'60s Garage in Modern Movies & TV Shows

I already created a thread for this topic, but I can't for the life of me find it. If anyone else can find it, please post the link.

Anyway, I was watching Dark Winds on Netflix, and just at the start of the credits for S1:E4, they play about 10 seconds of Black Lightening Light by the Shy Guys.

'60s garage is a lot more 'mainstream' than most people realise

It was prominent in the U.S. from 1965 until about early 1968. Just about every network sitcom and drama except maybe Gunsmoke, Bonanza and The Big Valley featured a long-haired teenbeat/garage group (real or fabricated) at one point or another. The same was true for many Hollywood feature films in that period...as well as numerous mass circulation magazines like Look, Life, Playboy and Newsweek. Its current (minor) resurgence in mass media can be credited to those who later promoted it as a distinct genre (Lenny Kaye, Greg Shaw, Michael Greisman, Little Stephen, Tim Warren, G45s' own 'Mop Top Mike' and many others...who 'dug up', interviewed and promoted these groups and their music). It was a pleasant surprise to hear the fab Fly-Bi-Nites' "Found Love" in a cool cable TV series like Madmen...and to hear The Sonics and The Sparkles in a fab mainstream film like Ford v. Ferrari.

The 2021 film Madame Claude surprisingly begins with The Tyrannies' great song "She's a queen".

The Young Monkey Men "I Love You" in "The Mastermind" (to be honest, I read this in the credit and don't remember hearing it during the movie so it must be at pretty low volume; I even asked a friend who saw it too and knows the song and he didn't remember it either).

Sometimes there are "11th hour" edits of theatrical versions of films that remove some scenes to reduce film running times or for other reasons.
My wife and I watched The Quick And The Dead three times trying to find where Bruce Campbell appears in the film, later to find out that his three scenes (and his character in that movie) were removed, even though he was still in the cast credits. Likewise, when I first saw Rock & Roll High School in a theatre in 1979, there was a Paul McCartney song used in one scene that was removed from most later VHS, DVD and Blu-Ray versions for legal reasons. No great loss there...lol
