English term or phrase: needle drop
Olá, colegas.

Preciso de ajuda para traduzir o termo acima. Entendo que se trata de um trocadilho relacionado ao meio musical, mas não consigo pensar em uma tradução adequada. Contexto:

"Destiny Child's "Say My Name" is an appropriately titled needle drop for a movie about an urban legend summoned by repeating his name over and over."

Obrigada!

Christina.

Música marcante
Explanation:
No cinema, são músicas conhecidas (isto é, que não foram compostas especialmente para um filme) utilizadas em cenas para criar um determinado efeito. Essas músicas, posteriormente, podem acabar vinculadas ao filme no imaginário popular. Por isso, sugiro traduzir como "música marcante".

Possíveis definições:
A 'Needle Drop' is a film industry slang term for when film makers use a piece of popular music as one of the main focal points of a sequence - moments where audio and visuals become forever interlinked.

Many films are remembered for their brilliant stories, beautiful cinematography, and dramatic performances, but some go down in history for the interesting, oft peculiar ways they utilize preexisting songs included in the soundtrack. These songs, also called "needle drops", can be used ironically (...)"

digitalizado / remasterizado/ needle drop


Explanation:
Prezada Cristina, o ideal seria um pouco mais de contexto, mas com as definições abaixo, creia que consiga direcionar as opções. Acredito que se trata da segunda alternativa, onde você passa um som/video antigo para o digital.

Needle drop (DJing), a technique used by DJs
Needle drop (audio), a method of transferring analog audio recordings to digital ones
The Needle Drop, a blog/vlog created and run by music critic Anthony Fantano

Música / música conhecida


Explanation:
Needle drop é quando um música conhecida é utilizada para um filme novo.
Neste caso, acho irrelevante indicar que a música é conhecida, uma vez que o texto já informa seu nome (título), concluindo-se que ela já existe e todos a conhecem.

A “needle drop” is slang used in the film industry to describe when a pre-existing song is used in a movie. In the best cases, the audio and video become intertwined to the point where people can’t disassociate the song from the film.
