A re-recorded version of this song was made for a film,name the film
And i want to know when recording this song how many toilet rolls were used?

Furniture

Stiff/ZTT Records

A re-recorded version of "Brilliant Mind" was featured in the John Hughes film, Some Kind of Wonderful.

Half a roll of soft toilet paper because British consumers insist on a softer, more luxurious texture than their less discriminating continental and American cousins. The average British toilet roll is also 14mm longer and 2mm wider than a continental roll. British toilet paper is four grammes heavier per square metre because it contains more fibre than European tissues. The British product also has 40 more sheets per roll.

8 flies including two dead from gas poisoning. That's because those two were in lower part of the ablutions

What 70's rock star who has sold more than sold more than 35 million albums appeared in an episode of The Simpsons, "I Don't Wanna Know Why the Caged Bird Sings"?

Ted Nugent!!! (I had originally thought Elton John, but that's another episode...)

I'm still working on the Muddy Waters/Rolling Stones lyric change thing...

Evan you are definitely a champ at answering R&R related questions. I thought that last question might be a bit on the tough side.

Here's one of my favourite Nuge songs:

Hey Baby - Live



Even back then Uncle Ted certainly had his chops down pat. Live Rock and Roll at its best.

8 flies including two dead from gas poisoning.

I'm sorry Brian there was only 4 flies,but the toliet roll information was brilliant cheers.
One of my mates plays bass for The Fratellis. What is the name of the film that they got the band name from?

You're mates with Barry Fratelli? Way coooooooool Scotty!

Given "Fratelli" is Italian for "brothers", this could be any one of a number of Italian dramas, like "Tre Fratelli" (Three Brothers) by Zefferelli or Rocco e i suoi Fretelli (Rocco and his Brothers) by Visconti. I'm hoping it isn't The Goonies, that really trashy kid's movie, where the evil family are the Fratellis....but given they're Glaswegian....

Oh oh its the Goonies!I first got introduced to Barry just before he joined The fratellis.It was not long after the band went Turbo and they sold Costello music by the bucket loads.I am friendly with Barrys parents also ive go camping with Andy, Barrys dad.I know the family through my best friend being their relative.Anyway It is the Goonies!

They have a great looking website.

The Electric Light Orchestra earned a gold record in 1976 with their first hits package. OLÉ ELO contained their earlier hits, including “Roll Over Beethoven,” “Showdown,” “Can’t Get It Out of My Head,” “Evil Woman” and “Strange Magic,” as well as the-hit-that-should-have-been, “Ma-Ma-Ma-Belle.”

Boston earned their third top 40 single in the U.S. when “Peace of Mind” peaked at number 38 in 1977. The song was taken from their multi-platinum selling debut album. “More Than a Feeling” and “Long Time” had also been successful on the singles chart, and are still held as rock classics by fans everywhere. Tom Scholz, later invented the portable guitar device, The Rockman.
