Many moons ago I posted a challenge that involved making opening credits for L&C using title themes from other shows. Nobody took me up on it, but the idea kept floating around my head and I had some free time on my hands today. The result is... interesting, I guess. I don't even know if I like it, but I thought I'd put it out there and see what others think.

We Used to Be Friends (Veronica Mars Title Theme)
Music: The Dandy Warhols

Clark: "Lois? She's bossy. She's stuck up, she's rude... I can't stand her."
Lana: "The best ones always start that way."

Nice! I'm just waiting for the latest episode of Veronica Mars to download, and that was a nice little intro to it.

I absolutely adored this! I'm a huuuuuge Veronica Mars fan and this is one of my favorite Dandy Warhols songs; I love how you've applied it to Lois & Clark. Great job!

Thanks, Marcus, Tahu and angelic. It was a lot of fun to make. Anyone want to try their hand at a Buffy-style intro? wink

My friend keeps on urging me to check out VM, but so far I've never gotten to it. So the theme was new to me.

Are you trying to recreate the style of the opening credits, as well as using the theme? I loved the 'negative' flashes and the torn memo page look. Are these from the look of the VM credits? Either way - very cool!

Aramis: Yes, sorry.
Athos: No, no, by all means, let's keep things suicidal.

Yep, that's the idea. The torn memo pages are from the VM credits. They didn't use negative flashes, I believe, but I felt they worked so well with the clapping.

Thanks for the fdk, LabRat!

I came out of hibernation and lurking to tell you how much I love this! I am obsessed with VM more than I am with L&C... so that's saying something. this is such an awesome idea, and well executed. I never knew any other FOLCs were VM fans! Yay!

So cool! I'm a huge fan of Veronica Mars. Too bad I'm usually not home when it is on.

Great vid. (And as you see, I've finally figured them out.)
