Where can I find out which TV shows and films a song has appeared in?

I have been trying to find out what films and tv shows a particular song has appeared in.

The song "Stand By Me" came on the radio this morning, I have of course heard it a million times but for some reason this morning when it came on it reminded me of something, a TV show or a film I have watched recently but I can't think what it is and it's bugging me.

I have managed to find a list of films it has appeared in but it's not any of them because I haven't watched any of them so it must be a TV program.

I just have this vision of someone in a TV program that's about to get killed and another person decides to stay with them and die with the person. The song stand by me plays in the background but I can't think of what it is.

Any help would be appreciated, I won't sleep tonight if I don't find out.

I think it was in The Witness with harrison Ford dancing with the Amish girl round the car, and also the John travolta film Urban Cowboys possibly.

Looks like an episode of Highlander could be it??

It was from a great film called "Stand by Me" about a group of young boys. I think one of them was River Pheonix.

The film was indeed "Stand by Me" based on a Stephen KIng story.

I've not seen any of those films so it can't be them I'm thinking of.

I know it's been used a lot but it's something I've seen and it isn't any film, it's a tv program it was in.

Thanks for the replies.
