#NowPlaying - Third Eye Blind

 



My dad's a lawyer, and he told me about this years ago. Disney paid a boat load of money for this song ... and NO ONE listened or read the lyrics?!? Eeyore would have a field day with this ...



The original theatrical trailer for the film featured the song "Semi-Charmed Life" by alternative band Third Eye Blind. The song is about crystal meth addiction ('Those little red panties/they pass the test,' 'Doing crystal meth/will pick you up until you break'), but was presumably chosen for the trailer because of its bright, catchy sound. Although the portions of the song used in the trailer don't feature the most explicit lyrics (about both drugs and sex), there was still a public outcry about the inappropriateness of its use in the trailer for a children's movie. Once informed of the song's meaning, Disney recalled the original trailer and substituted a different song.



MEH! Pardon me for not getting the red panties reference ... I just totally dig the beat. So damn peppy!!!
