Extremely vague movie title request

Can anyone tell me the name of a US film from some years back, the theme music was similar to a recent McDonalds advert, possibly played on the glockenspiel.
The basic storyline is a young couple on the run from a mobster/ mafia type gang, possibly connected to the girls father, they have a car and hide out in a motel. I remember the music being very poignant, and he film being a bit violent in parts.
I know this is very vague and a bit of a stab in the dark:o

The version in True Romance is not the original but Hans Zimmers reworking of it. However, that same theme has been used and plagiarised endlessly on various tv adverts, and used in a few other movies.
This is the original from Badlands...incidentally True Romance was a kind of homage to this movie anyway -

The original piece is called Gassenhaur by Carl Orrf.
I still think it's True Romance, not Badlands.
True Romance has the couple on the run from the mafia, including Christopher Walken and James Gandolfini. Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette. And they do hang out in motels quite a lot.
Dennis Hopper as Slaters father also figures extensively.
There was no mafia or motels involved in the original Badlands, which was made in1972, whereas True Romance is 1993.
Check out the trailer for both -

Thanks, it WAS True romance!
When I watched the trailor for Badlands I kind of recognised it as being the film I was referring to but thought my memory of the film wasn't so good, but having just watched the clip from True Love, it all came back to me:D
Thanks everyone for your replies.
Did the same music feature in both films?
Dad Savage?
It may well have been, have you seen this film?
