Skin’s Surprise Musical Ending

March 24, 2007 · No Comments

So at the end of the finale episode of the UK’s Channel 4 TV show "Skins" first season, my latest mildly guilty pleasure show, one of the characters is in a public bathroom, looking into a mirror, thinking about a girl he’s been trying to find. Two strangers come in, stand at the urinals. Cat Steven’s "Wild World" starts playing. The men at the urinals start singing the song. This leads to a musical montage, with the whole cast singing, lip syncing, the song. A rude comedy with some drama thrown in that had no previous musical stuff in prior episodes, the show pulled a rarely used gimmick: the surprise musical ending. Liked it. I think more TV shows and movies should end this way. Imagine if "the 300" ended that way? Would of been much better. It would be so great if Die Hard 4 ends with a surprise musical ending.

I was watching a movie with an Iron Maiden in it and I thought, that could not have really existed. That’s just too wrong. So I looked it up on wikipedia and it looks like it’s actually a hoax.
