"We Don't Need Another Trilogy" is a folk/rock/hip-hop collaboration with nerdcore superstar Dale Chase. I became aware of Dale's work through Z. of Hipster Please and GeekDad. We got to being friends on Twitter and I eventually presented him the idea of a collaboration.
"We Don't Need Another Trilogy" expresses the feeling that many Nerds have about Sci-Fi franchises: sometimes one film is enough.
Dale was an absolute joy to work with. Please go check out his website where he offers lots of free music for you to download. Even if you don't consider yourself much of a hip-hop fan, I implore you to check him out. You won't be disappointed.
We Don't Need Another Trilogy
by John Anealio & Dale Chase
Sometimes one film is enough
I don't want a sequel if its only fluff
and even though I love these characters
a third installment of this franchise should have never occurred
I love Star Wars but not the prequels
I love The Matrix but hated the sequels
Why does Science Fiction come in threes?
We don't need another Trilogy
We don't need another Trilogy
Dale's rap
I love Star Wars but not the prequels
I love the Matrix but hated the sequels
Why does Science Fiction come in threes?
We don't need another Trilogy
We don't need another Trilogy
I hope you enjoy it,
John Anealio
You are so right, John! Why can't a movie stand on its own?
ReplyDeleteThat's right - more money.
Awesome! Love the collaboration.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of one of my favorite Raymond and Scum songs: Imagine The Sequel.
ReplyDelete@Alex & Aidan Thanks! I'm glad you like it.
ReplyDelete@YoYogod I'll have to check Raymond & Scum out. Thanks for the recommendation.
Oh, that was so fun! And what about the movies that go beyond a trilogy? I thought Aliens ended just fine, and I refused to see the rest of them. Same goes for T2: Judgement Day. Those movies worked fine in twos, but no, they insisted upon making it three.
ReplyDeleteI had a lot of fun listening to that!
you missed an opportunity to do it to the tune of we don't need another hero...that would have been incredibly wonderful two with one blow ;). Great stuff though and oh so true..now you just need to do a fringe and a flash forward song...or two...or three yes a trilogy of songs!! *runs away*
ReplyDeleteThanks Daniel. I'm glad you like it. I love Flash Forward! Too bad it's not being renewed. Maybe I can write a song about that!
ReplyDeleteThanks again,
John
Just got around this one. Nice job! You two should do more collabs.
ReplyDeleteGreat song. I thought from the title that it was based on "We don't need another hero." I like your song better.
ReplyDeleteThanks Maurice. Glad to hear that you enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteGreat song! I liked it so much, I recommended it on my Aug. 18 blog on ReidKemper.com.
