I love this. This is in Jackass: Best and Last. It's the last song of the movie, in the credits, and I just wanted to cut a credits bed to this song. That's all I did for months before, was drive around and cut, edit that in my head. And then we had to take it to Mick and Keith to see if they would allow us- Uh-huh ... to use the song. And I don't think Mick Jagger was familiar with Jackass, but we presented it to them. They watched it and said, "Yes," and thank you. To me, it was the only song to end Jackass on. Oh, boy. Here we have Corona by the Minutemen, which is our theme song. When we made the show, uh, we needed a song for our opening credits and I took this to Spike and Jeff, and it was a easy one to present- Yeah ... because they love the Minutemen.
