Rainy Days, They Ain’t So Bad When You’re the King…

For the second edition of Dream Movie Soundtrack, this time starring the instant classic “Fans” by Kings of Leon, we thought the first movie pitch could be a drama, called something like, oh I don’t know, how about When Lyrics Conflict: The Epic Tale of WHY THE FUCK DOES NO ONE KNOW THE REAL LYRICS TO THIS SONG?!
