Listen to the Beyond Clueless Theme Song

Its lyrics are filed with references to some seriously classic teen movie.



Summer Camp, the duo of Jeremy Warmsley and Elizabeth Sankey, were known teen movie enthusiasts from the get-go; their first "single" was a cover of "I Only Have Eyes For You" that sampled a particularly biting monologue from Heathers ("You were a bluebird…you were a brownie….you were a Girl Scout cookie.") So it makes sense that the pair wound up composing the music for Beyond Clueless, a documentary directed by Charlie Lyne examining the surplus of American teen films made between 1995 and 2004. The doc's theme song, streaming below, is a nostalgic piece of guitar-pop that lyrically winks at some of these films and even directly quotes a few, like the doomed adolescent poetry from The Virgin Suicides: ("The trees like lungs filling up with air/ my sister, the mean one, pulling my hair") or the iconic "you're a waste of perfectly good yearbook space" dis from She's All That. A couple months ago, Charlie Lyne recommended eight teen movies that he thought we should watch immediately; revisit his picks right here.
