To get you even more excited about the return of the No Pads tour (starting again in August), SimplePlan.cz prepared an exclusive series of “No Pads special”<\/b> articles, giving you little possibly never-seen-or-heard-before interesting flashbacks to the No Pads era.<\/p>\n

\"\"It is said that no other era in the film industry has probably produced more teen-oriented movies – usually comedies or romantic comedies – as the 2000s<\/b>. And not only did these movies help many young actors such as Lindsay Lohan or the Olsen twins into stardom – they were also pretty good at popularizing new bands through their soundtracks<\/b>, especially from the pop-punk scene. Looking back – it was actually pretty hard to find a teen movie without one of your favorite bands on it. And that was all the more reason to watch it, right?<\/p>\n

With Simple Plan’s first album’s themes revolving around the struggles of teenagehood, parents’ disapproval, heartbreaks<\/b> and other similar adolescent topics that everyone can identify with once they hit the “teen” mark; it is no wonder that film executives felt these songs were absolutely perfect for teen movies, which dealt with the same kind of troubles. It is therefore not very surprising that songs from No Pads, No Helmets… Just Balls<\/i> are still to this day Simple Plan’s most prominently featured songs on TV & film soundtracks<\/b> – appearing in at least 14 films or TV series’ episodes. No other of their follow-up albums has received such recognition in broadcast media as their debut album.<\/p>\n

While you can certainly look at the whole list of soundtracks Simple Plan have ever been featured on in this section<\/a> on SimplePlan.cz, today we’re gonna look specifically into the No Pads songs in this article.<\/p>\n

Scooby-Doo, Scooby-Doo… so much Scooby-Doo<\/div>\n

\"\"Out of all the movies and TV shows that Simple Plan’s music has been featured on, not one stands out more prominently than the Scooby-Doo franchise. Most of us will of course remember the self-titled theme song for the animated TV series ‘What’s New Scooby-Doo?’<\/i><\/b> (2002) which is still one of the most well-known Simple Plan songs, yet many people still only now keep finding out it is them who were behind it. And it wasn’t just the theme song that ‘What’s New Scooby-Doo?’ featured – in various episodes, fans would be able to find songs such as ‘The Worst Day Ever’, ‘I’d Do Anything’<\/i> and ‘You Don’t Mean Anything’<\/i>. Two of those were featured in an episode called ‘Simple Plan and the Invisible Madman’, which also includes all of Simple Plan as animated characters, involved in the plot of the story. \"\"Simple Plan’s songs were not only featured heavily in the Scooby-Doo TV series, but in the live-action movies as well. ‘Grow Up’<\/i> was present in the soundtrack to ‘Scooby Doo’<\/b> (2002) and its sequel ‘Scooby-Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed’<\/b> (2004) featured ‘Don’t Wanna Think About You’<\/i>. The second movie’s premiere was also a part of the storyline of the music video<\/a> for this song. <\/p>\n
