It's music festival season, so Cesar and Greg turn up their amplifiers to 11 and take a look at their top music performances from the films they love. From cult punk bands and dead mariachis to dueling banjos and Scottish maypole dancers, they explore the cinematic ear worms and performances that just won't go away.
"I have to sing. The music is not just in me, it 'is' me." - Ernesto de la Cruz
