2. The Time, Jay And Silent Bob Strike Back (2001)
Jay and Silent Bob aren’t savvy about much, but they do know when a musician deserves massive respect for his craft. That’s one reason the pair are huge fans of Minneapolis smooth operator Morris Day and his band The Time—and leap to his defense when he (and, more specifically, his classic single “Jungle Love”) are disrespected by some snot-nosed kids. In true Jay form, passion trumps eloquence as he makes his argument: “You don’t know ‘Jungle Love?’ That shit is the mad notes. Written by God Herself and handed down to the greatest band in the world—the motherfucking Time.” For good measure, Jay throws one of the hooligans against a building when he continues dissing the band, and repeats his main point: “Don’t you never say an unkind word about The Time!”
