I Bet You Look Good on the Death Star

EXPERIMENT #154
"I BET YOU LOOK GOOD ON THE DEATH STAR"


FILM

Star Wars (1995 "Faces" VHS).

ALBUM

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not by the Arctic Monkeys. Hyped-to-death band from England who conquered their homeland in record time earlier this year and gained a foothold here in America despite barly having an album out and the handicap of a beyond stupid name. Arctic Monkeys? Sounds like a band Screech was in on "Saved by the Bell."

SYNCHS

- Two or three of the cymbal crashes in the beginning of "I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor" coincide with shots of Rebel soldiers getting shot in the opening battle.

- Darth Vader is onscreen when the line "you look like a robot from 1984" is heard in "I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor."

- The line "sends it coursing through the veins" is heard in "You Probably Couldn't See For the Lights But You Were Staring Straight at Me" as the Jawa shoots R2-D2 and electricity is seen coursing through the droid's circuits.

NOTES

Since that wasn't very entertaining, here's something that is:



Wish I could say I'm responsible for that, but I'm not.

I too was turned off by the name. I remember reading a review of the band in a certain weekly news magazine that told me how the Monkeys were the hottest thing happening and I turned to my girlfriend, and she said: Who the fuck are the Arctic Monkeys?
