| 1 | !!The band: |
| 2 | * HarsherInHindsight: The following lyrics from "The Pusher." This was only a few years before the UsefulNotes/RichardNixon press conference that led to the popularization of the term "[[UsefulNotes/TheWarOnDrugs War On Drugs]]": |
| 3 | --> Well now if I were the president of this land\ |
| 4 | You know I'd declare total war on the pusher man |
| 5 | * SongAssociation: |
| 6 | ** If you've watched a movie or seen a commercial since 1968, chances are you've heard "Born To Be Wild" at least once. |
| 7 | ** Fans of the ''Franchise/MarvelCinematicUniverse'' likely recognize "Hey Lawdy Mama" as the song that plays when Creator/StanLee makes his final cameo in ''Film/AvengersEndgame''. |
| 8 | ** ''Franchise/StarTrek'' fans tend to associate "Magic Carpet Ride" with Zefrem Cochrane's historic warp flight in ''Film/StarTrekFirstContact'', which, in-universe, set the stage for FirstContact with an alien species, the Vulcans, and the Federation's founding. (It's actually associated in-universe too, as ''WesternAnimation/StarTrekLowerDecks'' showed us when the lead characters went on a re-enactment flight at a historical theme park.) |
| 9 | * ValuesResonance: "Rock Me" is surprisingly progressive for a classic rock song, since it's about a young woman who wants to help others and improve the world, but becomes disillusioned after getting sexually objectified and learning that there aren't easy answers in life. And the drums-and-chanting middle section sounds like an early attempt to use WorldMusic in a rock setting. |
