And thus begins the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon.

"Shout" was a Top 10 hit in 1964 for The Isley Bros. Otis Day and the Knights was a made-up band for the movie, but because of the movie's success and popularity of their performance, they became a touring band themselves. If you went to a wedding in the '80s, you heard "Shout" at least once...and it was the Otis Day and the Knight's version, not the original by The Isley Bros.

The script was created by the writers sitting down and sharing personal college stories. Apparently some of the stories were even too appalling to use in the movie. You can't imagine what it was like to see this in a packed theater on a college campus. I saw it when it came out, and as far as I know, it's the origin of the toga party - at least as we know it now. The movie was shot on an actual campus in Oregon (USA), and the actors did things together to bond as a group. This resulted in an actual fight with members of one of the real fraternities. Ah, youth.
