How can we make it so more movies are based on songs?
I can only think of a few off the top of my head:
1. Convoy-A bunch of truckers form an enormous trans-US truck convoy in protest of high gas prices or something, which provokes an armed response from the US (the military is called out to keep an eye on them, at least in the song).

2. Coward of the County-I think this is was a TV movie, with the songwriter Kenny Rogers as a character in. In the song at least, a boy whose dying father exhorted him not to get into fights (and who becomes a pacifist as a result) is despised by most of his peers as the titular coward and some punks rape his wife. In the song, he snaps and puts the hurt on all three of them (possibly killing them with a gun, as the song describes how he "watched the last one fall," which implies killing them from a distance). Not sure what happens in the film.

3. The Gambler-It looks like a bunch of films based on Kenny Rogers song "The Gambler" got made too.

So how could there be some more?
The only idea I've got is a movie based on the Eagles' song "Hurry Sundown." A bunch of Gypsies call forth an undead gunslinger from the Old West to avenge the murder of one of their own, but they can't control him.
