January 19 - Goodbye Horses

"Well, to be honest, when our manager told us they wanted to use one of our songs in a movie, we just assumed it was another one of Phil's lameass jokes/pranks. I mean, with fucking Phil you really can't even call what he does a joke or a prank. He puts nothing into it, you know, just says some bullshit pratter like, I don't know, The president of the record company's swinging by tonight's gig, so be on your finest behavior, lads. Ha ha. Just kidding.
"And it's like, yeah, no shit, we know you're kidding. We fucking always know you're kidding because 1) you tell us right away, and 2) even if you didn't tell us we'd still know because your jokes are so bleeding obvious.
"Anyway, looking back on it now, when he didn't tell us right away that he was kidding, that should've been our first clue that he was serious, because he kept with it and gradually we realized that fuck me, he's serious. And the crazy part was that he was talking about a real movie with a real director we'd actually heard of. We were like holy hell, he's talking about the Stop Making Sense guy. Have you ever seen that? For a concert movie, it's pretty fucking good, right? I ain't seen it in a long time, but I bet it holds up.
"So anyway, we were like yeah, do it. Permission granted. Of course. Fuck yeah. And in fairness, the song got a lot of attention because, holy hell a lot of people saw that movie and it won, like, every Oscar ever, and our song was featured in a pretty prominent and memorable part of the movie.
"But even still, yeah, mixed feelings. Sure it got us introduced to a huge audience and it made that song our best known tune, but if we had the chance to do it again? Yeah, I don't know. I don't mean to sound ungrateful, but really, how would you feel if your best and most personal song always immediately made people think of Buffalo Bill tucking his goodies between his legs and doing that creepy ass mangina dance in Silence of the Lambs?"

--William Garvey, lead singer of Q Lazzarus on his feelings about their song Goodbye Horses being used in Silence of the Lambs.
