Apex Mountain on The Rewatchables
37:50 – 41:07… down. Put us put us in the space. Does anything get you going more than this man? Come on. I actually was going to float to you guys whether we need to rename Apex Mountain. Wang Chung Mountain? Wang Chung Apex Mountain. Like when they do the college football it's like the Rose Bowl presented by State Farm. State Farm Rose Bowl. Is it just Wang Chung Apex Mountain? They have this movie and they have Breakfast Club. She's burning fire in the Twilight as they're trying to escape from the principal just in the same year. I wish that you would take some of your hard-earned money, buy a sponsorship of a college bowl …

Chung. Yeah. Uh-huh. Break it down. Put us put us in the space. Does anything get you going more than this man? Come on. I actually was going to float to you guys whether we need to rename Apex Mountain. Wang Chung Mountain? Wang Chung Apex Mountain. Like when they do the college football it's like the Rose Bowl presented by State Farm. State Farm Rose Bowl. Is it just Wang Chung Apex Mountain? They have this movie and they have Breakfast Club. She's burning fire in the Twilight as they're trying to escape from the principal just in the same year. I wish that you would take some of your hard-earned money, buy a sponsorship of a college bowl game and rename it the Wang Chung Apex Mountain Bowl. North Texas versus Hawaii. And they would only have to play Wang Chung music throughout the entire thing. I appreciate how your announcer voice now is just Robert Lozier. It's Robert Lozier doing monster trucks. I love that. So the story is Friedkin's like, I want you to do all the music for this. As you mentioned, very collaborative. And he's like, the one thing I don't want you guys to do, this is it. Your only instruction. Don't make a song called To Live and Die in LA because there's no way I'm putting the movie. So don't fucking do that. Wang Chung gets in the studio. They come out and they're like, hey, we made a song. Just give this a listen. Friedkin listens to it. That's fucking awesome. And films a whole new first seven bits of the movie built around this song. It's so great. It sounds like something I would do managerially. There's no way we're fucking doing that. I'm on the next pod. Unbelievable. It's really great. Can you imagine being in the Friedkin's office when the Wang Chung guy's like, were they British? They were British. He's like, hey, William, we have a song. Also, this is Hurricane Billy. He's not some shrinking violet. You're like, oh, yeah, sure, sure. He's known to be like, fucking don't do it. Do not put the song to live and die. Do you know what, though? He has said that this is the easiest movie he made, which is insane with this car chase and with some of the stuff in there. And I think probably this is the purest reflection of his talent is to just be like running and gunning. I don't have a lot of studio executives messing with me while I'm shooting. They eventually messed with him when it was over. And then like, he obviously just like loves the collaborators he worked with on this because why else would he just be like, Chung, Wang, you guys got it. You have the entire, the canvas is yours. It's blank. And if you guys want to call a song to live and die in LA, let's do it. I mean, this was my music, that 81, 86. This was, this was the early alternative with the Cure and the Smiths, New Order, all those bands. This was not like a major band. They had like two songs that were like reasonably popular. Everybody, Dance All Days. Everybody, that song wasn't out yet. Oh, okay, so that's after this. Dance All Days was on the third album. This is the fourth album, basically. Like, there were probably 50 Wang Chung's and for some reason Freakon's like these guys. Yeah. And just saw, like, what was your Wang Chung background? All I know is Everybody Wang Chung Tonight is the only song I'm really familiar with. You were fucking driving
