Oh Serendipity
RKVC Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Grosse Pointe Blank, Sixteen Candles in my head.
Oh Serendipity, Say Anything!
Oh Serendipity, Say Anything!
Being John Malkovich in High Fidelity,
Must Love Dogs, would you stand, Stand By Me?
Oh Serendipity, Say Anything!
Oh Serendipity, Say Anything!
Gimmie a Hot Tub Time Machine, the Cradle Will Rock,
A Thin Red Line, Pushing Tin, Shadows and Fog.
1408...2012!
Oh Serendipity, Say Anything!
Oh Serendipity, Say Anything!
One Crazy Summer I was Better Off Dead,
Grosse Pointe Blank, Sixteen Candles in my head.
The lyrics to RKVC's song "Oh Serendipity" allude to a handful of popular films from the 1980s and 1990s, as well as a few from the early 2000s. The lines "One Crazy Summer I was Better Off Dead, Grosse Pointe Blank, Sixteen Candles in my head" reference the titles of three 80s films that center around teenage characters and their struggles, both comical and serious. Meanwhile, "Being John Malkovich in High Fidelity" brings up two popular indie films from the late 90s and early 2000s that deal with unconventional love stories.
