Naw, the thing that floored me was that something from *2001* was considered retro. W. T. F?
And I know exactly what you mean. Recently I was looking for the lyrics to Mad World, and found them online, with discussion. Someone said, and I'm totally not making this up... "Jeez, you don't even know where the song's from originally, do you? Donnie Darko!"
2001. I remember that year. I was actually in the black that year. And then I started grad school. Ah.... *nostalgia*
and OMFG, when BSG used "All Along the Watchtower" and at least half who saw it seemed to think it was a copy of a U2 song. And half of the remaining half thought it was Jimi Hendrix who done it originally. Which I can almost forgive.
Am I that old? Of course, I'm sitting here & listening to Carol King....
Damn these kids. and "Speak into the horn, sonny!"
