Given the propensity for remake threads, & irrespective of how ghastly a thought a remake is, let's go the whole hog & really ruin things with a musical.
Chrissie, post attack & just before death, could perform 'I Left My Heart (Lungs & Kidneys) in Martha's Vineyard'.
Mayor Vaughan could then pop up with When Things Go Wrong, by Buster Brown.
Jesus & Mary Chain's 'Amputation' could be whistled by the estuary victim.
On & off throughout the 2nd half, Quint, with unwitting foresight, could be humming / singing Half the Man I Used To Be.
Roll Out the Barrel could be incorporated into the JW score
Brody could sing Tanks for the Memory, recalling Hooper's warning as the shark bursts through the boat's window.
Any other ideas? -

Great thread, Fud-ster!
How about "Red Red Wine" by UB40 as Brody quaffs the majority of Hooper's offerings.
Coldplay's "A Sky Full of Stars" as they emerge from their drinking sesh closely followed by The Beatles' "Twist and Shout" as Quint gets gobbled.

Haha!
I guess we should incorporate Lady Gaga's "Poker Face" in there somewhere! Any ideas? How about when Vaughn is on the ferry trying to convince the Chief it was a boating accident?

I like Red Red Wine, but perhaps it could be better employed when Kintner spurts his guts all over the place?!
All the tourists can break out into
Summer Holiday
when they arrive at the island prior to Kintner kid unwillingly spilling his guts. Mrs Kintner will be singing the Bee Gees
To Love Somebody
when confronting Brody.
Hooper will get a solo number when checking out Chrissie's remains in the tiny tub….
Once Bitten Twice Shy
by Great White. Brody and the coroner will chime in during
the woman you're a mess
verse:
Well the times are gettin' hard for you little girl
I'm a hummin' and a strummin' all over God's world
You can't remember when you got your last meal
And you don't know just how a woman feels
You didn't know what rock 'n' roll was
Until you met my drummer on the grey tour bus
I got there in the nick of time
Before he got his hands across your state line, yeah
Now it's the middle of the night on the open road
The heater don't work and it's oh, so cold
You're lookin' tired, you're lookin' kinda beat
The rhythm of the street sure knocks you off your feet
You didn't know how rock 'n' roll looked
Until you caught your sister with the guys from the group
Halfway home in the parkin' lot
By the look in her eye she was givin' what she got
I said my, my, my, I'm once bitten twice, shy babe
My, my, my, I'm once bitten twice shy baby
My, my, my, I'm once bitten twice shy baby
Ah, woman, you're a mess, gonna die in your sleep
There's blood on my amp and my Les Paul's beat
Can't keep you home, you're messin' around
My best friend told me you're the best lick in town
You didn't know that rock 'n' roll burned
So you bought a candle and you lived and you learned
You got the rhythm, you got the speed
Mama's little baby likes it short and sweet
I said my, my, my, I'm once bitten twice, shy baby
My, my, my, I'm once bitten twice shy babe
My, my, my, I'm once bitten twice shy baby
Alright!
I didn't know you had a rock 'n' roll record
Until I saw your picture on another guy's jacket
You told me I was the only one
But look at you now, it's dark as it's done
Oh my, my, my, I'm once bitten twice, shy babe
My, my, my, I'm once bitten twice shy baby
My, my, my, I'm once bitten twice shy baby
My, my, my, I'm once bitten twice, shy
So shy
Oh so shy
So shy, baby
So shy
So shy, so shy
So, so shy, so shy
Norman! What did you put in my tea? -

How about "My Favorite Things" when Hooper is opening the shark.
Hooper breaks into "Ben" when he finds the shark tooth.
"Ya got Trouble" at the town meeting.
Oh man I'm getting way too in to this.
"Something's Coming".. Brody at the discovery of Chrissy's body.. -

Sadly, Hooper and Quint singing 'Anything You Can Do' on the Orca.
As Mrs Kintner turns away, Chief Brody grabs her by the arm and sings
'Shot through the heart
and you're to blame
darlin' you give love a bad name'.
All the little devils are proud of Hell. -

It's a hideous thought, but perhaps Quint would have surprised us with a mellifluous & honey-toned baritone voice to compliment Hooper's impeccable countertenor.
Following the horror of Brody's nasty, dock-side serenade, perhaps there'd be room for the estuary victim to launch into Andy Fairweather-Low's 'Wide-Eyed & Legless'I guess it would be a little unsubtlemaybe Bob Dylan's 'Blood in my Thighs' would be better
