This year marks the 20th year of the release of American Pie (1999). This joyful youth love (pa) love (pa) movie leaves the audience with not only memories of hormones, but also a lot of memorable musical works.
I have a good friend who always shows a silly smile when he mentions "American Pie", but every time I ask him what plot is funny, he lets me watch it myself. Later, I finally finished watching a series and found that the happiness of American youth is really indescribable.

The film was full of absurd and hilarious plots, unscrupulous summers and all kinds of youthfulness, which made a deep impression on people, and was once very popular, and won many nominations for the Teen Choice Awards.
However, in today's age of national #Metoo, Hollywood has stopped favoring male-dominated sex films.
What's more, there are scenes such as "Japanese Pie" in "American Pie", if it is put today 20 years later, it must have been nailed to the pillar of shame long ago.
But then again, although this film is not quite in line with the current political correctness, it still accompanies many people's ignorant years.
Seeing the live nude dance of the protagonist Jim, Michelle's Summer Camp of the Band of Ten Thousand Years and Motherfucker, it will still make people shy and laugh.
In addition to the story itself, the cheerful soundtrack in the film is also very well fitted.
At that time, Americans loved to listen to pop punk and alternative rock, so they invited musicians such as Blink 182, Nude Girl, and Goldfinger to co-produce the soundtrack.
To this day, these songs still sound full of "American pie".
The song accompanies Jim's debut and coincides with the cheerful atmosphere in the film.
Founded in 1994, The Blind Hearts Orchestra is still active in the American music scene and is currently preparing a new album and tour. In addition, the band's hit single "Semi-Charmed Life" also appeared in this film.
The band name Naked Lady sounds like it was inspired by American Pie (and isn't). Despite the controversial name, the Canadian rock band has been around for more than three decades and has produced 16 albums.
Among their works, the most famous is the theme song of "The Big Bang Theory".
First released in 1998, One Week was once all the rage. In the final scene of the movie, the charm of this song is even more vividly played.
New Zealand singer Biko Rocca released her first album Drive in 1997, and "Swing" was one of the hits. The song appears in both American Pie (1999) and American Pie 4: American Reunion (2012).
Blink 182 and "American Pie" became popular around the same time, and it is said that the brother also made a cameo in the movie. However, when it comes to the songs in the movie, they did not use the band's hottest singles, but picked this unique "Stupid".
In the hilarity and teasing of the whole movie, the emotional line between Oz and Heather can be said to be a clear stream. Oz, who began to hunt for the "great" pact with the henchmen, began to slowly experience true love after meeting Heather.
The sweet love of the two people is eaten with this song "How Sweet You Love", and the effect is very good.
It was a "rebellious" song composed by Courtney Love during the upswing of her film career because she felt overwhelmed by hollywood glitz, and it was also a famous single by Cave Band.
However, It may never have occurred to Cortney that it would one day be used in the "action scenes" of American Pie.
The veteran punk band Goldfinger - don't ask, ask is no one to disobey, is to dry up, is to add some fierce material to the life of American high school students!
The restless melody is the perfect background music for those teenagers who dress up fashionably.
Because of this, the song, although not included in the official soundtrack, runs through the very important prom party scene in the film.
This brisk love song also has the participation of Biko Roja. Her duet with Dan Wilson was not only harmonious and pleasant, but also full of youthful energy on campus, which made the music director of "American Pie" praise and use it in the film without hesitation.
With the popularity of "American Pie", the song "Summer Time" has also received some attention (now the song on Sportify is called I Am The Summertime).
Although there was no fire, I guess the song's author, Scott Sachs, must have missed the summer of 1999 from time to time, because of such a film, his work has been interpreted differently, and together with Jim, Oz, Kevin, Finch and other "Americans", they have been wandering for 20 years.
