Pop Culture Happy Hour did an episode on this not long ago. Their picks:
- Thunderstruck by AC/DC
- Feeling Good by Nina Simone
- Dreams by The Cranberries
- All Along the Watchtower by Jimi Hendrix (with the comment "Vietnam needs a new soundtrack.")
But also, starting every trailer with the isolated piano key F6 (the same note as car horns and digital alarm clocks, specifically chosen to slap your brain to attention).

But the first time you heard it; c'mon, wasn't it amazing? It's like that weird song about the Puffy Clouds.

The Clive Owen BMW short was so damned great, though.

Starship Troopers is the one that I still remember, I also remember a small amount disappointment that it wasn't in the actual movie.
