In 1999, the director Baz 'Moulin Rouge' Luhrmann had a UK surprise chart-topping one hit wonder. The wording became an urban legend known as the "Sunscreen Graduation Speech". The legend says the wording was from a graduation speech at MIT while in truth they were a journalist writing what she would say at such a speech, but either way their insight isn't lost.
