Cass Elliot's "Make Your Own Kind of Music"

[Arzt]

Why did the writers choose this song? From what we've seen, TPTB don't just add anything without a significance. What do you think?

it was just soo out of place that it totally worked, like singin in the rain in clockwork orange. GENIOUS!!!

[The Czar]

that was in place lol i think its funny that it is

"Even if nobody else sings along"

"It can't be nowhere
The loneliest kind of lonely
It may be
Just to do your thing is the hardest things to do"

brilliant reference, perfect. that is exactly how it made me feel, all creepy like in clockwork orange. still does.

[Count2Five]

Yeah I thought it was an odd choice for music, I was like what the hell???

[LOSTSOL]

funny i thought about clockwork orange as well...like how everthing was so 70's yet ultra modern

[Lost_Mommy]

Wow, I hadn 't thought it through that far. I just thought it was used to show how long that stuff had been down there. There is such an odd mix of retro and modern in the hatch. I don't really know what to make of it.

You kids are lucky to have an old person like me to explain this to you! This song is one of a type of song popular in the 60s. There was this whole "do your own thing" culture. The words to "Make Your Own Kind of Music" are all about individuality, making your own decisions, taking a stand and changing the world. Desmond seems to be making his own music, and I'm thinking he's doing something in that hole he thinks will change the world for the better. He's an old retread hippy.

Crap! This is why no one responded to my thread, here (http://www.lost-forum.com/showthread.php?t=14112). Whoops.

I think this song is significant because of its release date, it was released in 1970, which supports the timeline of the rest of the items in the bunker (1970s)

Exactly like the old stationary bike the reel to reel and the fact that he was playing records!!

[btmk]

I YSIed it if anyone wants the song.

[BrandyRena]

I felt so creepy too, expessially when Jack was going through and he heard the song. I just kept picturing how Jack must have felt, going in some strange hatch where your friends have just disappeared and then hearing Cass Elliot blaring down there. CREEPY!!

But the washer/dryer are 21st century Whirlpool Duets (http://www.whirlpool.com/catalog/product.jsp?src=WASHERS&categoryId=115&productId=218). What gives???

[andrewbash]

maybe he made them... or not.

[buffyfan145]

Thanks for putting the name and singer of the song. I was wondering what song it was. I normally know a lot of music and I couldn't figure out what the song was. And it worked for the creepynees part of the show!!! That way we recongined Desmond.

[elleesa]

If his stuff breaks down, is he going to replace them with 1970's crap or what's out now? Maybe he needed a new washer-dryer. Wonder how he got them?
