[dicoslash2093]

@Sirensongg2010 your commentary made me laugh so much

[TheMsAdeline]

[BalzhanSitaliyeva]

[dirdybirdy4]

[MultiSelected]

500 DAYS OF SUMMER ANYONE?

[AndDo1lface]

Did anyone know of belle and Sebastian before 500 days of summer? they are a great band :)

[sushigimme]

Roses are red, Violets are blue.......f*ck you wh*re

[AndDo1lface]

@zootube32 The song is about the band "Arab Strap" not the sex toy, It's about directed at someone in that band after belle and Sebastian toured with them in london :)

[zootube32]

[jenamitoitoi]

@zootube32 It's a sex toy.

[MsSharon28]

@zootube32 kept the willy hard

[Phyxius08]

Is it color my life with the chaos of trouble or colour.. ?

[xxshotxx1]

@Phyxius08 depends where you live.

US = Color

Europe = Colour

[Gazemottle]

@xxshotxx1 Those in Europe living outside of the UK might not necessarily use UK English spellings when using English, and are probably more likely to use the US English "color".

[xxshotxx1]

@Gazemottle oooh. thanks, i didn't know that.

[SickBoy1060]

@xxshotxx1 It is wrong, they learn UK English.

[SickBoy1060]

@Gazemottle Absolute nonsense, why make claims which are not true? Those who live in Europe learn UK English.

[darkninjapea93]

@Phyxius08 the band is Scottish so they would spell it colour.

[cathgirl23]

@Phyxius08 colour is the british way of spelling color

[Beatlenwm99]

Summer effect

[ahjudithah]

I love all off the music in 500 days of Summer

[iron1234maiden]

Colour my life with the chaos of trouble.

[whothefeckispete]

Teachers. <3.

[consigliere94]

[swosgs]

[IronicallyVague]

Fucking advertizements.....I'll never buy shit advertized this way

&^%&^%

[yasemeocurrioalgo]

I love Belle and Sebastian so much it makes me want to cry I'm not even kidding.

[weeble182]

As much as I love the movie,,,,,'Teachers' anyone???

[DCconlon]

@rubicscube007

you're so hip. hipster. i knew about 9/11 in 2008 but it's ok.

it went so mainstream.

[localjonc]

I didn't even know this song had a movie association I just remember sitting with my friends drinking coffee and smoking cloves and listening to belle and sebastian

[rubicscube007]

Even though I knew this song before 500 days of summer, I'm glad that now because of the movie so many more people can enjoy it and maybe join B&S fans :)

That movie has a lot of great references.

[Cheekyflyboy]

Awesome song!! It'll be fun listening to this while you're driving along the countryside in the evening with a girl name Summer by your side... ;)

[EquusAranza]

Well, I like the song. I like Belle & Sebastian.

[kylemorzine]

teachers! remember that? simon!

[missmarionk]

Why is it so bad to find good music through a movie-any movie? As if all of you, cultivated people were born with a vinyl or a cd of belle and sebastian or the smiths or whatever. Besides it's idiotic to say that a movie can taint music. Just relax people.

And yeah, I liked (500) Days of Summer.

[MckyMseNTarotCrds]

Ugh. Seriously? How many mentions of 500 Days of Summer are on here? B&S, The Smiths, The Pixies...how many of my beloved bands are going to be forever tainted by that crapfest movie? Okay, I wouldn't kick Zooey out of bed, but that movie was poop.

[tommyscarz]

@MckyMseNTarotCrds why do you gotta be so cynical? and how much respect could you really have for those bands if you think a movie will "forever taint" them? a lot of people really connected with the movie in a special way because of the music, and i believe that's what makes bands like the smiths and the pixies so special in the first place. people seeing echoes of their own life..

[MckyMseNTarotCrds]

@tommyscarz I see your point, I guess. Idk, I thought it sucked beyond belief. I could watch Zooey read the phone book for an hour, she's so cute, but the movie was almost unendurable. It seemed so marketed to my 'type' that it offended and disgusted me. And I'm SO sick of these films w/ the 'quirky chick who doesn't want a commitment' bullshit. Have these writers ever met a girl, haha? Commitments are like air to girls, regardless of what some douche Hollywood writer wants us to think.

[tommyscarz]

@MckyMseNTarotCrds i understand that. i personally really loved the movie, but it is true that there's a weird trend going on with anti-commitment girls. very misleading. still though, if you look at it that way, it's really just a bad movie with a damn good soundtrack haha

[MckyMseNTarotCrds]

@tommyscarz haha. Plus, no matter what the movie is, it's always fun to look at Zooey. Definitely one of the most beautiful women in the world. And, hey, it was better than The Happening!

[MrWeekid]

It isn't featured on the OST, but I'm pretty sure I heard this 1 in an episode of Californication too.

[djlumina]

did you remember when in Hi Fidelity, jack black makes some jokes about them????, that`s the second movie, were i hear a referense about them, since then i never stop listen them

[OnBetamax]

@djlumina and that was why in this movie they say that salled a lot and people didn't know why.. well the song in HiFi was in that album. So the circle is closed! xD

[SponsoredbyDuffBeer]

belle and sebastian kick ass

[PrincessCloClo]

Also the theme from Teachers on ch4

[averymaddox01]

haha i heard of this song on 500 days of summer and i'm glad i did cuz its a pretty good song

[jzoom45]

i think the movie referred to the album entitled the boy in the arab strap by belle and sebastian. it is a great album. i used to own it, and strongly recommend it.

[averymaddox01]

Thanks for the suggestion i just got it and it blew my mind great album.

[robotwookie]

@averymaddox01 Belle and Sebastian are one of the most underrated bands of all time..Period

[averymaddox01]

I know right, its really a shame cuz of how effin incredible they are

[ChoococaT]
