Yes and then some songs which just evoke a certain mood or feeling can be re-used in an unexpected way. the Bee Gees song 'Holiday' which has a somber mood and a slightly mysterious or contradictary air was used in a recent South Korean Police procedural movie to evoke a sense of unease. it worked perfectly. The film was called Nowhere to Hide. The same producers used that creepy Enya Bodica song (she spells it in latin I think) off her album The Celts in a serial killer film called Tell me Something the year before they made Nowhere to Hide.

My husband watches all new South Korean Films as part of of his job so i wind up watching the good ones with him. The incorporation of pop music to evoke a mood or a time period is very common but they its done deftly and seamlessly. Another film, a political thriller about North/South tensions and espionage called Shiri, uses a version 'When I Dream', originally a hit for Crystal Gayle, in a particularly poignant way.
