Cultural References

The alternative pop/rock band They Might Be Giants released a song entitled "Sensurround" that was incorporated in the soundtrack to Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie and (in a different, faster-paced recording) their EP S-E-X-X-Y. The song makes several references to the innovation, especially as used in Earthquake. An early FoxTrot comic has Jason presenting his dinosaur movie in Sensurround. The Sex Pistols song 'Holidays in the Sun' makes reference to Sensurround in the opening of the second verse ("In Sensurround sound, in a two inch wall, I was waiting for the communist call").

Famous quotes containing the word cultural:

    Hard times accounted in large part for the fact that the exposition was a financial disappointment in its first year, but Sally Rand and her fan dancers accomplished what applied science had failed to do, and the exposition closed in 1934 with a net profit, which was donated to participating cultural institutions, excluding Sally Rand.
