One of my favs from the movie what is it ?

 

Have ya heard it lately ?

 

Green onions

 

yes it is green onions, by booker t and the mg's

 

Hold on to your shorts ...

 

Green Onions by Booker T and The MGs.

 

Its the new background music for the current "Depends"' commercials

 

I feel old now for sure ... But better about using thier product

 

Piss yellow coupe and skid marks ... Sorta fits i guess

 

Any body else notice ?

 

American Graffiti has film dynamics that were ahead of its time...

George Lucas wrote most of the scenes with music playing in backround..

Yeh here: The song at the end...

"Love Potion Number 9" is a good song in the movie to..

this is a new low for you dog...

 

It's true why would i make it up ..

some one post the u-tube commercial please

 

i must watch too much daytime tv .. no one else has seen the new commercials

 

Why you gotta spread your misfortune? If they used Green Onions for a diaper commercial, I don't wanna see it. I'm gonna stay here having fun, as usual.

 

what a sell out

 

The hair on the back of my neck stands up every time i watch that scene.

 

I have the album of Booker T and the MGs and it amazingly has the same sound all the way thru and even lyrics to it.

 

Great movie, great sound track

 

That song (green onions) sets the mood for that drag racing scene perfectly. That kind of fim making was way ahead of its time.

 

Before they built a bunch of houses and a golf course out there, the locals actually used that stretch for street racing- very long and straight- up to the point that they had measured off the 1/4 mile, and painted start and finish lines across the road, complete with a big set of crossed flags and "FINISH" at the finish- nothing but cows & gr*** out there back then. The downhill side where the crash was staged is still open field, golf course is across the road- along with some stop lights

 

A little trivia for you, the band Booker T @ the MG's had two of the greatest (And unknown) Blues musicians, Steve 'The Colonel' Cropper and Donald 'Duck' Dunn. Both were members of the 'Blues Brothers' band and are featured throughout the film.

Doc.

 

Maybe Steve Cropper endorses them?

 

Dude.

That's sacrilege. Steve Cropper was the sound of Stax records in the sixties. Pick up any Otis Redding or Wilson Pickett record and he wrote, produced or played on it. He's still in recording to this day. And on topic, he has some killer cars.

 

I gotta admit, I've watched that movie hundreds of times since the age of 5 years old and I do ***ociate it with street racing every time I hear it. There was a thread somewhere else that I read a few years ago about what song would you hear to put yourself in a "race mood" if you could and "Green Onions" was one of the top ones along with "Lunatic Fringe".

 

maybe just maybe Falfa will step up and endorse the product ... after the crash
... covering his tracks so to speak

 

Thank you!! Another true believer!!

Sacrilege indeed to sell an instrumental that formative in music to a nappy company!

Doc.

Depends now comes in colors like underwear...

 

green onions "My my, green onions hanging all over the studio!"
