  • The Return of the Apolyton Random Trivia Thread

    I tried to find the old movie trivia thread, but then I decided that we'd just make this a general all-topic trivia thread, and we'd just start with a movie question.



    In the classic rock-and-roll coming-of-age film Almost Famous, what is the first song heard after the opening credits?

    Funky Cold Medina by Tone Loc. What I win?

      Ah Tone Loc, he was in Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, which I watched the other day...
      Is it me, or is MOBIUS a horrible person?

        Yes he was. Good movie, too.

        I never even heard of Almost Famous.

          Kindly remove yourself from this premises before I have you removed forcably for fear that your utter lack of taste may be contagious.

            too late. The man-kisser Mobius likes Ace Ventura too.

              Guy. Looks like no one saw your obscure movie or at least didn't pay enough attention to know the song.

                Hint: In a movie that has a soundtrack featuring rock artists as diverse as Led Zeppelin, Iggy Pop & The Stooges, and Elton John, the first song heard in the movie is not a rock and roll classic at all. It is, in fact, one of the most annoying and ubiquitous novelty songs ever recorded.

                      This is just a wild guess (I only saw the second half of the movie) but "Itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka-dot bikini?"

                          Jesus H Christ, Al, millions of people have seen the movie. It's a hard question.

                            Almost Famous is hardly obscure. It was by no means a blockbuster hit, but it was very well received and won an Oscar.
