As the camera pans to show Emma destroying the toaster, we see what is playing Sonic Youth’s “Kool Thing,” and it is a iPod Touch (possibly an iPhone?) in a iHome type speaker base:
So, this does challenge my theory that Storybrooke was frozen 28 years back from 2011, or it may introduce the idea that the more the breaking of the curse goes forward that items from 2011 will begin to appear in Storybrooke. What do you think?
Updated: So, the awesome @fyes_ouat reminded me that Emma brought it into Storybrooke. Mary Margaret doesn’t seemed to be too shocked by it. I wonder what else Emma “smuggled” into Storybrooke?
In the episode, “Desperate Souls,” after Emma was fired by Regina, she was “fixing” the toaster with the butter knife and Mary Margaret Blanchard walked in:
The song that was playing was “Kool Thing” by Sonic Youth:
Here are the lyrics (Thanks to David B. for sending them):
Kool Thing by Sonic Youth
Kool Thing sittin’ with a kiddie
Now you know you’re sure lookin’ pretty
Like a lover not a dancer
Superboy take a little chance here
I don’t wanna, I don’t think so
I don’t wanna, I don’t think so
Kool Thing let me play it with your radio
Move me, turn me on, baby-o
I’ll be your slave
Give you a shave
I don’t wanna, I don’t think so
I don’t wanna, I don’t think so
[Chuck D]
Yeah, tell’em about it,
Hit’em where it hurts
Hey, Kool Thing, come here, sit down beside me.
There’s something I go to ask you.
I just wanna know, what are you gonna do for me?
I mean, are you gonna liberate us girls
From male white corporate oppression?
Tell it like it is!
Huh?
Yeah!
Don’t be shy
Word up!
Fear of a female planet?
Fear of a female planet?
Fear, baby!
I just want to know that we can still be friends
Come on, come on, come on, come on let everybody know
Kool thing, kool thing
When you’re a star, I know you’ll fix everything
Now you know you’re sure lookin’ pretty
Rock the beat just a little faster
Now I know you are the master
I don’t wanna, I don’t think so
I don’t wanna, I don’t think so
Kool thing walkin’ like a panther
Come on and give me an answer
Kool thing walkin’ like a panther
What’d he say?
I don’t wanna, I don’t think so
I don’t wanna, I don’t think so
