THE STORY BEHIND THE SONG: HOW MIDNIGHT COWBOY FOUND “EVERYBODY'S TALKIN'” During our conversation with Jon Voight, he shared with us the backstory behind the selection of Everybody's Talkin' as the film's theme song.

Midnight Cowboy was one of the first film to make extensive use of pop artists and songs. John Barry supervised the music and composed the score, winning a Grammy for Best Instrumental Theme.

The writer of the music for a song can be called a composer, although this term tends to be used mainly in the classical music genre and film scoring. A songwriter who mainly writes the lyrics for a song is referred to as a lyricist.

Many of Swift's songs on Speak Now are speculated to be about her relationships with Joe Jonas, Taylor Lautner and John Mayer. There is also one song about her beef with Kanye West and another rumored to be about Adam Young. Others, including the title track, aren't about her own life.

October 6, 1927 The earliest feature-length movies with recorded sound included only music and effects. The first feature film originally presented as a talkie (although it had only limited sound sequences) was The Jazz Singer, which premiered on October 6, 1927.

New York, however, is not as hospitable as he imagined, and Joe soon finds himself living in an abandoned building with a Dickensian layabout named Enrico "Ratso" Rizzo (Dustin Hoffman).
