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?

Can you get her to sing the song/hum the tune? Maybe that'll help 😵‍💫

sittingonabeach · 22/09/2025 00:13

Does she have free rein to watch what she wants?

Sing Street
School of Rock
Lemonade mouth

Beetlejuice ? Too old? Not many boys, but first thing that sprang to mind

or Jamiroqaui…I think am too out of touch for this 🤣

Omg I’m dying to know

Real “boys”, green hair, black and white room, singing, “hats” over the green hair -? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NJOO5siKrMI

It could be The Hives, in the video for Come On. They wear top hats, the background is zebra stripes and the lighting makes their hair look green.

Maybe.

If she’s watching Harry Potter then maybe it’s Jarvis Cocker’s band at the ball?

It's not A Clockwork Orange is it?

It is a while since I watched it, but the singing in the rain scene they are in a black and white room/top hats and although no green hair, there is a lot of use of vibrant colour and dramatic music.

Not sure if this would be on at the time your DD was channel surfing though. It is probably an advert for something; by design they are memorable. What is the word for a visual earworm? Hope you get to the bottom of it!

There’s ALWAYS an add on our kids Netflix for K-Pop demon hunters;

@user892734543544gosh, I remember that film really well, from my childhood, it's an old film

I looked it up. It was made in 1947/8. If it was a black and white film, and only the boys hair was green, it might explain why the room was black and white.

Is it worth getting the dvd for?

How can I hide a thread?! I made a comment on page 1 and I can’t believe this is still limping on!

Depends where you want to stop seeing it

Go to the down arrow at the very top right of the thread, where the breadcrumb trail is on the top left ("Talk> AIBU") and click "hide thread".

You can remove it from your Threads I'm On and Watched Threads. Or untick "watch this thread' at the bottom of the thread above the 'preview'/'post' buttons.

K pop demon hunters? My ds watchers or the other day as all the kids in school have seen it apperntly! It was awful lol

BaronessBomburst · 23/09/2025 08:55

I remember when DS, who was around 2, kept asking us to play Fire Hole. After over a week of crying, begging and tantrums it came on the radio. Turned out to be Coldplay - Violet Hill.
