You think you love That Thing You Do! now, wait’ll you see the new extended cut:

It’s actually longer that what’s listed: 146 minutes (with about 10 of those being closing credits). Btw, pay no attention to the guy in the footnote, he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
Look here:

Hey Bet, I almost did “What’s He Got?” by The Producers. But, like you, I was troubled that they answered it for us (“He’s got you, that’s what he’s got, that’s what he’s got—HEY!”) Plus, I was at a loss for a good answer song.
I considered “Whatever Lola Wants” by Sarah Vaughan, the implication being that he’s got whatever Lola wants. That would also have been a good sellout song, having been featured in a Levis commercial in the late ‘90s.
Okay, I’m going to stop now before this spirals into a never-ending comment.
Hey where am I? It’s cold and dark and I can’t feel my toes! Talk about a fucking lowlight…
You haven’t consumated the relationship with Stripe?
WHAT ARE YA WAITING FOR??
The theme to the new Galactica series can’t really be sung, I agree, but it’s very exciting none the less. Lots of drums—which always fires me up. The score for the series is also heavily influenced by Scottish music, so, as a Scottish American
I am biased.
As for the Doctor Who theme, it actually is a song (sorry, Bet) and is singable even! The newest version is quite fun to listen to. Really fires one up for adventuring through time and space.
Yes, it’s true, I’m a GEEK.
I agree with you on the Hitchhiker’s theme—it’s actually called “Journey of the Sourcerer” by the Eagles, and is a ringer on my cell phone (along with the new Doctor Who theme).
Star Trek theme lyrics:
Beyond the rim of the starlight,
my love is wandring in star flight.
I know he’ll find
In star clustered reaches
Love, strange love
A starwoman teaches.
I know his journey ends never.
His Star Trek will go on forever.
But tell him while
He wanders his starry sea,
Remember,
Remember me.
You must think I just make this shit up!
“Brick” is great. I completely agree with you on the “4 stars” thing.
Been there on the wiped iPod front. 🙁 That sucks. I’ve lost the contents of both of my iPods at least once. I also keep them both set to manual and the losses were always due to bugs in the iPod software updates. Always beware the updates! Wait a week or two and check ilounge.com or tuaw.com to see if the updates are buggy or not.
I enjoyed alternate tracks! I’m sorry I wasn’t able to make time to join in the fun. Hopefully I’ll be invited again
Bet didn’t finish with her “and I am Bet” redux thing!
Well, if numbers are what you want—here’s one. 4876. Discuss.
Bet, Wow – wish I could have seen the marching band doing the Bandstand Boogie.
Stennie – absolutely loved your impersonation of Bet hating Green Acres. That made me smile.
All things considered. Stennie – very nice.
I loved Encyclopedia Brown.
