A woman in a relationship is shown convincing her partner not to use a condom. Afterwards, he looks in the mirror and sees that he has an early symptom of AIDS visible on his face, in the form of Kaposi's sarcoma. He then sees a small photo frame on the dresser, showing all the people she has had sex with previously… The couple both fade away, as they both die from AIDS.

Maybe it's just that I've heard Weird Al's (lame) parody way more than the actual song, but that is the most Weird Al-looking video for a non-Weird Al song I've ever seen. The mugging, the edits, the jury reaction shots, everything.
Seriously crushing on Ally Sheedy now though <3

"The script was presented to NBC for production as a television miniseries, but NBC executives rejected the initial version, claiming it was too cerebral for the average American viewer. To make the script more marketable, the American fascists were re-cast as man-eating extraterrestrials, taking the story into the realm of science fiction."

Fatty Fudge as his name suggests is a fat child. He is also sometimes called upon to assist Minnie in a particularly elaborate plot since his services can always be bought with a bag of sweets. He was briefly the subject of a spin-off strip in the early 1990s that parodied famous films, usually in ways involving the character's love of food (examples including 'You Only Eat Rice' and '20,000 Leeks Under The Sea').

Using the name Katie as an example, the song follows this pattern:Katie, Katie, bo-batie,Banana-fana fo-fatieFee-fi-mo-matieKatie!A verse can be created for any name, with X as the name and Y as the name without the first consonant sound (if it begins with a consonant), as follows:(X), (X), bo-b (Y)Banana-fana fo-f (Y)Fee-fi-mo--m (Y)(X)!If the name starts with a vowel or vowel sound, the "b" "f" or "m" is inserted in front of the name.And if the name starts with a b, f, or m, that sound simply is not repeated. (For example: Billy becomes "Billy Billy bo-illy"; Fred becomes "banana fana fo-red"; Marsha becomes "fee fi mo-arsha".)Playing the game with certain names such as Danny, Alice, Tucker, Bart, Mitch, Maggie, Judy or Ruby can result in risque, impolite or vulgar words being unintentionally sung out loud, such as Fanny, Phallus, Fucker, Fart, and so on.

Wall was first proclaimed "King of the Dudes" at the resort town of Long Branch, New Jersey in the summer of 1883.[9]Wall was again proclaimed "King of the Dudes" in 1888 by the New York American newspaper. A journalist named Blakely Hall judged that Wall had won the "Battle of the Dudes" against Robert "Bob" Hilliard, another sartorial dude when, during the March Blizzard of 1888, he strode into a bar clad in gleaming boots of patent leather that went to his hips.[5] Nevertheless, some historians still consider it was Hilliard who won that dude battle.[10]Wall won another fashion contest in August 1888,[7] in Saratoga Springs, New York. To win a bet against John "Bet a Million" Gates, Wall changed clothes 40 times between breakfast and dinner.[11] He appeared on the race track "in one flashy ensemble after the other until, exhausted but victorious he at last entered the ballroom of the United States Hotel in faultless evening attire."[5]

Misconceptions about lemmings go back many centuries. In the 1530s, the geographer Zeigler of Strasbourg proposed the theory that the creatures fell out of the sky during stormy weather (also featured in the folklore of the Inupiat/Yupik at Norton Sound), and then died suddenly when the grass grew in spring.[5] This description was contradicted by the natural historian Ole Worm, who accepted that lemmings could fall out of the sky, but claimed they had been brought over by the wind rather than created by spontaneous generation.
