an age of retro revival
the one thing that struck me the most while watching Disney's Sky High, was not of the various retro-schtick notwithstanding, while the movie proved ultimately entertaining (as "entertaining" as a movie would get @ a 2am screening *heh*), t'was the songs that stuck with me more ...
here's a songlist, with songtitle / current recording artist / original artist:
1. I Melt With You - Bowling For Soup / Modern English
2. Through Being Cool - They Might Be Giants / DEVO

... or maybe this had to do with Lynda Carter (Wonder Woman) appearing in the movie? ... but then again, that would be more the 70's, innit?
altho, i haveta say (and since im going down this nostalgia-lane anyways), the movie also sorta reminded me of a coupla "old-er" television series; The Misfits Of Science and The Greatest American Hero ... which is sorta a weird-reminder/parallel, 'coz at the end of the day; tis the age-old story about learning to deal with "your powers" and "the responsibility of said power", innit? ... and i guess some things/themes you dun need to change ... except maybe improving on older-songs hahahaha~ altho i'd really appreciate if someone would cover the theme-song; "Believe It Ot Not" :)
*tis the age of retro-revivals, innit?*
