When you get done with that one - Eric Clapton - Wonderful Tonight (was just playing on LITE radio)

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 18:53 (twenty-one years ago)

The Model: A weathered private detective lumbers across a foggy vacant lot on the outskirts of the big city in extreme slow motion, intercut with close-ups of his stubble and the pistol in his holster. Smoke from his cigarette swirls hypnotically against the darkening dusk sky.

Old 97's-The New Kid (because it has been in my head all day)

― jocelyn (Jocelyn), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 18:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Wonderful Tonight: The time: the distant future. A lost exploration team has stumbled into an abandoned emcampment on the planet Lothos. They find a rusted cobwebbed machine. After fiddling with the electronics, the brainiac of the crew turns the knobs. The atmosphere grows tense as silence and occasional static are the only sounds they hear. Suddenly, just when things are looking bleak, "Wonderful Tonight" by Eric Clapton crackles through at full volume. "This...signal has been...travelling through space for a thousand years! It was originally broadcast from Earth in 1982 and is just reaching us now!" Using this information, the brainiac is able to calculate how far they are from home, while the hero and his love interest waltz in the background with tears in their eyes.

"Rainy Night in Georgia" - Brook Benton

― Smokin' funk by the boxes (kenan), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 19:06 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm not familiar with "Rainy Night in Georgia," I don't think. I also don't know that specific Joel RL Phelps song, but based on the ones I know, I'll say:
Scene: generic public high school gym. Gym class. It's badminton day. Nerdy yet good guy is teamed up with popular jock jerk whom he idolizes. Nerd manages to hold his own through most of game, but misses climactic defending shot, allowing other team to win. Cue Jole RL Phelps as film shifts into slow-mo, popular jerk grimaces, yells, and tosses racket at weepy nerd.

Aces, the opening lines of KGF are "Goodbye Kelly Grand Forks doesn't love you anymore" which fits perfectly if, as I think, there's supposed to be a comma between Kelly and Grand.

Ok, Something About Us: Genre: 'quirky' movie a la Wes Anderson or I Heart Huckabees. Scene: a dorkily handsome young man nonverbally flirts with a statuesque stewardess, and vice versa, while the airplane is going through extreme turbulence.

― n/a (Nick A.), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 19:49 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm not familiar with "Rainy Night in Georgia," I don't think.

You probably are. The refrain is "seems like it's rainin' all over the world."

Hoverin' by my suitcase, tryin' to find a warm place to spend the night
Heavy rain fallin', seems I hear your voice callin' "It's all right"...

Neon signs a-flashin', taxi cabs and buses passin' through the night
A distant moanin' of a train seems to play a sad refrain to the night
A rainy night in Georgia, such a rainy night in Georgia
Lord, I believe it's rainin' all over the world
I feel like it's rainin' all over the world

On second thought, no movie scene is really necessary here.

so wild is the wind is a Raising Arizona deleted scene?

― kephm (kephm), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 19:54 (twenty-one years ago)

Hey by the Pixies: This one's kind of obvious, but: Dorky but sweet teenage girl finally gets up the courage to flirt with her crush, dorkily cute but sweet teenage boy. She drops a note on his table in the library and spys on him nervously through the stacks as he reads it. She almost runs out from being too scared, but just then, he finishes reading and looks up with a big goofy grin on his face. She smiles from her hiding place.

― n/a (Nick A.), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 19:55 (twenty-one years ago)

I thought of how that sounds like Raising Arizona, but it's not supposed to be scary, it's like they're on a journey together.

― Smokin' funk by the boxes (kenan), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 19:58 (twenty-one years ago)

Golden Hours: Our hero, an idealistic young man, walks through a waving field of wheat, and stops to lie down and read a book. He quickly falls into a peaceful slumber, which leads us to a dream sequence where he floats under the ocean, fully dressed, while beautiful mermaids circle around him.

― n/a (Nick A.), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 19:58 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm realizing how hard it is for me to think of a song that doesn't automatically insert its own story into my head, whether it's via the lyrics or some association I have with it. Weird, yet interesting!

― sgs (sgs), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 20:03 (twenty-one years ago)

Jack & Diane: Country cousin teaches city cousin how to line-dance (oh girl, you country folk are BUGGIN'!), then city cousin teaches country cousin how to hip hop dance (you city folk are CA-RAY-ZEE!). They end up collapsing on the floor giggling and hugging.

Kanye West - Through The Wire

― Hurting (Hurting), Wednesday, 13 October 2004 21:29 (twenty-one years ago)

Through the Wire: A nebbishy middle-aged white guy (Robin Williams?) has to break into the house he used to share with his (now ex-)wife to get the documents out of his office safe. He tries shimmying up a palm tree to access the second-floor window, but a coconut falls out of the tree and hits him on the head. As he clings to the tree, trying not to fall, he hears sirens: the neighbors spotted him lurking around the yard and called the police! He slowly works his way down the tree, hand over hand, and drops into the yard. The flashing lights of the police cars are visible against the side of the house. He sprints off the other way, tries to jump the fence, but in doing so tears his pants on the wire, leaving a small scrap of cloth which the police will find.

Love/Hate - Why Do You Think They Call It Dope

I don't even have an idea of what the Legendary Stardust Cowboy and Love/Hate songs sound like, so I'm not going to attempt those.
Detachable Penis: Something similar to the sex scene in Fight Club; a shockingly kinky sex scene in a vaguely nihilistic film. Lots of blurry slow motion, bloody scratches down the back, neck nibbles, etc. Perhaps even a wild woman dominating a bland guy sexually.

Fiery Furnaces: A middle-aged woman paddles a canoe out to the middle of a lake at dawn. She smokes a cigarette and looks contemplative.

Delays (I have no idea what this sounds like either, but I'm guessing some kind of Brit-poppy alternarock thing): Scene: fast food stand at food court in mall where teenage boy #1 works. Song plays in the background as teenage boy #1 talks to teenage boy #2 about his upcoming hot date. Meanwhile, teenage boy #2 restocks napkin holder and wipes down counter. Scene ends when overweight supervisor yells at t.b.#2 to "Get yer punk ass back to work!"

Nancy Sinatra - Let Me Kiss You

― Gravel Puzzleworth (Gregory Henry), Tuesday, 9 November 2004 17:52 (twenty-one years ago)

Nancy Sinatra - Montage scene in which a middle-aged female reporter has to disguise herself as a high school student in order to infiltrate the school for her hard-hitting report on sexism in high school sports. As the song plays, she tries on various "personas," including cheerleader (pom-poms, short skirt), metal head (Metallic shirt, leather pants), nerd (black rimmed glasses, pencil protector), etc. before settling on an outfit that, ironically, looks almost like what she was wearing when she was dressed in her regular clothes.

Who is that by? (I don't know that song and I need some idea of what it sounds like)

― n/a (Nick A.), Thursday, 9 June 2005 19:19 (twenty years ago)

It's by Albert Hammond. It's a very famous song from the seventies.

But never mind. How about "I Got You, Babe".

― accentmonkey (accentmonkey), Thursday, 9 June 2005 19:20 (twenty years ago)

"I Got You Babe"
Used "ironically" in a slasher/thriller movie, when the scary bad guy goes on a slo-mo machete rampage in a crowded shopping mall. Gory knife shots are intercut with shopping bags flying in the air, a boy's baseball cap floating in a fountain, etc.

"There She Goes" by the La's

― accentmonkey (accentmonkey), Thursday, 9 June 2005 19:32 (twenty years ago)

"Why" - Annie Lennox
Hospital, elderly woman is lapsing in and out of consciousness. Doctors come in and out, checking her readings, IV tubes, etc. The sun sets behind the gauzy hospital curtains. Close-up of her emotionless, empty face. Suddenly, her son walks into the frame, holding a bouquet of flowers. But it's too late: she is dead.

― n/a (Nick A.), Thursday, 9 June 2005 19:38 (twenty years ago)

"There She Goes" - The La's
Our hero, a goofy but lovable security guard (played by Diedrich Bader) in a large office building, stands at his post as the morning commuters get to their jobs. A succession of lovely women walks by, and he gazes dreamily at each one, with tenderness, not leeringly, because he wants love, not lust.

― n/a (Nick A.), Thursday, 9 June 2005 19:40 (twenty years ago)

I can't believe I never posted this! From my blog:

Accelerator: A film inspired and soundtracked by Royal Trux's album "Accelerator"
Plot synopsis

1. "I'm Ready" - opening credits. As soon as the song abruptly explodes into existence, our hero is shown sitting straight up in bed in shock, facing the camera. As the song and credits continue, a sped-up montage shows him brushing his teeth, getting dressed, eating breakfast, walking out the front door, looking for a few seconds at an abused, dented dune buggy that sits in the family garage (foreshadowing), and riding his bike to school.
2. "Yellow Kid" - Hero sits mournfully in bathroom stall, having just been confronted by school bullies for being the "weird new kid" in front of an attractive young girl. He slams the bathroom wall with his fist in desperation. He IS the eponymous "Yellow Kid."
3. "The Banana Question" - Having gotten news that dune buggy racing is the hot teen activity in his new town, our hero decides to fix up his brother's old dune buggy, despite the fact that his brother was killed in a freak dune buggy accident. Another montage sequence ensues as he tightens bolts, polishes roll bars, gets squirted with oil, etc. Good wholesome teenage fun.
4. "Another Year" - Plays behind slo-mo footage of the race, the camera whips around often so the footage is blurred and chaotic. Sand flies as the buggies leap over the dunes, hanging suspended in the air. Our hero thinks he has a grasp on first place, but in an accident eerily close to the one that killed his brother, he spins out and collides with a palm tree.
5. "Juicy Juice" - Our hero, his arm now in a cast, has given up on dune buggy racing, has resigned himself to being unpopular for the rest of high school, and has taken a job working at an ice cream store in a mall. But who should walk in but the attractive girl from his school! As the camera slowly pans over her nubile young body, this song plays.
6. "Liar" - Our hero is confronted by his parents, who are angry that he has been racing and are afraid that he will be killed like his brother. But our hero is starting to regain his confidence and needs a way to impress the girl, so he rebels and says he will race in the state championship that weekend, and there's nothing they can do about it. Doors are slammed, tears are shed.
7. "New Bones" - Our hero and the girl have quickly fallen in love, he has confessed his fears of ever racing his dune buggy again, but she convinces him that he needs to race, and win, to honor his brother's memory. They kiss shyly, then passionately. Then they get really high on mushrooms and screw. This controversial scene earns "Accelerator" an NC-17 rating.
8. "Follow the Winner" - The climactic race. Spurred on by new love and his fresh lack of virginity, our hero has grown into a virile, manly specimen who intimidates the other racers with his masculine charm, making this an easy win for him. The lesson learned: Dune buggy racing is a sport of confidence and mind games, not to be trifled with by the weak.
9. "Stevie" - Following the award ceremony, the girl and the hero jump into the dune buggy and ride off into the sunset. Closing credits.

Drive She Said - Stan Ridgway

― You fondle my trigger then you blame my gun / Kate (papa november), Thursday, 9 June 2005 22:43 (twenty years ago)

"Be True to Your School"
A tense staff meeting in a corporate boardroom. It has been discovered that funds are missing from the corporate accounts, and someone in this room is the culprit! The camera veers wildly around the table, showing expressions of panic, queasiness, suspicion, then zooms into the table, where the big boss slams his fist. He says "MR. STEVENS - YOU ARE FIRED, YOU'LL BE HEARING FROM OUR LAWYERS!" Security guards come in, escort Mr. Stevens out as he protests his innocence. The meeting breaks up, and as the other staff members walk back out into the office, "Be True to Your School" fades in and the camera zooms in on Mr. Wilson (Christian Bale), who has a subtle devious smirk on his face.

Boards of Canada - "Turquoise Hexagon Sun"
A man attempts to commit suicide by jumping off a cruise liner into the ocean. The music starts once he is underwater. At first there is only darkness, then we get subtle flashes of brightly colored fish. A glowing object in the distance comes closer, until we see that it is a beautiful mermaid, who pulls him into a cave in a reef, where he passes out.

This Heat - "Paper Hats"

― Ian Riese-Moraine. Exposing ambitious careerists as charlatans since 1986. (East, Friday, 10 June 2005 18:38 (twenty years ago)

Oh, I know EXACTLY what This Heat sounds like.

This Heat - "Paper Hats"

Nightmare (or is it a nightmare?) scene - young boy is running through an enormous garden maze. We get quick glimpses of sinister jesters, oozing slime, etc. When the song gets to the part where it speeds up, he thinks something is behind me, he spins around, spins back, and starts running frantically. He skids around corners, gets scraped by branches. Finally, he gets so crazed the he runs through the wall of the maze and collapses on a patch of grass (cue long slow ending of song). He is bloodied, bruised, and breathing hard, but a stream of sunlight breaks through the gloom.

― n/a (Nick A.), Friday, 10 June 2005 18:54 (twenty years ago)

Excellent. I always thought of it as a bloke getting some shocking bad news - maybe his wife's having an affair, or he's going to die, or something - and the music accompanies him walking home through the city streets in a daze, completely unaware of everything around him.

― Teh HoBB (the pirate king), Friday, 10 June 2005 20:05 (twenty years ago)
