Oh, wow, that's cool. For some reason I was under the impression that they had just fallen off of the face of the earth.

You know, I was wondering why that single was number 1. I'm not really a fan, but at least now I know.

That sounds pretty interesting. I think I'll have to go and find that live action plus the song at some point. BoC is pretty good plus it's their first for a live action film.
