The right song can make a normal scene in a movie one that goes down as a classic, and pairing a scene with the perfect backing tune can shed new light on a song you thought you knew. So for the MTV Movie Awards, we honor the music that met the perfect movie and made the magic happen.
Head over to MovieAwards.MTV.com to cast your vote and make sure your favorite takes the stage this Sunday, June 3, at 9 p.m. ET to collect the Golden Popcorn.
Here's our rundown of the Best Music nominees:
College and Electric Youth's "A Real Hero," "Drive"
If "Drive" had been just a straightforward crime thriller like a synopsis might suggest, it would have amounted to nothing more than an average genre entry with a pretty face attached. Instead, director Nicolas Winding Refn infused every inch of this new cult classic with '80s nostalgia, including an electro-fueled soundtrack, led by the College/ Electric Youth collaboration "A Real Hero." The pick could seem odd at first, but as soon as it kicks in and all other sound fades away, everything just clicks.
Figurine's "Impossible," "Like Crazy"
Young lovers inevitably come to adopt songs as meaningful and important to the memory of their relationship. Appropriately, last year's "Like Crazy" featured a killer soundtrack, suitable for the impossibly cute first love. "Impossible" comes up during one of the more difficult moments in the film, when our ocean-crossed lovers are apart and old memories keep new ones from taking. It added a layer of reality and depth to a scene that felt straight out of real life.
Kid Cudi's "Pursuit of Happiness" (Steve Aoki dance remix), "Project X"
When it comes to throwing the world's greatest house party, a badass playlist lands at the top of the to-do list, right below "invite people." Just a quick glimpse at the clip proves that there's nothing quite like this Kid Cudi/ Steve Aoki jam to party till the sun comes up or the cops kick everyone out.
LMFAO's "Party Rock Anthem," "21 Jump Street"
Now if you're more in the mood for party music to get stabbed in the back to, LMFAO's "Party Rock Anthem" may be more up your alley. The song turned out to be the perfect accent to Schmidt and Jenko's first big house party as fake high-schoolers, and it showed that you shouldn't let something like a pesky knife wound ruin your rager.
The Chemical Brothers' "The Devil Is in the Details," "Hanna"
Similar to "Drive," "Hanna" uses fairy-tale motifs and a frighteningly memorable score from the Chemical Brothers to elevate what would have otherwise been a rather typical Bourne rip-off. The music adds a whole other level of danger and makes the tale of a tween-age master assassin all the more sinister and disturbing.
Head over to MovieAwards.MTV.com to vote for your favorite flicks now! The 21st annual MTV Movie Awards air live this Sunday, June 3, at 9 p.m. ET.

Prince William Endorsed Revealing New Tell-All
The explosive new tell-all book Prince William: The Man Who Will Be King, has been splashed across the web, describing Kate Middleton as a cold, dull, serious girl who was never liked by William?s friends
Now, In Touch can reveal that the biography, painting a less-than-glamorous portrait of the future Queen of England, had her husband?s blessing!
?It?s very unusual for the prince?s household to speak to a biographer like me,? author and royal insider Penny Junor exclusively tells In Touch. ?But Prince William gave them his permission.?
The biography claims that when William first met Kate, she sported ?unwashed hair, no makeup and grubby jeans.? William?s love for Kate is even minimized in the book, with Penny claiming that, for quite a while during their courtship, the 29-year-old prince ?had very real worries about whether it was possible to love just one woman.?
The book also draws attention to Kate?s skinny frame and diet, sparking cruel rumors that she is infertile.
Yet as upset as the Duchess of Cambridge understandably is, she can take comfort in the fact that William is showing his commitment to her now. ?He is being very supportive, and trying to make Kate laugh about things,? an insider reveals to In Touch. ?The whole point of the book was that she was a normal girl, but she?s turned into a great beauty with a husband who loves her. That?s what she should focus on.?
