Culture episode Season seven, Episode

0:27

seven, French Twist. The Yale Daily News team

0:29

has gathered to thank Rory for her time as editor

0:32

in chief. Bill to Rory Roy, thank

0:34

you very much. I didn't write a speech or anything, although

0:36

I could recite, recite the Charge

0:39

of the Light Brigade or the lyrics to Rebel

0:41

Rebel. The Charge of the Light Brigade

0:44

is an eighteen fifty four narrative

0:46

poem by Alfred Lloyd Tennyson. Rebel

0:48

Rebel is a song by the incomparable

0:50

David Bowie from the album

0:53

Diamond Dogs, which

0:56

that is an album cover that disturbed me and

0:58

my friends Beck in the day. Did

1:01

you know? The song has been described

1:03

as Bowie's farewell to the glam rock

1:06

movement that he helped initiate,

1:08

and what a song it is.

1:11

We'll get right back to pop culture. After these

1:14

messages.

1:19

Lane is freaking out about telling her mother

1:21

she's pregnant, and Zach distracts her with a

1:23

photo and Zack says, WHOA,

1:25

you know what? This picture is our first album

1:27

cover. It was the ultrasound

1:30

picture and Lisa's Zack, and Zack

1:33

says, yeah, it's like a prenatal never Mind. Never

1:35

Mind is the second studio album

1:37

created by the rock band Nirvana. It was their

1:40

first release on a major label and the first to feature

1:42

the drummer Dave Grohl, who is now

1:44

the lead singer of Foo Fighters. The album

1:46

cover shows a naked baby boy swimming underwater

1:49

with a dollar bill on a fish hook just out of his

1:51

reach.

1:52

Did you want to bring this up? But is this the picture that

1:54

this kid keeps suing them?

1:56

Yes?

1:57

Yeah, exactly. Hopefully

2:00

Lane's kids won't sue her. But did

2:02

you know Kurt Cobaine conceived the idea

2:05

no pun intended while watching a television

2:07

program on water birds.

2:09

I believe it, and they should have used a kid

2:11

they knew, always a better way to go.

2:13

Laura Li and Christopher arrived in Paris and just

2:16

dropped off Gigi with Sherry. Laura

2:18

I says, yeah, she seems grounded and sincere I

2:20

couldn't believe how prepared for Gigi she

2:22

was. Christopher says she was. She

2:24

had her favorite Madeline book, she knew

2:27

where the nearest park was, and did you see

2:29

she already had a booster seat?

2:32

Madeline is a nineteen thirty nine book written

2:35

and illustrated by Ludwig Bemelmans.

2:38

The book is known for its rhyme scheme and colorful

2:40

images of Paris. There are a total

2:42

of six books, which have also been adapted

2:45

into a television series and film.

2:47

And did you know that each of the Madeline books?

2:50

And with the line that's all there

2:52

is, there isn't anymore, which

2:54

comes from Ethel Barrymore Drew

2:56

Barrymore's great aunt when she used

2:59

to rebuff Kurt calls on Broadway.

3:02

Parris believes that since Rory is no

3:04

longer editor of the paper, she is going

3:06

to struggle with so much free time like she did.

3:09

Paris says, you know, you really shouldn't

3:11

be alone at a time like this. Why don't you

3:13

call your Girls Gone Wild friends? They seemed delightful

3:15

in a get crazy, drunken cancun and flash

3:17

your breast kind of way. Girls

3:20

Gone Wild was an adult entertainment franchise

3:22

created by Joe Francis in nineteen ninety

3:24

seven. The videos typically involved

3:26

camera crews at party locations engaging

3:28

young college aged women who exposed their bodies

3:31

or act quote unquote wild.

3:34

Did you know the company that owns Girls Gone Wild

3:36

and all its related brands went bankrupt.

3:38

Joe Francis to creator fled to Mexico nearly

3:40

a decade ago. Amidst all of this, there

3:43

was some kind of drama. There's a lot of

3:45

drama. I mean, and we

3:48

said college aged women, but a lot

3:50

of the drama was that they weren't even of age. Yeah,

3:53

yeah, yeah, So there was a lot of stickiness.

3:56

Stepher and Laura Li fell asleep.

3:59

I missed third dinner subject, so

4:01

now they are trying to go back to bed to

4:03

wake up fresh in the morning. So wide awake,

4:05

I could watch the Ken Burns documentary of SOD

4:07

and not drift off. There are one hundred

4:10

and four flirt Elys stenciled on the ceiling.

4:12

That's how wide awake I am. I tried

4:14

humming Brahm's Lullaby in my head,

4:16

but it kept morphing into purple rain. And purple

4:18

rain made me think of grapes, which made me think of grape

4:20

jam, which made me think of English muffins slathered

4:23

in great grape jam. This was a particular

4:25

line I hated because I thought, that's

4:28

the witty banter that just wasn't

4:30

working. But anyway. Ken Burns

4:32

is a historian known for his documentary film.

4:35

Shot I'm sorry, but a great looking shot

4:37

overhead?

4:38

Yes it was.

4:39

That was great, Yes it was. Many

4:41

of which Ken's Burns

4:43

documentaries discuss American history and culture.

4:46

Brahm's Lullaby was written by Johannes

4:48

Brahms, a German composer and pianist of

4:50

the Romantic period. Purple Rain,

4:53

Come On, Who Doesn't Know? It's a nineteen eighty

4:55

four song album and musical drama film

4:57

by Prince Did you Know? Purple

4:59

Rain was originally written as a country song and

5:02

intended to be a collaboration with Stevie Nicks,

5:04

who was also eleven minutes long,

5:06

which frightened Stevie. Did

5:09

you also know? Nothing Compares to You? Sinead O'Connor's

5:11

big hit was written by Prince.

5:13

Think, Yes, that's true.

5:15

Good song.

5:16

Rory is alone in her apartment and calls

5:18

Olivia, what's Lucy doing watching

5:21

Real World?

5:22

Denver?

5:22

Lucy's eating it up with a fork and spoon because

5:25

boyfriend's working and you know how much

5:27

he hates reality TV. First of all,

5:29

the fact that they call him boyfriend is so annoying. Does

5:32

he Oh, I keep forgetting you still haven't

5:34

Matt boyfriend? Yeah, I'm beginning to

5:36

wonder if he really exists or if he's just Lucy's

5:39

snuffle up against. This banter

5:42

is awful. The Real World

5:44

Denver was the eighteen season of MTV's

5:46

reality show, which aired from November

5:48

two thousand and six to May two

5:50

thousand and seven. Mister

5:53

stuffal Upagus, I've never heard him called mister, but

5:55

I know snuffle up Agus is from Sesame

5:57

Street. He's sort of like a mammoth mixed

5:59

with a joke aunt eater. He is Big Bird's

6:01

best friend, but is believed to be imaginary, as

6:03

Big Bird was the only one to ever see him. Did

6:06

you know that? In

6:09

the early eighties, producers of Sesame Street feared

6:11

that if they represented adults not believing

6:14

what kids said, they might not be motivated to tell the truth.

6:16

This led them to changing the storyline of the show,

6:18

which I always heard was at the time,

6:21

you know, they really wanted kids to come forward if they

6:23

were being abused or

6:25

mistreated, and so they changed

6:28

it so that kids would know if

6:30

you tell an adult something's happening

6:32

to you, they will believe you. Which yeay,

6:35

Sesame Street gotta love it, Danielle.

6:37

Do you remember in the last season of Real House Sives

6:39

of Orange County when someone called

6:41

someone else a snuffle up agains.

6:43

Yeah, this reminded me of that.

6:48

All right, Christopher and Laurela. I find someone

6:51

with bread. They attempt to converse

6:53

with him. Bread guy, funkins.

6:58

Laura.

6:59

I yeah, funny hungry American. Huh,

7:01

bread Guy.

7:02

Everybody Loves Raymond.

7:05

Everybody Loves Raymond was a sitcom created by Phil

7:07

Rosenthal, starring Ray Romano, Patricia

7:10

heat and Brad Garrett Dorris Roberts. Did you know Brad

7:12

Garrett made the headlines in two thousand and three for staging

7:14

a walkout on set over

7:16

the disparity of pay between cast

7:19

members. I love that thanks

7:22

to his actions, he got a raise from

7:24

the network and the entire cast

7:26

got a piece of the syndication money.

7:29

Oh funny twist. In

7:31

a funny twist, Phil Rosenthal,

7:34

It's funny that they mentioned Everybody Loves Raymond

7:37

with the bread Guy because Phil Rosenthal is

7:39

now more famous than ever for Everybody

7:41

Feed Phil. He goes around. He's got

7:43

like books about food, children's books

7:45

about food, a TV show about food. So

7:49

I wonder if Filmore Girls was a bit fortuitous.

7:52

With Susan

7:54

franch.

7:56

All right, we.

7:56

Didn't even talk about that. Your last name's French.

8:01

But it's English. It's English. Friend

8:03

anyway, Sure, okay,

8:14

Rory, Lucy, and Olivia are sitting on loralized

8:16

porchs with vinegar and tinfoil in their hair.

8:19

Lucy says, boyfriend's got great hair. Olivia

8:21

says, oh, the best. It's like beyond human.

8:24

Rory says, like Conan O'Brien's. Lucy

8:27

says, no, it's just like really full. It's more like

8:29

a cartoon character. Yeah, it's like Snap's

8:31

hair from Snap, Crackle and Pop. Wait

8:33

am I thinking of Crackle.

8:36

In this scene? I'm so sorry I interrupted.

8:38

That whole section went on way too long.

8:42

Yeah, trying too hard to have witty

8:44

banter that isn't witty. Yeah

8:46

anyway.

8:48

Conan O'Brien is a comedian and television

8:50

host for late night talk shows. With a great head

8:52

of hair, Snap, Crackle, and Pop are

8:54

three gnome like elves that are cartoon mascots

8:57

of rice crispies. Did you know

8:59

that In the early nineteen fifties there was a

9:01

fourth elf named Paw, but he

9:03

was later dropped.

9:05

Wait why showed.

9:09

PHOTOO cracked

9:11

more money?

9:13

H Yeah, he was

9:15

Brad Garrett's inspiration.

9:18

Lorelai is reflecting on how happy and

9:20

grateful she gets to be in Paris with Christopher.

9:22

Christopher says, we can sleep all day

9:25

and wander the town in the night. And that stuff

9:27

we did back in the hotel room, we can definitely

9:29

do that back in stars Hollow. Lorelai

9:32

says, are you saying We'll always have Paris?

9:34

We'll always have Paris? Is a famous line in

9:37

the nineteen forty two drama Casablanca.

9:39

The line refers to the romance Lisa and

9:41

Rick shared while they were in Paris

9:44

and did you know The line has also been used in countless

9:46

films, books, and TV shows, including Star

9:49

Trek, The Next Generation.

9:52

Lucy and Olivia show Rory They're forbidden

9:54

Fjords dresses, Olivia says,

9:57

two halloweens ago, Lucy and I went to a

9:59

party and Don

10:01

without Tony Orlando. Tony

10:03

Orlando and Don is a pop music

10:05

group from the nineteen seventies and did you

10:07

know Tony Orlando had several

10:10

songs co authored by Carol King,

10:12

including Halfway to Paradise and I Can't

10:14

Stop Talking About You.

10:16

Lucy and Olivia are telling Marty about

10:18

visiting Stars Hollow, you expect

10:20

Professor Harold Hill to move there and

10:22

sucker everyone into buying band instruments.

10:25

Harold Hill is the main character in the musical

10:28

The Music Man. The role was

10:30

originated by Robert Preston, but many

10:32

more Hollywood actors have played the character, from Dick

10:34

Van Dyke, Matthew Broderick, Jeff

10:36

Goldwim, Eric McCormick, and Hugh

10:40

Jackman. The nineteen sixty two

10:42

movie starred Robert Preston, was filmed on the

10:44

Warner Brothers lot in the same area

10:46

of our own Stars follow.

10:48

Dunna Day and that brings
