This is Cinemetropolis by the Blue Scholars. I was reminded of this song during Wednesday's lecture when we discussed commercial culture in relation to Dharma Bums. The song touches on the same topic but talks about movies rather than commercials. The title of the song and album is a combination of the words cinema and metropolis and through the title it already expresses how intertwined movies are in today's society. It also touches on the phrase "something out of a movie" and discusses that people have been conditioned to watch movies.

    Cool song - I like the notion of 'Cinemetropolis' (I'm a movie geek), and I'm glad to see you thinking out of the box and applying the themes of lecture to the mundane of everyday life.
