Episode appearance: Teaser at the end of Season 6, Episode 12: Everybody Loves Hugo You might have missed this, but the promo for Episode 13: The Recruit uses "The Rowing Song" from the 1971 movie version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory entitled Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory. The story resonates with Lost—a man on a quest to find an heir leads a group of golden ticket–winning candidates on a mystical, confusing and amazing journey. In the movie, the song plays when the candidates take a horrifying ride on Willy Wonka's boat. By the end of the trip, most of the candidates are undone by their own character flaws, yet Charlie Bucket wins the contest (though he did not know it was a contest at all) because he's good at heart and honest. Here are the lyrics from "The Rowing Song": Round the world and home again That's the sailor's way Faster faster, faster, faster There's no earthly way of knowing Which direction we are going There's no knowing where we're rowing Or which way the river's flowing Is it raining, is it snowing Is a hurricane a-blowing Not a speck of light is showing So the danger must be growing Are the fires of Hell a-glowing Is the grisly reaper mowing Yes, the danger must be growing For the rowers keep on rowing And they're certainly not showing Any signs that they are slowing What do you think of this bookshelf so far? Leave your thoughts below! Keep Reading |
