It's mostly about the rhythm, actually.

"Por una cabeza" It is royalty free due tu family reasons. That´s why they use it in all films.  It´s about a horse race, you know, "By a head" . So it has nothing to do with anything of any movie. It is used by those who make films and don´t have idea of what are doing and obviously wont pay for argentine music.
