        I'd love to see a movie based on Silent Running. But I'm afraid it's shaping out to be a documentary...

        (The existing movie of the same name has nothing in common with the song, but it's worth watching anyway.)

        Yes, Wikipedia says:

        Rutherford named the song after the film Silent Running "because I remembered that film so well, and our song had a spacey feel to it."

            Watsky, et al - Exquisite Corpse

            For best results this should be cheesy B-movie as hell, the song really leans into it I think

                Die Fantastischen Vier - Krieger could make an interesting piece or art piece.

                It's German, here's the first lyrics translation weblink I found

                          That's essentially how they wrote the song, so yeah! I can see it. I'd watch this.

                            Yeah I know, I think they shot the music video for it in a similar way, and a movie with a bigger budget could expand on that

                                I feel like you could do a really dark Scrooge themed story from it.

                                          Dude I don't think I've ever seen Watsky mentioned outside of his own comment sections. You a real one for that.

                                          Love my guy, George.
