Metropolis on Tubi - what's with the score?
I have never seen Metropolis, so I was excited to see it on Tubi. I'm 30 minutes in and I can't take the music. The film's score consists of a three-piece (piano, bass, drums) jazz band playing a one-minute riff that is repeated over and over.
Why in the hell is this music attached to this film? I know damn well that was not the original accompanying music. Who decided to screw up this classic movie? Why???

The license for the soundtrack Twisted Sister wrote expired.
I saw a commercial on late night TV. It said, "Forget everything you know about slipcovers." So I did. And it was a load off my mind. Then the commercial tried to sell me slipcovers, and I didn't know what the hell they were. -- Mitch Hedberg

Oof, that 5 minute looping track McNutt mentions is NOT not how I wanna experience the film. I did some checking and my best guess is that because the film entered public domain in January of 2023, Tubi just has a shitty version that doesn’t use any licensed music.
P.S. Is this better?

I'm partial to this version:
In 1984, Giorgio Moroder restored and produced the 80-minute 1984 re-release, which had a pop soundtrack written by Moroder and performed by Moroder, Pat Benatar, Bonnie Tyler, Jon Anderson, Adam Ant, Cycle V, Loverboy, Billy Squier, and Freddie Mercury.

I stumbled into this clip a while back, and it was stuck in my brain for a while.

I’ve seen that before as well. To me, it drives home my belief that erotic dancing back in those days consisted of trying to be as scary as possible on stage.
