political and philosophical lyrical topics were cast aside if favor of light-hearted fare, with Dr. Frank declaring: "I think deep meaning and content doesn't belong in rock'n'roll music. It just confuses things and the things that I think about, a lot of people think are very stupid, maybe.... [I]f I write a song it's going to be about the Brady Bunch or Velveeta rather than something pretentious. I think it's pretty silly when bands get big heads and big egos." Music in film Some of the band's music was used in the 1996 movie Glory Daze starring Ben Affleck. The film is set in Santa Cruz, California and features music by many mid-1990s southern California punk rock bands. The Mr. T Experience songs "I Just Wanna Do it With You" and "Even Hitler Had a Girlfriend" are used in the film and appear on its accompanying soundtrack album. Also, during the film's party scene, the main characters as a band perform a cover of The Mr. T Experience song "Now We Are Twenty-One". The band's song "She's Coming (Over Tonight)" is also included in the 1998 Walt Disney Television movie My Date with the President's Daughter during the record store scene towards the beginning of the film.
