INT. DFO PRODUCTION OFFICE – DAY
A pair of sleazy Hollywood producers continue – against all logic or reason – to remain hard at work in their office. One – DARKEST TIMELINE ZACK MORRIS – is looking over a spreadsheet on his laptop while a second – RIKKI-TIKKI-DEADLY – is working through a series of yoga poses. A third person in the office is lounging on the couch, squinting at the finely printed instructions on a product he is holding.
COLE BEASLEY: …yeah, but what if I’m strong as a horse.
RIKKI-TIKKI-DEADLY: [standing in Warrior One pose] I still don’t think it’s a good idea, Cole.
DARKEST TIMELINE ZACK MORRIS: You like apple flavor, though, right?
COLE BEASLEY: I sure do. Heh heh, remember when that guy in that film said “How you like them apples?”
DTZM: Good Will Hunting?
COLE BEASLEY: That’s the one! He sure told that Harvard boy what was what, didn’t he?
RTD: [transitions to Tree pose] He sure did, Cole.
COLE BEASLEY: What’s that feller’s name again?
DTZM: Matt Damon.
COLE BEASLEY: I heard he made a film about a guy from Oklahoma.
RTD: [enters High Lunge pose] Yes, it’s called Stillwater.
DTZM: I bet that guy wouldn’t be afraid to take a little Ivermectin.
RTD: Cut it out, man, that stuff is dangerous. I hear people have all kinds of digestive problems when they take that stuff.
COLE BEASLEY: You mean, like tummyaches?
RTD: I mean like shitting their pants, Cole.
COLE BEASLEY: I’m surprised you haven’t shit your own pants doing that artsy-fartsy yoga business. You look like a f–
RTD: [interrupting] I’m trying to get inside the mindset of our key demographics for the film. Which includes people who think that rocks contain “healing energy” if they are pretty enough.
DTZM: We’re trying to make sure your film has broad appeal, Cole. For example, who do you think your film is going to appeal to?
COLE BEASLEY: Men.
RTD: Yeah, but what kind of men?
COLE BEASLEY: Football fans. Patriots.
DTZM: Sure. But there’s a lot of men out there who aren’t into football and we’d still love for them to pay to see the film. We want their money too, don’t we?
COLE BEASLEY: Huh.
RTD: And then there’s women.
DTZM: And boys.
RTD: And girls.
DTZM: You’ll never get anywhere in Hollywood if you only make films that a small group of people want to see. We want to attract all kinds of viewers. So Rikki and I will keep working on that, while you go ahead and munch down a bit of that Ivermectin paste and…
RTD: Don’t eat the paste, Cole.
DTZM: …and maybe we’ll listen to a bit of music to get inspired. [raises Apple Watch to his mouth] SIRI, PLAY A SONG ABOUT…US.
Today’s theme is: “demographics”. What that means, specifically, is songs that include the words “man”, “woman”, “boy”, or “girl” in the title. Plurals are fine, of course. SonOfSpam correctly identified last week’s song as “Pressure” by Queen. Post links as “https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=’w3!Rd_5(!3nT1st’ and they should embed in the comments after you refresh.

Placebo is a phenomenal band.
I’ve found they don’t actually do anything for me.
Even if it didn’t, it’s always welcome.

Okay, this is *kind of* cheating because it’s a whole album instead of just one song, but Spoon is one of the most consistently great bands in the US, and their album “Girls Can Tell” was love at first listen for me.

If we weren’t so close to the end of the Request Line season I’d have probably split this topic in two – gonna be a rich one.
Probably be some Blair Witch action as well.
I hope not – I’ve got 75 songs just for “girl” in my personal computer library – which isn’t even very big.
