There are so many interesting 90s bands whose songs appeared in American Pie but never got a chance to make their way onto the soundtrack. Harvey Danger, Hole, and The Brian Jonestown Massacre all presumably got bumped in order to make room for less-than-one-hit wonder Bachelor No. 1. The corny, nasally opening lines (“Hello to your mother, your br...
Grating even by Sugar Ray standards, “Glory” is a shining example of ‘you had to be there’ trendy pop rock. As it scores a moment of forced sexual exploration and the subsequent gross out gag to follow, one has to wonder whether it was actually selected by the music supervisor, or if it was just put in as filler and they forgot to go in and add a s...
Another track that’s meant to serve as shorthand for underage drinking and bad decisions, “Wishen” is a generic third wave ska throwaway that, for some reason, opens with a strained Ricky Ricardo impression. Apparently, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones said no to the soundtrack and some out of touch studio exec thought The Loose Nuts were close enough.
The late 90s seemed to have every act looking to the past, but one of the most baffling nostalgia trends was the swing revival. Bands like The Atomic Fireballs took to dressing up your dad’s record collection for the Beavis and Butt-Head generation and hoping teens won’t notice. And they didn’t, at least not for a couple of years. “Man with the Hex...
“Vintage Queen” was easy enough for teens to throw on and think they’re badass as they wait for the song’s one dirty word. Inoffensive soundtrack padding, it just feels like diet Blink-182. This dog whistle for fans of Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater served its purpose as it was hidden in the background of a party scene. At least American Piedidn’t opt for ...
Delightfully wallowing in post-grunge angst, Shades Apart used muted power chords make “Stranger by the Day” just heavy enough for the skater kids who couldn’t handle punk or metal. The track is filled with silly, fake-deep lines like “Alarm goes off without a sound / The silence is so loud,” and yet it’s not without its appeal. Regardless, it feel...
Still trying to recapture the inexplicable magic that propelled “Counting Blue Cars” toward the top of the charts three years earlier, Dishwalla made their contribution to the soundtrack with “Find Your Way Back Home.” At its best, the track expels the anguish of college radio, but at its worst, it’s dangerously close to being a Creed song. Either ...
Oddly enough, of all the songs that made the soundtrack, “You Wanted More” has probably had the longest shelf life, if only because it still routinely pops up in sports bars all across the Midwest today. Still riding the success of “If You Could Only See,” Tonic played with the strange contrast between crunchy guitars and sappy lyrics, which oddly ...
Why aren’t there more songs that open with the band saying their own name in the lyrics? Super TransAtlantic was easy listening for a new generation, and “Super Down” was their thesis statement. The song is very much stranded in time, but never in a way that makes it unbearable. In fact, it’s often just sweet enough to be charming.
Tender and cute, “Good Morning Baby” was an unexpectedly impeccable pairing of Bic Runga and Semisonic’s Dan Wilson. For many, it’s an instant wave of nostalgia. It’s such an easy track to ascribe memories to. What’s more, it’s the kind of song you find yourself humming for the rest of the day. It was a safe pick for the mix cd you made for your ei...
"American Pie" is a song by American singer and songwriter Don McLean. Recorded and released in 1971 on the album of the same name , the single was the number-one US hit for four weeks in 1972 starting January 15 [2] after just eight weeks on the US Billboard charts (where it entered at number 69).

- It's still the longest song ever to top the Billboard Hot 100, at a whopping eight minutes and 36 seconds. The 45rpm single had to be split into two parts, naturally, and some DJs only played one side or the other, although most acquiesced and played the uninterrupted album version, due to the song's phenomenal popularity.
- In a survey of the greatest Songs Of The Century, "American Pie" came in at number five. The end-of-the-millennium list was jointly sponsored by the National Endowment For The Arts and the RIAA in 2001.
- McLean has steadfastly refused to discuss the meaning of most of the lyrics. "As you can imagine, over the years I've been asked many times to discuss and explain my song 'American Pie,'" McLean wrote in an open letter to fans in 1993.
- The first major cover version was by... the Brady Bunch, in a recording that is a staple of Worst Covers Of All Time lists. A scant year after McLean's song hit the big time, TV's favorite non-nuclear family recorded it for their first album, 1972's Meet The Brady Bunch.
According to McLean, "American Pie" was originally inspired by the death of Buddy Holly. "I loved his music," he told Songfacts. "When that whole crash happened, it was a real ache in my heart. So, I ended up bringing back all those memories of 1959 and the things that happened later." "The Day The Music Died" is February 3, 1959, when Holly ...
Jul 19, 2022 · On February 3, 1959, the music died when rising American rock and roll artists Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and J.P. “The Big Bopper” Richardson were killed in a plane crash, just minutes ...
