I absolutely loved Teen Witch! Reading an interview with Larry Weir who scored the film and he gave some amusing info on the movie.
“However, the people who were financing the film were from the Middle East and saw the first cut of the movie and thought we needed more rap music and wanted to sex it up a bit.
I guess that explains the creepy “love scene.”
Yeah, it’s totally out of place and out of character. I guess they thought that sex and rap music were the hip American thing to do and would make the movie appeal to a wider audience. Our producer Alana Lambros hated the idea and actually left the production. It was wacky, but we had to go on.
Anyway, the writers added those “steamier” scenes and I wrote “Top That” and some of the other rap that is in the movie and had to get it approved by the “money.” So, here I am, this white dude with a ghetto blaster and I have to impress a conference room full of Middle Eastern men with my rapping skills. When I was finished there was dead silence and all of the guys in the room looked at the main financier and he says “I like it,” and everyone else begins to gush over how great it is.”
“Top That” was not originally part of Teen Witch. My mind is officially blown.
