I’d always assumed the title of the album (and its fourth track) was a play on the Reagan-era political slogan “Morning in America” (because you eat breakfast in the morning, get it?). Turns out it was released in 1979, before Reagan was even elected….
Another one for Supertramp… in “Fool’s Overture” there’s a section near the end where the sax is playing over the sound of blowing winds, and there’s a barely audible vocal chorus in the background. I just noticed yesterday that what they are singing is “Jerusalem”. (There is also a faint “Dreamer” in there, but I have always heard that…)
You’re Bloody Well Right!
Although, having thought about it, with Supertramp being British, 09/11 would be 9th November, so that blows this theory out of the water… 
Dude, was the album called Breakfast in England?
It is kinda funny/weird.
well crap. I’m the biggest idiot here. I just went back to look over the album cover and realized the waitress is a stylized Statue of Liberty. Just realized this 2 min ago.
This has probably been mentioned before in this thread, but during the final fight in Deadpool 2, there’s very dramatic choral music to punctuate the action. Listen closely and they’re singing “holy shitballs”.
They did. But they realized there’s not a lot they could do.
A fairly trivial one … but the Kindle logo, of the person sitting under the tree, the figure of the person looks like a letter “K”.
Huh. I had never noticed. Thanks.
Ha, ok, you got me. There can be no doubt then!
That the beat in a lot of Tejano music is the Texas two step. I don’t listen to country music, which is what I associate with the Texas two step. For whatever reason I’ve never associated the term with my favorite Tejano songs. I recently re-listened to an older Dave Matthew’s Band song called Two Step, and I realized that the beat is the same as the beat in a lot of Tejano music.
I recognized the NYC skyline/Statue of Liberty thing long ago, but looking at that reversed album cover image I just noticed for the first time that the view is out an airplane window!
The model for the album cover was Kate Murtagh, which I knew because she and my grandmother were both in Hellzapoppin.
Something I thought I knew; turned out I was wrong: The origin of the name “River Song”. I know the in-universe explanation, but as for where the writers/showrunners got it to begin with, I thought it was from “Crazy Love” by Van Morrison. And when I’m with her, that’s where I belong/And I’m running to her, like a river’s song.
Actually, Russell T. Davies and Stephen Moffat had a game going, where they’d try to set up naughty acronyms in episode titles. “A, R, S, E: what can I do with that? A River Song Ending. Okay, now we’ve got a name for that character!” I was thinking romantic; they were being bawdy.
What show is that?
Dr Who
In the movie This Is Spinal Tap, there’s a character named Sir Dennis Eton-Hogg (the head of Polymer Records, we meet him during the party that Fran Drescher throws). I didn’t recognize until the other day that his name is a joke about blow jobs.
Also a play on Sir Michael Lindsay-Hogg, who filmed/directed all those 1960s rock artists for film and TV.
I used to think “Surrender Dorothy” by the witch was a directive to Dorothy. She’s actually telling the city to give her up.
Not exactly a creative work and not exactly the millionth time but a year ago I bought an auto new enough to include SiriusXM. One of my saved channels is, of course, 18,
The Beatles
24/8
I’d puzzled about the sub-head a few times in the past year then yesterday, “Eight Days a Week” came up in rotation.
