"Drinking in L.A." is a song by Canadian electronica collective Bran Van 3000, released as the band's first single; in the U.S. "Drinking in L.A." failed to generate interest from Alternative stations, yet in the UK and Canada it continues to generate airplay. Some vocals were done by Stéphane Moraille. () The song was covered specially for BBC Radio 1 by English indie rock Band The Twang in 2007, and featured on the album ''Radio 1 Established 1967''. The song is also featured on the MuchMusic compilation album, ''Big Shiny Tunes 2''. It was also featured in television commercials for Rolling Rock beer in the United Kingdom, which contributed to chart success in that region, peaking at number 3 (having only reached number 34 a year earlier when originally released). The song is also the title song for the film ''Playing by Heart''.〔(Playing by Heart soundtrack — IMDB.com )〕 In the music video for "Drinking in LA" a copy of a Toronto album is clearly visible in several shots. ==Content== On VH1's ''100 Greatest One Hit Wonders'', James Di Salvio was quoted saying: "It's about me being in LA trying to make a movie and getting really bored with it and going out clubbing and DJ-ing, eventually taking the jump into making the record. It's kind of like falling out of love with one medium into the next. When you impose things in your life you have to do things because of your ego, you have to accomplish so much at a certain age and you want to do something else and you have to take the plunge and do it." ==Music video== The music video was directed by Adam Courneya and premiered in April 1998. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Drinking in L.A.」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
