Matt Damon’s temporary but unforgettable cameo in EuroTrip gained legendary status for something way beyond the laughs. A lady within the U.S. reportedly woke from a coma after hearing Scotty Doesn’t Know, the now-iconic song he performed within the film. The tune, which plays during Matt Damon’s wild onstage performance within the 2004 comedy, is one unforgettable performance that become an unlikely lifeline.
Scotty Doesn’t Know Ringtone Sparks Woman’s Recovery After Brutal Automotive Crash
The accident happened somewhere within the Midwest, possibly in Indiana. A young woman was seriously injured in a T-bone crash. Paramedics showed up fast, pulled her out of the automotive, and onto a stretcher very quickly. That’s when it happened. As she was slipping right into a coma, her phone rang. The ringtone was Matt Damon‘s song Scotty Doesn’t Know. And in that hazy, in-between state, she began singing along to it. That random moment became the spark that jolted her toward recovery.
Nick Cloutman from Lustra, the band behind the song, recalled the surreal story in an interview (via Uproxx): “This girl was dragged out the automotive by paramedics and was placed on a stretcher and ultimately went right into a coma. As she was slipping into this coma, her phone began ringing, and he or she had the Scotty Doesn’t Know ringtone. In her dazed state she began singing along to it.”
Cloutman admitted the story caught him off guard, saying: “It’s one among those things where you don’t consider you’re going to be attached to something that has this positive meaning for people.”

It’s hard to assume that a ringtone—especially one from a raunchy teen comedy—could pull someone back from the sting. However the facts delay. A song, a memory, and a touch of muscle memory combined at the proper time. The young woman began humming along, signaling signs of awareness that ultimately helped guide doctors through her care.
Matt Damon had no idea he was doing something heroic. He wasn’t even credited for that role. But the facility of his short scene rippled far beyond any screen. As Cloutman reflected, “You don’t consider you’re going to be attached to something that has this positive meaning for people.”
Who would’ve guessed? A university party song finally ends up playing doctor. And yet, this moment serves as a poignant reminder that the weirdest parts of popular culture can hit the toughest when it really counts.
