You know, the opening lyrics to that song are insane:

Baby when i met you, there was peace on earth
I set out to get you with a fine tooth comb
I was soft inside, there was something going on

A FINE TOOTH COMB?

"You were like the lice in my hair, dearest."

Huh. I never really paid much attention. Also the first line is poorly phrased, it implies the peace on earth existed prior to the hook up.

Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Thursday, 25 May 2006 15:08 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah, I was baffled by that as well. But if they're happy.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 25 May 2006 15:13 (eighteen years ago) link

Yeah, whatever, good on 'em.

Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Thursday, 25 May 2006 15:13 (eighteen years ago) link

Anyway, TIM CURRY. That opening little speech he gives, jeezum.

David Hasselhoff sobbing on American Idol may be the most awesome thing I've seen on television in quite a while.

Anything can happen on Halloween
It's better than a video
Gremlins gonna mess up every cassette
From London to Idaho

HAS ANYBO-DY SEEN MY TAM-BO-REEN?

El Tomboto, Tuesday, 15 July 2008 21:48 (fifteen years ago) link

OMG I love that the gremlin-threatened mirror-Curry videotape is a betamax.

A dentist could turn into a queen.

Tim Curry's finest 3 seconds:

Slumpman, Tuesday, 15 July 2008 22:06 (fifteen years ago) link

ugh why did I look up Naked Boys Singing

HI DERE, Tuesday, 15 July 2008 22:43 (fifteen years ago) link

Wait... none of you have seen this film? I thought it was a staple 80s children's classic and everyone's all WTF about it all... Very strange. My little sister has seen it probably a squillion times. Harry Potter totally ripped off a whole load of this wholesale.

one year passes...

Because Halloween is coming sooner than you think.

Before I can even prepare for it, my toad will turn into a bass guitar?

This arrived today btw

Gandalf’s Gobble Melt (DJP), Sunday, 28 October 2012 03:04 (eleven years ago) link

DJP, I can testify it is totally worth owning. I wish I'd brought my copy on this business trip - it would be the perfect thing to watch most evenings, the ideal mix of terrible and absurd and fabulous.
