I run it up the flagPOLL: American Pie soundtrack

This poll is the fault of the Most ridiculous "news" item on Pitchfork regarding the horribly overhyped crapfest known as The National's High Violet thread for somehow getting Barenaked Ladies lodged in my mind. Anyway, the list is certainly, um, evocative of a certain era. Pointless fact: there are seven American Pie films. Pointlesser fact: Songs without numbers appeared in the film, but not the soundtrack.

1. "Mrs. Robinson," 2. "Flagpole Sitta," 3. "Semi-Charmed Life"; three that I really do love.

its flagpole sitta vs semi-charmed life, because who is like "ohhh mrs robinson... oh right, from AMERICAN PIE"?

You mean it's in another movie too?

clemenza, Wednesday, 12 May 2010 22:22 (sixteen years ago)

I don't care I'm not not voting Simon and Garfunkel.

A write-in for "Laid" that was in the trailers but not the movie.

I do wonder where all the b-division pop-punk bands went. Maybe they emerge in vast swarms every 17 years, like locusts.

I particularly remember hearing James - "Laid" in the marketing for some of the later American Pie films because I started listening to that song only months before it was on the commericals (plus Brian Eno produced that James album)
