"Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, A, B, A, B, Select, Start"
The Moldy Peaches were on The View today 'cause they're on the Juno soundtrack. In fact, they're all over the Juno soundtrack. The above lyric is from one of their songs that's featured on that soundtrack. I think it's funny and also shows how dated the music used in the film is. Okay, not dated in the sense it's from like the 70s or something but in that it speaks to people of a certain age group. You did that particular sequence during the title credits of the Nintendo game Contra you would get 99 lives, which would make the game A LOT easier. Now, we're on like the what 5th or 6th generation gaming system, right? How is a 16 year old supposed to know that piece of pop culture now? Then again, Juno did show a very acute knowledge of 70s punk rock. It's a meaning less series of words. Anyway, that's just one more reason Oprah is wrong when saying Juno is "fresh" (UFC is going to kill me for saying that).
EDIT: so I can't spell "moldy"...

did we talk about this? because i had a similar reaction to the soundtrack.
a friend of mine said she felt that the movie was a 30-year old's vision of teenage-dom. i don't know about the movie, but i did feel that way about the soundtrack.
