Abstrakt: This article discusses the motivations for the use of popular songs as comic allusions in contemporary cinema. The use of songs as ironic commentary may be viewed as a particular configuration of postmodern culture, where a very self-conscious mode of textual address is situated within a larger network of intertextual references. The use of popular music in such ironic modes in the film Con Air has become an ever more important part of cinematic signification.
