Okie dokie..

For some reason I started singing this song in class today & now I can't stop. Singing the same line over & over & over & over, to be precise..

"She comes in 16 colors, she'll suck your money dry".

Any ideas what the name of the song it comes from is? & who sings it? It's some really naff, cheesy, bouncy song, if that helps.

It's great.

My work here is done

..

.. now I just need to wait for someone to end my torment & tell me..

Pigman II · 20-05-2003 12:02am

It's called 'Autophilia' by the Bluetones. You can get it on their album 'Science and Nature'

Cherry · 20-05-2003 12:03am

My spirit & I thank you.

Saint-dotsie · 20-05-2003 12:18am

donnie darko,excellent movie!

Cherry · 20-05-2003 12:21am

Yep. One of my favourites ever since I was peer-pressured into watching it.

ThatBloke · 20-05-2003 12:32am

I work in xtra-vision(for my sins) and reccommend it to everyone, event the idiots who i know wouldnt understand it (at least they can listen to the soundtrack)

Any of ya see Requiem for a dream or Pi?

Cherry · 20-05-2003 12:34am

I bought it in XtraVision & the girl pissed herself laughing at me.. scary that.

It does have an excellent soundtrack.

ThatBloke · 20-05-2003 12:38am

hey there's no andidote for ignorance! what store was it? i'll hunt her down and batter her with a fluffy wabbit

Cherry · 20-05-2003 12:40am

The one in Rathmines, in the Swan Centre. It affected me deeply, the horrible, horrible girl.

& no I haven't seen Req for a Dream or Pi. I want to see R.F.A.D though.

ThatBloke · 20-05-2003 12:48am

Aww definitely see RFAD !!! its one of my favourite films, its even better than Donnie Darko and once again the soundtrack is quality, especially the signature tune

Pi is quality, in case ya dont know the one i'm talkin about its the mathematical symbol Pi on the cover, another amazing film and soundtrack, a bit darker than RFAD but just as good

Also the other one i always reccommend - compulsory viewing is - Bowling for Columbine

Cherry · 20-05-2003 12:50am

I've always wanted to see Bowling for Columbine.. never did. I'll buy it on video. Read his book "Stupid White Men" though. That's so amazing.

I recommend it.

ThatBloke · 20-05-2003 12:56am

If ya liked Stupid White Men ya should definitely get Bowling For Columbine

also ya should read a few books by John Pilger or Noam Chomsky, they're the guys Moore gets his inspiration from, they're pretty heavy reading, and ya can't read to many of those type of books in a row cos ya end up all full of rage and banging fire extinguishers off planes in Shannon, but if ya want to know why the world is how it is, they're the best source of info.

Who says I'm not already?

I'll take your suggestions into account but for now I'm off to get some sleep.

Yep Chomsky is the man (I chose Chomsky as my DJ name =P) ... The Chomsky Lecture series are an excellent introduction to his ideas. Since they are all written in conversational English rather than Chomskys writing style, which is complex (he's a professor of linguistics don't ya know).

You can get his books and lectures on CD at:
www.alternativetentacles.com

I must check out some Pilger.

Funkstard · 20-05-2003 5:09pm

Sweet, you like Donnie Darko too? That film is execellent. Crazy but excellent. Listen to 'Gary Jules - Mad World' -you'll know it

DerekD Goldfish · 20-05-2003 7:03pm

Yes donnie darko, pi and boling for columbine are all brilliant this is really starting to look like the film board but who cares.

skinnybassist · 20-05-2003 7:14pm

I'd have to agree with everyone on Donnie Darko..really good.........Requiem for a Dream isn't bad either.

Another two films I'd definitely recommend would be
Jacobs Ladder and Altered States........two of my all time favourites!

Book-wise anyone who hasn't read anyhting by Hermann Hesse is missing out! . Or Nausea by Jean-Paul Sarte.

Cherry · 20-05-2003 10:25pm

Jacobs Ladder is fantastic.

Raggamuffin · 20-05-2003 11:35pm

hermann hesse.. nice

Roger and Me is abetter film by micheal Moore, i think.

whats with all the anti american vibes?
you'd swear that all 255 million people were in on it hehe.

requiem for a dream is good.... and jennifer connely is hot.
but one must be warned that it's not to be taken lightly.
a good sit down is essential.

ThatBloke · 21-05-2003 2:33am

agree, its definitely a film you need to lock the door and turn off the lights for, just like Donnie Darko

got out talk to her (hable con ella) and rabbit proof fence tonight, heard they were good, anyone seen em?

Cherry · 21-05-2003 7:24pm

Haven't seen Rabbitproof Fence. Heard it was excellent though. Really touching, hard-hitting, factual & some other stuff.

Haven't heard of the other 1.

Just watched Chasing Amy & Mallrats for the umpteenth time. Classic(s).

ThatBloke · 21-05-2003 7:32pm

Talk to her is a spanish film by Pedro Almovodar, he is quality, dont wanna be all pretentious/artsy being into foreign films, but his films are always amazing, obre los ojos was made into an english version, Vanilla Sky, but the original was far superior

Honestly dont think I've seen Chasing Amy, Mall Rats kicks ass, its just a shame its been ripped off so much in recent years, and also the fact that Affleck has sold his soul puts me off watching it aswell

Cherry · 21-05-2003 7:36pm

Only good thing about Vanilla Sky was Jeff Buckley on the soundtrack.. & Cameron Diaz.

Oh you should see Chasing Amy.. It's not really a classic in the To Kill A Mockingbird way but it's just.. so funny.

& yeah, Ben Affleck is a huge sellout but at least he's getting buckets of money for it. & a cheap date as a wife.

ThatBloke · 21-05-2003 7:52pm

The fact that he's dating Jennifer Lopez and doing **** films for loadsa money is exactly how and why he's a sell out!!

You can have your money!! I'd rather have a soul

Cherry · 21-05-2003 7:57pm

Looking at Jennifer Lopez & her amazing everlasting multiple marriages, I'd say that after one drink she's anyone's. So I don't blame him for taking advantage of her. She's loaded & she's his meal-ticket. But yeah, he's a twat. I'd still prefer money over a soul though.

Any other good movies I should check out?

Saint-dotsie · 21-05-2003 8:24pm

The man who wasnt there (i think its called tis about a barber) is pretty damn good and my favourite film of the year mulholland drive excellent movie (dave lynch is a genius)

ThatBloke · 21-05-2003 8:56pm

Saw Insomnia last week, thought it was pretty good, to be honest, as I said I work in XtraVision and i can count the good films that have come out in the last 6 months on one hand

also the worst film I have possibly ever seen is Boat Trip, i was made watch it in work, it has no redeemable qualities

What has happened to Cuba Gooding Jr. ??

Saint-dotsie · 22-05-2003 6:49pm

so true,
However last year was a good year three of the best films i ever saw came out last year and dont forget lord of the rings!

Funkstard · 23-05-2003 2:54pm

Mulholland drive.....That film was completely off the wall.......crazy stuff. My parents want to get it out, and for me to explain it to them.........Bollox
