When Deanna was released from the hospital, she is in the back of the car listening to the radio.
At one point her dad changes radiostations.
Now here's the question: right before going back to Our lips are sealed there's a 5 second snippet of a song. Is that song I don't like Mondays? And if so, is it synchronicity, serendipity or was it done on purpose? The song topic of I don't like Mondys is about a school shooting (for the 2 people out there not in the know).
I never noticed that, but you're right! They definitely put that in there on purpose. Also there's the part in the song that goes, "And he can see no reasons Cos there are no reasons What reason do you need to die", and that's just like the part in the end where they're trying to find a reason why it happened.

never says"die" go read the lyrics.
spectre can
suck it.
I beg to differ. However, this song was way before its time, shockingly.
I Don't Like Mondays maydot
The Boomtown Rats
The silicon chip inside her head
Gets switched to overload
And nobody's gonna go to school today
She's going to make them stay at home
And daddy doesn't understand it
He always said she was as good as gold
And he can see no reason
Cos there are no reasons
What reason do you need to be shown
Tell me why
I don't like Mondays
I want to shoot
The whole day down
The telex machine is kept so clean
As it types to a waiting world
And mother feels so shocked
Father's world is rocked
And their thoughts turn to
Their own little girl
Sweet 16 ain't that peachy keen
No, it ain't so neat to admit defeat
They can see no reasons
Cos there are no reasons
What reason do you need to be shown
Tell me why
I don't like Mondays
I want to shoot
The whole day down
All the playings stopped in the playground now
She wants to play with her toys a while
And school's out early and soon we'll be learning
And the lesson today is how to die
And then the bullhorn crackles
And the captain crackles
With the problems and the how's and why's
And he can see no reasons
Cos there are no reasons
What reason do you need to die
The silicon chip ...
Tell me why
I don't like Mondays
I want to shoot
The whole day down
I Don't Like Mondays was written in response to a real life school shooting at Cleveland Elementary School in San Diego, California on January 29, 1979 when 16-year-old Brenda Ann Spencer fired at children playing in that school playground which was across the street from her home. Principal Burton Wragg and head custodian Mike Suchar were killed in the attack, while eight children and a police officer sustained wounds. When asked why, Spencer simply said, "I don't like Mondays..."

Oh wow it is. Good catch. Most likely intentionally put in due to the song's subject.
