"I Need to Wake Up" from "An Inconvenient Truth," Melissa Etheridge

I can't imagine this being anything but terrifying(ly bad).

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 25 January 2007 07:07 (eighteen years ago)

The performances may be less lively this year.

So is there an Inconvenient Truth soundtrack with remixes and mashups and stuff on it?

No witches jumping ship, no credibility.

was there any rap this year? i didn't notice.

I still think that godawful pop punk band's title song from 'Snakes on a Plane' was the best song from a movie this year, seriously.

Captain Ahab are pop punk?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 25 January 2007 16:25 (eighteen years ago)

I'm one of the few who genuinely liked Cornell's Bond theme.

They really screwed Beyonce over with their arbitrary "only three people can be nominated for a song" rule.

― The Brainwasher (Twilight), Thursday, 25 January 2007 17:11 (eighteen years ago)

is Randy Newman nominated every year or what? How many fuckin Oscars does that guy have?

― Shakey Mo Collier (Shakey Mo Collier), Thursday, 25 January 2007 17:16 (eighteen years ago)

oh my god what's that melissa etheridge song where she's like "i wanna run, i wanna live" all triumphant as the chorus

it's like, distressing.

― surmounter (rra123), Thursday, 25 January 2007 17:17 (eighteen years ago)

Hey, at least John Williams isn't nominated this year.

― The Brainwasher (Twilight), Thursday, 25 January 2007 17:17 (eighteen years ago)

Spoon was also eligible, for that song from Stranger Than Fiction.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 25 January 2007 17:18 (eighteen years ago)

I'm guessing Desplat wins for Score: it's the only one I've heard any buzz about.

― jaymc (jaymc), Thursday, 25 January 2007 17:18 (eighteen years ago)

I remember the score being the best thing about many parts of "Babel".

― Simon H. (Simon H.), Thursday, 25 January 2007 17:25 (eighteen years ago)

Captain Ahab are pop punk?

Not that one - I meant "Cobra Starship" - the official title was 'Snakes on a Plane (Bring It)'

― Tiki Theater Xymposium (Bent Over at the Arclight), Thursday, 25 January 2007 17:26 (eighteen years ago)

is Randy Newman nominated every year or what? How many fuckin Oscars does that guy have?

Stop bothering with the truth, Alex, we like our lies.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 25 January 2007 17:33 (eighteen years ago)

Does Randy Newman just give Pixar the same song for each film, with a couple of words changed?

"I Need to Wake Up" from "An Inconvenient Truth," Melissa Etheridge

I can't imagine this being anything but terrifying(ly bad).

Is it no surprise she now looks like Dolores O'Riordan at the height of her "I AM THE MORAL LAW" period?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 25 January 2007 18:34 (eighteen years ago)

They should've just used Ella doing "Too Darn Hot".

― God Bows to Meth (noodle vague), Thursday, 25 January 2007 18:36 (eighteen years ago)

― say it with blood diamonds (a_p), Thursday, 25 January 2007 18:42 (eighteen years ago)

Yes, that would've been better. Possibly "Disco Inferno".

― God Bows to Meth (noodle vague), Thursday, 25 January 2007 18:48 (eighteen years ago)
