2. Don't Stop or whatever, Jane's Addiction...for friggin, some cartoon!

I have blocked out the memory of both the song's title and the family film it was in the trailer for.

13. Theme music for an Apocalypse
They were ahead of their time. Same with Sex Pistols/Dead Kennedys/ Stooges, etc. Anarchy for the USA.

If it's the documentary I'm thinking of, I'm looking very much forward to seeing it. I waited for years for them to come to my town or close enough for me to go see 'em, and they finally did, two weeks after I'd moved out of state! The bastards!

12. Yes, the commercialization of "Mountain Song" is a disgrace.
Judas Priest on a Burger King commercial also pissed me off.
