I like these songs, but they're all over the place.
"La Grange" - ZZ Top
"Green Onions" - Booker T and the MGs (you may not recognize this title, but you'll recognize the tune)
"Tequila" - The Champs
Huge Beastie Boys fan here, but "Sabotage" is used way too much.

I just know of "Sabotage" used in those Star Trek films. And that was a pretty weird choice...liked those movies, but that kind of took me out of it. Now that I think of it, "Sabotage" is probably more overused in trailers than actual movies. It's a great riff, so who could blame them. Another bit of overused trailer music is the theme from "Dragonheart." I've even caught ESPN using this for The Masters' or the US Open. In Tiger's heyday, they'd cue his arm movements with the big crash cymbal hit. Made me laugh everytime. And here's probably my favorite use of it... |

Back In Black by A/C D/C. Nothing against A/C D/C but that particular song has become a movie cliché.

Though they all great and could never be overused in my book

Marilyn Manson's cover of Sweet Dreams seemed to be in a lot of teen/horror movies in the late 90s/early 2000s....
