I've been doing this for years and was wondering if anyone else has ever done that. Today I was listening to the album Eros but Dün while watching the silent film Metropolis.
Edit: amazed with the general response. Thanks for being the best sub about films on this site! I’ll work on it on the weekend and we’ll get back to everyone who showed interest as soon as I have the page up to take subscriptions.
I’ve always loved to study film history through all of the controversial, shocking and rule breaking films. I’m considering putting this knowledge into a newsletter where maybe every weekly email would be about a certain film that is or was once considered controversial, giving historical background and such.
Also, as I’d surely tackle controversial “classics”, I also intend to avoid the more obvious picks and bring some obscure, unheard controversial films from Latin America, Africa and Asia that might be worth talking about.
So, what you guys think?
I read about GME investors being a bunch of nut job conspiracy theorists and I get it. I read the shit on these forums and a lot of it is some of the dumbest shit I've ever read. Some of it sounds like intelligent analysis and some of it sounds like pure tin foil batshit insane conspiracy theories.
But can we step back and appreciate how FUCKING INSANE it is that the buy button was turned off? Un-fucking-precedented. Turned off right when Wall Street was about to get 2008'ed? The chairman of the SEC straight up said, "We had to protect the clearinghouses." Aka, the core of Wall Street was about to get 🍆 in the 🍑.
WHY? Why does people investing in a "dying brick and mortar" result in a multi trillion dollar industry getting destroyed? How has everyone just moved on from that to calling GME investors insane? HOW DOES THAT MAKE SENSE? How come the average person that got fcked in 2008 had to just take it? Why were they not similarly protected? And how does 1 tiny company nearly shut down the entire world's financial system?????????
These are the questions GME investors were asking. The questions EVERYONE ON PLANET EARTH should have been asking.
As insane as all of the above is. And I cannot stress enough how insane it really is. Get this, there have been NO CHANGES SINCE. WHAT. THE. FUCK.
Ok, fuck the consequences. Fuck sending people to jail. Fuck even fining the idiots/criminals that caused the above. At least make some changes to the market? Fucking do SOMETHING?
How have there been no changes to the market to stop the above? Nothing? Really? 1 year from the day a <10 billion dollar "dying brick and mortar" nearly took down multi trillion dollar wall street and NO CHANGES? Billionaires were crying on national television. They didn't do that in 2008 as far as I can remember.
How are the answers to any of the above questions not going to sound like a crazy bat shit insane conspiracy theory?
Ba Dum Tss
Here is the clip I was sent (play with sound on). If anyone has any ideas it would be highly appreciated.
I’m thinking maybe it had some male vocals in it but I don’t know for sure.
There is always a chance I’ve just given myself a false memory.
——————————————
EDIT: My friend thinks there is a possibility it might be in a film from a music box that someone winds up, but it also might not be. If it was then this would probably make this significantly harder

EDIT 2: Holy shit I went to bed and woke up to so many responses. I was expecting maybe 4 or 5 but got hundreds. This sub is the most helpful one in existence, I love you all.

EDIT 5: FINAL EDIT
It’s been almost a day now and my friend and I both think it is probably a mixture of:
Chim Chimeree, Hushabye Mountain, Time in a Bottle and also Stairway to Heaven.
If you said any of these, you were probably right.
I know it isn’t very satisfying to not have a definitive answer but that’s the way life goes sometimes, I suppose.
Thanks again for the overwhelming number of responses, I appreciate each and every one of them. This sub truly never fails to amaze me. I wish I could reward all of you seeing as it’s supposedly not one specific song, but alas I can only give the point to one person so I will just go with the first person who said one of the four listed above - u/funkydisco well done!
It was a tooterbug.
