OT: Music in Movies Trivia
by TheBZA
on May 9, 2008 1:05 PM CDT
It's a Friday, I'm stuck at work and I'm looking for a distraction. I figured I'd start a post in the vein of AJM's movie trivia posts. I'm going to post a list of bands that have performed in a film, your job is to name the film this performance occured in. If anyone else has any good ones feel free to toss them into the mix. Don't forget, no cheating!
NOTE: I am not a fan of all of these bands listed. In fact, I straight up dislike some. Don't interpret this list as any kind of indication of my musical taste. Thank you.
1. Aerosmith (Multiple answers, I'm looking for the good movie)
2. Alice in Chains
3. Big Bad Voodoo Daddy
4. Ministry
5. Morris Day & The Time
6. Nick Cave
7. Otis Day & The Knights
8. Rammstein
9. Smash Mouth
10. ZZ Top

Citizen Dick....
Their “hit song” in the movie - “Touch Me I’m Dick” - is a parody of what song by what legendary (but still somewhat obscure) Seattle ‘grunge’ band?
Bonus Points: what obvious reason is there for that choice of song in the movie?

maybe
but what I was looking for is that when a band named Green River split up, the members went off and formed two different bands—
Mudhoney (Mark Arm & Steve Turner) &
Pearl Jam aka Citizen Dick (Jeff Ament & Stone Gossard)
So, the choice of “Touch Me I’m Dick” is sort of Ament and Gossard poking fun at their former bandmates.

To be exact...
Green River begat Mudhoney and Mother Love Bone.
After Andrew Wood od’d, Mother Love Bone sort of begat Pearl Jam by way of a Temple of the Dog intro to Eddie Vedder.

Kind of
Pearl Jam was already getting started, because Eddie was already up from San Diego. Eddie was hanging out during ToTD recording. Chris had trouble hitting the low notes so Eddie helped out.
Not really sure how it’s Stone/Jeff poking fun at Mudhoney, since I doubt they had any input on the screenplay.

I like the CD, granted I haven’t listened to it in a while.
Reach Down (Track 2) is pretty sick. McCready goes off. Of course this is also before PJ’s first album, so you have to look at it in that context as well.

That line makes me laugh.
Also, I hope “I am not a fan of all of these bands listed” doesn’t include Nick Cave. Cause that’d be a shame.
