5. Call Me - Blondie
Written For: American Gigolo (1980)
Written from the perspective of the film's lead, Call Me became the theme for the classic crime drama that cemented Richard Gere's status as a leading man. Gere stars as Julian Kaye, a male prostitute who gets involved in a murder case after getting close to the wife of a politician, played by Lauren Hutton.
Featuring memorable guitar riffs and a catchy hook. A No.1 hit in the USA, UK and Canada, the track has now become one of Blondie's most popular and established singles, and works as a brilliant addition to the overall film.
