[Data-modeling] Film: new property experiment on sandbox this week, featured song in film

[Gordon Mackenzie]

For Hollywood films from the early talkies to the early eighties there  
would often be a featured popular song or two (usually specifically  
written for the film). The song would be sold as a single (a precursor  
to the slick commmercialized prepackaged would be mega-hit soundtrack  
albums with Top-40 pop songs barely heard in the actual film in the  
1980s onwards). Even more recently a film would occasionally use a a  
particular song to such great effect that it could often be referred  
as that movies theme song (if not literally within the songs title).

"Moon River" for "Breakfast at Tiffany's"

"The Way We Were" for movie of the same name.

"As Time Goes By" for "Casablanca"

  "Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head" for "Butch Cassidy and the  
Sundance Kid"

"In Your Eyes" for Say Anything

NOTE that this property is not meant for all music pieces within a  
film, that's what the film score/soundtrack property captures quite  
adequately. This is hopefully to be used for songs that are indelibly  
linked to the film. I'd like to specifically capture the relationship  
within the film type. What does the community think?
