Movie Soundtrack Feature: "Young Folks"

MOVIE SOUNDTRACK FEATURE: "YOUNG FOLKS"

Peter Bjorn and John "Young Folks"






This song comes from a personal favorite movie of mine, 21. It's a movie about the card game blackjack. More specifically, it is based on the true story of the blackjack team from MIT. Incredibly intelligent students who were great at math were brought together by a professor to learn how to count cards and create a system to sweep through any casino in Vegas. The soundtrack, while not dazzling in terms of awards that previous ones had, falls in line with what you would expect from a movie based on a college experience. There are plenty of more alternative and indie songs that I would argue are actually fairly well known. "Young Folks" falls into that category, and it's got a very catchy beat. It was moderately successful on alternative charts across the world, being more popular in Europe. This is probably based on the fact that the group is originally from Sweden. Even though nothing is flashy about the success of anything related to today's pick, I certainly hope you'll enjoy it.
