Rascal Flatts made their big debut in 2000 and has maintained their trio ever since as their sound has elevated them in the music industry and allowed them to create the kind of buzz that has attracted a good number of people to their music. It was kind of a surprise to find that the demographic that listens to their music includes a lot of younger folks from 10 years old and up, but it’s also kind of inspiring since it indicates that they’re a very respectable band and sing about subjects that are friendly to most listeners, thus endearing them to a lot of people that don’t want to hear the profanity and controversial material that makes a lot of other performers stand out in their respective genres. As a rather clean-cut sound Rascal Flatts have managed to become one of the more popular and less-challenging bands that are still around today.
Here are some of their songs as used in movies and TV.
5. Dancing With The Stars – Here Comes Goodbye
Dancing With The Stars is a show that managed to inspire a lot of people and has been something that’s entertaining to watch and simply experience for the great musical talents that they’ve brought onto the show. Now and again a dancer might miss a beat or step the wrong way in the heat of the moment but for the most part just about every person that comes onto the stage is very professional in their act and doesn’t miss a beat. The music that’s provided is always entertaining and pleasing to listen to and in the case of many songs the dancing is matched up very well to the beat.
4. Evan Almighty – Revolution
Though it didn’t fair too well in comparison to Bruce Almighty this movie still had it’s funny moments thanks to Steve Carell. Revisiting the character of Evan Baxter he is now a congressman that is seeking to gain a solid reputation in Washington DC, the only problem is that God has another plan for him and decides to interrupt his life to teach him a valuable lesson about random acts of kindness. You can imagine a person’s surprise at being told they’ve purchased additional empty lots, enough lumber to build a boat of gigantic proportions, and must house a wide assortment of animals that in many cases would be natural enemies. Yeah, it got a little silly, but in a good way.
3. Heaven is for Real – Compass
Everyone wants to believe, but then everyone also wants to see heaven in order to believe the words of those that claim it to be real. When Colton goes on to describe things that he couldn’t have possibly known following an emergency surgery, his father, who is a pastor, has to come to grips with just what this might mean. Eventually he does choose the right path and supports his son, preaching to others over this and imploring them to listen. Colton is by no means a medium in the movie, but he’s someone that has been given the proof that heaven is in fact real and that it is a place beyond our world.
2. Rascal Flatts – My Wish
This band has managed to stick together for the past 18 years pretty easily it might seem since their style of music and their ability to entertain an audience has been seen to attract a large number of people to their cause. They’ve also been seen to be a very charitable group as they’ve pushed for music education to be granted to those students that are lacking in said studies. They’ve also been involved with the Make A Wish foundation as well, proving just a little more that they’re the kind of band that’s going to pull for the people and try to unite them in a positive way.
1. Cars – Life is a Highway
Cars was kind of a surprise when it first came out but really it shouldn’t have been. After all we’ve seen talking animals and appliances as well as furniture in the past, so a talking automobile shouldn’t have been too unexpected. But the story of Lightning McQueen was fairly interesting since it showed how he was a young, cocky rookie that thought he knew everything and thought of no one but himself to begin with. When he was forced to remain in a small, out of the way town and repair the damages he’d caused however he had to take a long, hard look at his life and figure out what was really important. Obviously Rascal Flatts didn’t write the original song but they did a good job of performing it and kind of updating it for this movie.
If you’re not a country fan then Rascal Flatts might not be for you, but there are plenty of people that enjoy their music and aren’t tied to one genre.
