Sparkle Motion redux
Loading...
Uploaded by Desvelos on Oct 8, 2006
Richard Kelly had originally intended to use The Pet Shop Boys' "West End Girls" for the Sparkle Motion scene in Donnie Darko, but due to budget constraints, the scene had to be edited to Duran Duran's less-expensive "Notorious" instead. The scene was never changed back to reflect the many changes made to the Director's Cut, but had it been, it may have gone a little like this.

Nope sorry! This was sort of fun, but the original is always the best.

it's better your way!

As I remember on the special features, Richard Kelly says that the dance was originally choreographed to West End Girls, but because of the 4/4 time they were able to substitute Notorious post-production. I love the notion of West End Girls with its moody synth sound over this scene, but I don't think it was used in its entirety. For instance, if you play the song, the rapid synth chords at 1:23 perfectly fit with the girls' little half-steps backward.

Does anyone else think that the singer in the first verse sounds like Jorma Taccone in "Jizz in my pants"?
-
Baloney! This song does not fit the choreography at all!
-
I feel like this song fits better with the moves rhythmically, but I definitely love hearing Duran Duran's notorius more.

@SpokeZarathustra Fuck you! Duran duran is awesome
-
this song is perfect. i always thought the notorious song was a bad fit!!

" what's feces?"
"I don't know I think it's baby mice."
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
" This movie was well thought out. Even the part where the video game has a red sports car that crashes, is forshadowing!

This Pet Shop Boys song was of the "depeche mode" type songs... grittier, sexier, more mature than Duran Duran... which makes Duran Duran's "Notorious" more fitting, as one said earlier, for juxtaposing how ridiculous these little girls are in their emo, German Goth-esque expressions with the creepy, not cool latter sounds of a desperate Duran Duran, who along with other 80's "boy bands", would suck ass in a frightening way... But nothing was creepier than "A View To A Kill" ... oh, the horror.
