Contest #2!
Contest # 2
A copy of Edith Wharton’s The House of Mirth and Hunter S. Thompson’s Generation of Swine to the first person who identifies the movies in which these songs are sung. (It’s possible that these songs have been used in more than one movie, so you have to guess which movie I mean.)
1. A Lucky Guy by Rickie Lee Jones
2. A Case Of You by Joni Mitchell, performed by the stars
3. A Quick One While He’s Away by The Who
4. Dusty Springfield’s version of Spooky
5. The Beach Boys’ God Only Knows sung by Rhys Ifans
6. Costello and Bacharach’s God Give Me Strength sung by Ileana Douglas (Kristen Vigard)
7. Logical Song by Supertramp
8. The Heart of Saturday Night by Tom Waits
9. Angel of the Morning played during a beating in a pizzeria
11.13am. Both entries got two items wrong. I will confirm that A Lucky Guy was played in Luc Besson’s Subway. Christopher Lambert and Isabelle Adjani in evening clothes in the bowels of the Paris metro. Subway was cheesy and dated even when it first came out, but I liked it.
Rickie Lee Jones I love. She’ll take a song and wind it around your heart like a noose.
14.14pm. Eep, my mistake, it was not Heart of Saturday Night that Tom Waits sang in the movie, it was only my favorite Tom Waits song ever, Please Call Me, Baby. The movie was Keeping The Faith, Edward Norton’s directorial debut. So erase that item, and we have a winner: Yuie. I’ll email you.
The answers: 1. Subway. 2. Truly, Madly, Deeply. 3. Rushmore. 4. Lock, Stock, and Two Smoking Barrels. 5. Enduring Love. 6. Grace of My Heart. 7. Magnolia. 8. Please Call Me, Baby from Keeping The Faith. 9. Fingers.
To our contest winners: Okay if you get your prizes after the 25th? I just spent the whole day sitting in traffic. The road chaos is not going to ease up till after Xmas.

Some answers, I’ve had to Google – no, sorry, I really owe all my answers to Google.
I did this instead of studying for my finals in Financial Theory. Haha.
A Lucky Guy Ricky Lee Jones – Subway
A Case of You – Joni Mitchell – Waking the Dead
A Quick One While He’s Away by The Who – Rushmore
Dusty Springfield’s version of Spooky – Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels
The Beach Boys’ God Only Knows sung by Rhys Ifans – Enduring Love
Costello and Bacharach’s God Give Me Strength sung by Kristen Vigard – Grace of My Heart
Logical Song by Supertramp – Magnolia
The Heart of Saturday Night by Tom Waits – Perfect Storm
Angel of the Morning – Fingers (it was also used in Jerry Maguire and Charlie’s Angels but having watched both movies and not having recalled a “beating in a pizzeria” scene, I conclude by process of elimination that you were referring to the use of the song in the movie Fingers)

Darn it, I don’t even have the patience to Goggle (eka nga ni Jericho Reyes). I’ll just do sour grapes. Bulok naman na siguro yang mga libro na yan kaya ipinamimigay. Punta na lang ako sa Booksale or, better yet, 4th floor ng National Bookstore Cubao (I swear that’s where I saw a mint copy of the 1st British edition of the first Harry Potter book, which I gave to my fanatic little sister 2 Xmases ago) when I’m home. Bwaha.
