50 Cent currently produces a TV show called The Oath, which stars singer Christina Milian, who is also in American Pie as a member of the choir. 50 Cent’s In Da Club, which came out in 2003, opens with a similar phrasing, which Luke’s manager attempted to sue 50 Cent for. Luke’s song is a celebration of birthdays, grouping people both by month and zodiac sign in a bid to wish everyone a happy birthday, but in doing so, missing out on a lot – he only names four months and nine star signs. With “Go Trig-boy, it’s your birthday,” Hoppus is reinterpreting a song by Luther “Luke” Campbell of 2 Live Crew, It’s Your Birthday, from 1994.

Hoppus is 27 here and DeLonge and Barker are 23. Crystal has appeared in George Of The Jungle, both Eddie Murphy Dr Doolittle films, The Hangover Part II and the entire Night At The Museum franchise. The monkey is portrayed by animal actor Crystal The Monkey, who probably has the most impressive IMDb page of anyone in American Pie, apart from maybe Eugene Levy and Jennifer Coolidge. Spink also shows up in the sequel, and later appeared in The Butterfly Effect and The Incredible Burt Wonderstone. The other guy with them is played by actor Danny Spink. (The credit right above the band in the end credits is for the character ‘Computer Nerd’, played by an actor named Travis Cody Aimer, which adds another element to the Travis/Scott confusion above.) Raynor had recently been fired and replaced by Barker, and someone at Universal Pictures didn’t get the memo. Awkwardly, in the closing credits of the movie, the wrong drummer is named – it says the garage band is Hoppus, DeLonge and Scott Raynor. New to the band and decidedly quieter than the other two, with the exception of an in-unison “holy shit”, Barker doesn’t really do much in the film. The band at this point consist of DeLonge, Hoppus and new recruit Travis Barker.
