Description: Need Help

I want to make a BTTF music video as I have made a live-action one before so I think it would be cool to make BTTF music video because it's one of my favortie trilogy's but the problem is I can't seem to find the right song that suits the video I want to make.

I want the song to be light hearted, like a Blink 182 song well I basicly want a cool rock song that would suit BTTF perfectly, especially one that sounds good along Marty in a skateboard or hoverboard chase scene.

Below is the first song I considered but it's not what I'm looking for.

Blink 182 - Small Things

I want this video to be about Marty's adventures with time traveling not romance.

Welcome to the board :D

ummm . . . Back in Time or Eric Clapton's heaven is one step away too obvious?

How about 'Year 3000' by Busted.

or less related ones-

'Middle' Jimmy Eat World, alot like 'All the small things'

'Forever Young' Youth group (although this is a bit slow)


Good luck with your video in any case :)

Hmm...I'm not sure about how appropriate it would be, but "Do You Want To" by Franz Ferdinand might be kind of fun. (Lyrics)

You could probably do some fun things with the lyrics...like the line, "I love your friends, they're all so arty," you could show a random scene of 2015, since the styles of the future might seem "arty" to someone from 1985....

Good luck!

Thanks for trying to help.

For the song the one that came closest to me was Jimmy Eat World's 'Middle' but having the the ''little girl'' part doesn't fit because the song's basicly about a new girl trying to be accepted but the song is close to what I'm looking for but the lyric's just don't fit right.

^ I haven't heard 'Middle' before but maybe these songs might help

'Danger! High Voltage' by Electric Six
'The Reason' by Hoobastank
'1985' by Bowling For Soup
'Boulevard of Broken Dreams' by Greenday
'In the Shadow' by The Rasmus

I couldn't find any songs that I had that were a lot like 'All the Small Things', but I chose a range of different songs that might be of some help.

Out of all those in terms of sound '1985' By Bowling For Soup was close but the lyrics won't match will with the video I want to make but it seems like you guys are getting closer to the song I need.

Basicly I want the video to be about Marty's adventures with time travel and him making some changes so he could have a better life in the future for example instead of hitting the Rolls-Royce he wouldn't have broken his hand and would have had a music career.

The song doesn't have to be that similar to 'Small Things' just a cool light hearted rock song in general.

I know this topic is two months old and mastag only posted 3 times, but meh, whatever. I just went through my iTunes list and picked out the best song I could find that fits the theme: "Tonight, Tonight" by Smashing Pumpkins. I think the lyrics fit and the song is a breezy rock song.

Anyway, that's my contribution to this topic, should mastag read it.
