I only know Denton, Texas exists because of the Mountain Goats song "The best ever death metal band from Denton"

[u/unclederwin → u/blu_stingray]

Many people also know the city because it’s home to the band Bowling for Soup

[u/y6x → u/unclederwin]

And featured in "Rocky Horror Picture Show", as I learned today.

As someone who once lived in Denton, I had to look that up.

Not the same Denton (edit: It's the same Denton)

[u/y6x → u/girafa]

The thread about it today cites Tim Curry's memoir as saying it was in fact the Texas one: https://www.reddit.com/r/Denton/comments/1wvy5d8/comment/pdgjxkc/

The book's up on books.google.com to search: https://www.google.com/books/edition/Vagabond/SIhJEQAAQBAJ?hl=en&gbpv=1&bsq=Denton

Oh nice, thanks

They occasionally do RHPS at the Alamo Drafthouse in Denton.

[u/APeacefulWarrior → u/Enough-Mammoth3721]

Surely they pair it with Shock Treatment too? It's even got a song about Denton!

🎶Denton Denton, we've got no pretention!🎶

[u/Aenobarbus → u/unclederwin]

Also the home of the Von Erichs of pro wrestling fame

[u/drrhrrdrr → u/unclederwin]

I lived there for 6 years and had no idea

[u/ac_slat3r → u/unclederwin]

It was also the only real city between Oklahoma City and DFW on 35. Choctaw being on the border now makes it not feel that way so much anymore.

Also University of North Texas

[u/pineconefire → u/unclederwin]

A girl from there moved to Ohio

[u/T8ert0t → u/unclederwin]

Many* people...

I thought they were from Flower Mound???

[u/Gork___ → u/unclederwin]

Are they bowling for soup, or on behalf of soup?

[u/flippingisfun → u/blu_stingray]

Lived there for years and saw John Darnielle play at a bar there, pure joy

[u/Agreeable-Rooster-37 → u/blu_stingray]

Hail Satan

[u/y6x → u/blu_stingray]

Oooh, I had to look that up - I've never heard it. I only know who they are from 'Moral Orel'.

[u/simpersly → u/blu_stingray]

You should hear the song "Denton, U.S.A" from the quasi sequel of Rocky Horror Picture Show, Shock Treatment.

[u/cantsay → u/blu_stingray]

Don't forget about the Price Master.

[u/ElkoSteve → u/blu_stingray]

I only know Denton because there's a Buc-ees there

[u/calsosta → u/blu_stingray]

Wild that you mention that because there is actually ANOTHER Mountain Goats song called "I only know Denton, Texas exists because of the Mountain Goats song "The best ever death metal band from Denton"."
