  2. Skyfall
  3. No Time To Die
  4. Spectre
  5. Quantum of Solace

The album American Idiot was released on September 21, 2004, and is now around 20 years old

Twenty years has gone so fast

Wake me up when September ends

What the song was about:

One of the songs in American Idiot, "Wake Me Up When September Ends", is not entirely related to the album's central narrative.[6][7] The song was inspired by the death of lead singer Billie Joe Armstrong's father in September 1982.[5] On the day of his father's funeral, Armstrong reportedly ran home, locked himself in his room, and when his mother came to check on him, he told her to wake him up when September ended,[8] and held onto the song title for several years after.[9] In an interview with the Howard Stern Show, Armstrong said that he initially avoided writing a song about his father for years, until he "[had] a breakthrough" and created "Wake Me Up When September Ends" in his honor.[

What the music video was about:

Bayer envisioned the video as a mini-movie,[50] wanting to create something unlike other music videos that he felt were predictable.[49] Bayer brought the idea of an Iraq War-themed video to the band after interviewing soldiers who had signed up to fight after being persuaded by a television advertisement.[51] Bayer also said that he wanted the music video to be more political than the album's other music videos, saying that he "wanted kids to talk about the war," and felt that MTV had not spread awareness of the conflict and its consequences on soldiers.[13] Although it was not the song's original meaning, Armstrong felt it was appropriate.[52] Bayer and his crew spent a month casting actors for the roles and conducted rehearsals, which was uncommon for music videos.

I didn't like that finale.

The characters felt lifeless, like they were all doing a loose parody of themselves. Even the "oh lord" felt like a reference. The one scene which felt genuine was when Bender shot the can opener and took a nap.

At least we have the older seasons to constantly rewatch.

I subscribed to the channel after coming across one of their other covers. Each one is excellent

The first set was Nancy Drew + Hardy Boys (+ Tom Swift for the professor? I'm not familiar with that one). The other thread has a comment that there was a popular series in Germany by a different name for those stories "The Three Investigators"

The Bender story was encyclopedia brown I believe

 

Probably my favorite this season, so many childhood characters

 

Not American, just liked the music

I was thinking about how I missed music videos. Found this one and thought it could use more subscribers

Captain here

This

Flies away

 

This song came on while I was getting ready this morning

Forget Me Nots - Patrice Rushen (1982)

Original non-remastered version

I had to stop for a quick clap clap each time

 

I love this aesthetic

 

The idea makes me uncomfortable and I can't explain why

If you attended, how did you find the show? I couldn't make it this time

I started this, and never got started: https://lemmy.ca/c/musicleague

Part of the problem was that musicleague only works with a spotify login, but it could work with a fediverse login!

MusicLeague: https://musicleague.com/user-guide/

  1. Each league is made up of a certain number of rounds.
  2. Each round has a musical theme, like ‘covers’ or ‘I want your sax.'
  3. When the round opens, league players are notified to submit a song that fits the theme.
  4. When everyone has submitted (or the submission deadline arrives), everyone receives a link to the playlist to listen, consider, and then return to Music League to assign points and add comments to reminisce, toast and maybe a gentle roast.
  5. Once the votes are in, everyone will be able to see the results, including who submitted what, how everyone voted, and all the comments.
  6. Points are earned from round to round and accumulate through the entire league until a winner is crowned.

What we can do better:

  • fediverse login instead of spotify
  • submit from any music service, not just spotify
  • multiple playlist options, with a note for when a certain song isn't on a service

This shouldn't be an annual event, but rather a perpetual one

This belongs in !bestoflemmy@lemmy.world.

I remember in school when we covered these, we were trying to find examples of all the combinations but we couldn't get some of them.

Saving this!

 

The visuals, I just think they're neat

40 minutes worth of new wallpaper material

Man must pay for all his misdeeds. When the treetops are stripped of their leaves whoaaaa ohhhhh

Oh Woah, one of these?

Two lines of the song are sung by the inmate Murphy in the 1992 film Alien 3 immediately prior to his death. Brief snippets are played in "The Time Is Now", the second-season finale of the TV show Millennium, which depicts an apocalyptic event. The song was rewritten and used as the introductory theme for the 2000 TV series Cleopatra 2525. In 2010, it was parodied as "In the Year 252525" in the seventh episode of Futurama's sixth season, "The Late Philip J. Fry", as Fry, Professor Farnsworth and Bender travel forwards through time to find a period in which the backwards time machine has been invented.[18] The song acts as an aesthetic theme to the film Gentlemen Broncos.[19] The BBC Radio series 2525, a sketch show set in the year 2525, featured a cover of the song with its first lyric as its introductory theme.
