To ask you to help me work out which film DD5 is trying to describe

DD5 is looking for this film:

It has the boys with hats and green hair in a black and white room. And the boys sing.

Wtf?

That's a no.

"It's real boys with green hair"

And Outkast was an amazing shout. But also, no.

Really really surprised to hear it wasn't the Onceler. It fit her ideas as well as it could. Is there any possibility she has combined more than one idea and what your actually looking for doesn't exist?

Nope, she knows what trolls are.

These are boys.

The Smurfs.

My first thought was Harry Potter, but I’m sure she’d know if it was that. It’s hardly obscure!
Good luck finding it!

I would have said K Pop Demon Hunters. It's everywhere at the moment

Definitely this. My DCs are obsessed with it. I know the words to the songs. It is good.

Another here who thinks this is it. It certainly fits with a lot of what your DD is describing.

This is exactly what I was about to post. I'd put money on it being the Onceler.

Any time you ask AI something, follow up by asking AI 'what was incorrect about your previous response'... and it will usually figure that out and tell you where it is wrong!!

I have no idea what film/show/video it is though, sorry.

To be more exact with my answer - the Onceler character from The Lorax - there’s guitars involved in his song.

Outkast - Hey ya

Matches the black and white and green theme. Also hats.

I have no recollection of that scene 🤣

And that's because it doesn't exist apparently

Google AI says:

The film you are most likely thinking of is A Cinderella Story (2004).
The scene you described features a fictional boy band called The Hill's Angels. They have green hair, wear hats, and perform a song in a black and white room. The song they sing is a rendition of "A Dream Is a Wish Your Heart Makes" from the original Cinderella.

I have no recollection of that scene 🤣

Can you check her viewing history on Netflix? If you click on the profile icon you can find “Recently watched” and “Continue watching”.

Haha I knew this reminded me of something - Jamiroquai!

PaperDreamsHoney · 20/09/2025 16:59

Could it have been a trailer for something?

PaperDreamsHoney · 20/09/2025 16:51

Is the whole room black and white or could it be a checked floor like a ballroom or something?

Ooh, I remember that film being on tv when I was a little girl, so late 1950s/early 60s. Everyone we knew had black & white televisions then so it was a bit disappointing Confused

The Lorax

We have now identified that the singing green haired boys' hats are top hats.

What the buggery fuck is this??

You'll discover in about 3 years time when you've driven yourself certifiably insane, that it is a TV advert or something 😆
