Episode #47, EuroTrip with Lustra's Nick Cloutman

"Scotty Doesn't Know" was written for the film by the band Lustra. It's kind of taken on a life of its own, due in no small part to its hilarious premise -- the lead singer of the band is singing a song about fooling around with Scotty's girlfriend, Fiona, and describing things in excrutiating detail. It's kind of nasty, and hilarious. The fact that Matt Damon's lip-sync'ing it all while pierced to high heaven is icing on the cake. We spoke with Lustra's guitarist, Nick Cloutman, about writing the song and Matt Damon singing for them.

On this episode, we're talking with Nick Cloutman, guitarist for the alt-rock band, Lustra, about their appearance in the 2004 teen comedy, EuroTrip. The 2004 teen comedy has ended up having some surprising legs, due to its absurdist nature. The jokes and situations in the film put it in the arena of films like Supertroopers, with a strong ensemble cast. A good portion of the long-term popularity is due not only to cameos from the likes of Fred Armisen and Lucy Lawless, but also to the catchiness of a song in the film's earlier scenes, entitled "Scotty Doesn't Know," which was written for the film by the band Lustra.
