Answer: A Whiff of Colin

It sounds whiffy to me. At the beginning of the movie two producers are selling a show about has-beens (titled 'Battle of the 80s' Has-Beens') to Alex, hoping to get him to appear. The trailer starts with a blurb about the band. 'PoP was one of the biggest bands of the '80s, but today they're known as Colin Thompson's old group. Colin, or as he's been dubbed by the Queen, "Sir Colin", has gone on to sell millions of records, star in blockbuster films and create his own cologne, "A Whiff of Colin". But here's a question: Can you remember the name of the other guy in PoP?' They are of course, talking about Alex Fletcher.

Answer: Plant Girl

Alex Fletcher composed catchy melodies for the group PoP!, but he relied on his ex-partner, Colin Thompson, for lyrics. After Fletcher reluctantly agreed to write a song for Cora, Fletcher's manager, Chris Riley, hired a "hip and edgy" lyricist named Greg Antonsky to assist Fletcher. Alex and Greg didn't get along at all; however, Sophie Fisher (Drew Barrymore), a young woman who was tending to Fletcher's house plants, began spouting some interesting lyrics which intrigued Alex. In disgust, Greg called Sophie "Plant Lady" and subsequently stormed out of Fletcher's apartment. Alex begged Sophie to become his lyricist, but Sophie declined Fletcher's offer.
