Hall and Oates

[fronobulax]

This must have been a pricey scene.

Yeah but as an audience member the emotional impact of the soundtrack at that moment was hugely positive.

Of course they could have gotten a similar effect from Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries although I have a vague recollection Marvel may have used it elsewhere

I did like the song I listened to, of Fripp and Hall gathering ; Robert Fripp haircut remains quite ugly, but at least the music is interesting (miles above the Fripp-Frip duo with the wife). I'm surprised to see what they can make of this music together, as it's not easy at all to play...Rather impressive as a matter of fact. Thanks for posting it !

The song itself is 40+ years old. Here's what it sounded like on the Daryl solo album:


This is what it sounded like on the Fripp album (with different words and Peter Hammil & Tere Roche singing)


On the full Daryl's House episode, they also do a I-IV-V You Burn Me Up (I'm a Cigarette) which is on the Fripp album with Daryl singing, as well as the King Crimson favorite Red.

Thanks for the infos. Which year was it that they cut Daryl's album ?
As for Robert Fripp, I think I must have owned this album (sounds familiar to me)...Is Daryl singing there (on R. Fripp's album), or is it Adrian Belew (thought it was Adrian).
BTW (bout Mr. Fripp), We may not have had enough of him, but we did have enough of his wife Ha ! (just kidding).

Sacred Songs was recorded in 1977, about the same times as the Fripp and PG albums, but was not released until 1980. Fripp's Exposure has several different singers on it, including Daryl on You Burn Me Up (I'm a Cigarette) and much more in his familiar style on North Star. There are other singers on the album though including Peter Hammil (who does sound like Daryl on the edgier material), Tere Roche, as well as some spoken word from J. G. Bennett. Belew doesn't show up with Fripp until the reformed King Crimson around 1982 or so. In between, there's some bizarre dance music with members of the Talking Heads, XTC and Gang of Four.

Fripp has been doing all sort of things - I don't like them all -, but he seems to have retired now, allowing himself not to be serious at last I bet ! I sometimes hope he will get tired of it some day still ...
Thanks again for these complementary infos too.

Yep. Syncing licenses are BIG money. The bigger the band, the bigger the fee, the bigger the movie, make that fee even bigger. Unlike royalties for a band covering a song, where anyone can cover anyone’s song…you just have to pay royalties to the rights holders based on units pressed/streamed. W/ a syncing license, where music is put in tv/film, prior approval by the rights holders is required as the visuals can change the context of a given song. Some bands will go as far as giving notes on a screening of a proposed sync, telling the director what they will and will not allow to be on screen while their song is playing…and when the song should start/stop. Fees for bigger bands like The Beatles/Zeppelin can get up in the 1-2-3 million dollar range for just 2-3 minutes of music. It’s why blockbuster films often have a 25 million dollar budget just for the soundtrack. There’s definitely money to be made, as had been noted, if the new catalog owners are much more relaxed w/ their syncing approvals. I can already see songs being used as double entendres for tv advertising. Something the original artists would have never allowed.

But by selling their catalog they are allowing such uses. They just don't have to think about it nor administer it...just invest a bunch of $$$.
