Raisin the Stakes question


Is this based off a movie or something, cause they are signing a lot and I was wondering where they might have gotta the idea for this episode.

anyone know?

reply

well not really, well I guesse, the movie it is simular too is Pink Floyd's "The Wall" with Scudworth building his fence, and it being a rock opera, but its also simular to the who's "Tommy", also a rock opera, rent them both, they are awesome films based on awesome music!

My friend just showed me the show, and when I heard there was a rock opera episode, I begged her to play it, especially after all those rock opera marathons I forced her through...so yeah, I looked at her and laughed really hard whenever they referenced Tommy or The Wall. You know, sort of gave her that "Get it? It's from those movies I made you watch, so now you should get the references!" look.

Oh, there's also obvious references to Yellow Submarine.

I miss having all the replies on one page

yeah, Id say it's no one thing, Tommy and The wall are good answers and Id say Jesus Christ Superstar as well
