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. The lyrics were actually taken from a column published in The Chicago Tribune in 1997. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/Baz+Luhrmann"

Article
Bazmark Anthony Luhrmann (born Mark Anthony Luhrmann; 17 September 1962) is an Australian film director, producer, writer and actor whose various projects extend from film and television into opera, theatre, music and the recording industries. He is regarded by some as a contemporary example of an auteur for his style and deep involvement in the writing, directing, design and musical components of all his work. In Australia, he is the most commercially successful native director, and four of his films are in the top ten highest worldwide grossing Australian films ever.
On the screen, he is best known for his Red Curtain Trilogy, comprising the romantic comedy film Strictly Ballroom (1992) and the romantic tragedies William Shakespeare's Romeo + Juliet (1996) and Moulin Rouge! (2001). Following the trilogy, projects included Australia (2008), The Great Gatsby (2013), Elvis (2022) and the television period drama The Get Down (2016) for Netflix. Additional projects include stage productions of Giacomo Puccini's La bohème for both Opera Australia and Broadway, and Strictly Ballroom the Musical (2014). In September 2025 his first documentary, EPiC: Elvis Presley in Concert premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival.
