Saves the Day - Hot Time in Delaware

Movie Samples as Song Intros 4
Before Saves the Day found their identity they were just a couple of kids in New Jersey ripping off Lifetime**, trying to figure it all out. Songs all clocked in at under 2 minutes, lyrics were god awful, and musicianship was questionable. But it's what we liked. It wasn't much of a surprise, then, that just like similar artists they went the movie scene intro route on the track "Hot Time in Delaware" which appeared on the 1998 album Can't Slow Down. And even though Saves the Day's lineup has changed significantly over the years and now sound more like the Beatles-meet-grunge than the Ramones (or Lifetime**), it's still nice to hear something from Can't Slow Down at their concerts, which they were nice enough to do last Friday.

I should mention that my girlfriend and I haven't missed an opportunity to see Saves the Day on any of their tours since about 2006, so this one is near and dear to me.

And for comparison's sake, here's what Saves the Day sounds more like now:

**Both Lifetime links lead to a song called "Turnpike Gates" which also used a film sample intro.
