I don't know why they aren't showing but a workaround would be to select the song in iTunes, right click and select "Show in Finder". Using the Finder you can then drag and drop the song file directly from your iTunes library into your iMovie event pane. (This will make a copy of it in your iMovie library, leaving the original in iTunes)
