So much for all your highbrow, Marxist ways.

Man, does anyone else remember this song and video? I bet Summer does, at least. This song is totally going into my screenplay with a bunch of other mid-to-late '90s gems. Anyone else have suggestions for '90s songs I could include? I'm not really married to any of the songs yet, so the more the merrier.

oh CRAP yes, ha. i don't remember the video at all, but i TOTALLY remember the song...wasn't it on a private tape? i think we had worked it into a mr. coates joke, maybe? or...something?

Haha yeah, I think we incorporated it into a censored show or two. I was actually listening to one of our private tapes a couple weeks ago! I think it was the second one, or maybe the third. I forget. I apparently have a lot of them sitting in my basement.

And OH MY GOD. THE PAYLOADER SONG!!! Hahaha. I completely forgot about that song!! The video looks like it was filmed on a $50 budget. Awesome. What was that singer's name? And yeah, it seems like famous people were a lot more...normal back then.

AND: now, i'm going through tons of 90's videos on youtube for nostalgia's sake....and i found the PAYLOADER song!

so...cheesy. but isn't it amazing how singers actually sort of used to look like normal people that you might run into at the convenience store?

Also, Allie and I were watching a lot of old '90s videos on youtube last night, too! I think we watched the entire Ace of Base video collection. They surprisingly had a lot of videos.

I remember it too. It's a great song, but be careful. Movies that revolve too much around their soundtrack turn out like Garden State. And by "like Garden State" I mean "wallowing in cliche and shoddy writing," or "failing to deliver anything other than a mediocre soundtrack that makes it painfully obvious that someone spent too much time on it," or "shitty."

That said, I have two words: Luscious Jackson.

Haha I know you don't like Garden State, but I liked it. Yeah, some of the lines definitely made me go, "Oh God. No, that song is NOT going to change your life! Why would you even say that?" But overall, I thought it was a good movie. I'm not going to rely too heavily on music, though. If anything, it would be background music for when the main character is working at her retail store. I'm worrying about quality of the actual script before anything else.

And I thought about Luscious Jackson, "Naked Eye"! Haha.
