Dunno if any of you guys like the awesome punk band Fall Out Boy, but here's a funny little quote i found the other day:
And this past summer, when Joe Esposito's "You're the Best," off "The Karate Kid" soundtrack, rained down upon an unsuspecting rock club, it meant that one of the most immodest bands around was about to deliver its musical equivalent of a jump-front kick to the head.
"We thought it was the funniest thing," explained Fall Out Boy's sarcastically slanted songwriter/bassist Pete Wentz when asked why the band used the Cobra Kai's ****sure anthem for its theme music. "We'd come out and be so stoked. That's, like, the best song."
The one thing the 4-year-old Chicago band didn't count on was that the song, used in just one scene in the 1984 flick, was lost on their relatively young fanbase.
"There wasn't one moment where a kid got it," lamented Wentz, who himself was only in kindergarten when Ralph Macchio beat up the bully, got the girl and earned a cherry ride after first waxing on, then off. "So we stopped that pretty quickly and started coming out to Jay-Z instead."
Lol...they also used a pic of the Kobra Kai on their EP. Good band.
