This week's video is by one of my favourite bands: Coldplay. It's called "The Scientist" The cool thing about this video is that it's all backwards. I've heard it took Chris Martin something like 6 months to learn the lyrics backwards. Check it out:
Since we're on the subject of music I thought I'd share some info about band names...for example:
Fall Out Boy: In their early years, they asked an audience what their name should be. Somebody yelled "Fall Out Boy." They liked it and took it, unaware that it was the name of a character on The Simpsons. When they found out, they feared they'd be sued. But The Simpsons' producers thought the band had the name first, and that they were going to be sued. (Neither was.)
Death Cab For Cutie: Named after a song written by Monty Python collaborator Neil Innes for his 1960s psychedelic group, the Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band.
Coldplay: They stole it from another band that broke up, The original band got the name from a book by poet Philip Horky, entitled Child's Reflections, Cold Play
