ordinary)

This plays only for a little bit when Ewan McGregor's character returns home from being fired and getting drunk after his girlfriend leaves him for a fitness instructor. Sorta perfect in effectively portraying the ultimate "bad day" as the whole screen goes red and fisheyes out as he falls back on his bed screaming.
