If you've not heard this song...you really, really need to.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 22 June 2005 19:02 (eighteen years ago) link

It is seriously the best song.

all I remember is "anything can happen on halloween, your cat could turn into a bat' - or something like that.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Tuesday, 27 September 2005 22:17 (eighteen years ago) link

Halloween soon! There should be a screening.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 27 September 2005 22:26 (eighteen years ago) link

― s1ocki (slutsky), Tuesday, 27 September 2005 22:39 (eighteen years ago) link

Halloween soon! There should be a screening.

this must be the answer -- the other movie discussed was "KISS meets the phantom of the park"

I was looking for the lyrics to the elusive Halloween song but instead found this and well it speaks for itself.

[spoken] It's great to be here, with you young witches, on this fabulous night! Remember Gills, show the world, let them know it's Halloween. Hit it!
[singing]
I wouldn't change places
With anyone tonight
We'll carve pumpkin faces
And watch the witches flight
Every human heart will shudder
Every soul will shake with fear
Tonight, the creepiest
Tonight, the scariest
Tonight, the most wonderful night
ahhhhhhhhf the year
Anything can happen on Halloween
Your dog could turn into a cat
There may be a toad in your bass guitar
Or your sister could turn into a bat
Christmas time brings the snow
Summer time brings the sun
But on Halloween your blood begins to run
Something's funky going down now
Anything can happen on Halloween
It's better than a video
Gremlins gonna mess up every cassette
From London to Idaho
April first can be fun
New Year's Eve is a bore
But on Halloween your flesh begins to crawl
Oh, I'm losing control
Anything can happen on Halloween
Your toenails grow long and your hair turns green
Your teacher could become a sardine
Your dentist could turn into a queen.
Has anybody seen my tambourine
I may start playing
Begin the begin
The craziest night you've ever seen
This hairy, scary, creepy, crawly,
Halloween.

the zucchini song?!?

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Tuesday, 27 September 2005 23:33 (eighteen years ago) link

THE ZUCCHINI SONG
Now down the road there lives a man I'd like you all to know,
He grew a big zucchini for the local flower show
And when the story got around they came from far and wide,
And when then saw what he had grown, everybody cried.....

Ooooh! What a beauty, I've never seen one as big as that before,
Oh Oh! What a beauty, it must be two foot long or even more.
And it's such a lovely color, so big, and round, and fat,
I've never seen a zucchini grow quite as big as that,
Oh Oh! What a beauty, I've never seen one as big as that before.

He was leaning on the garden gate the other day,
And beckoned to a lady who lives just across the way,
He took her down the garden path and showed it to her with pride,
And when she saw the size of it, the little lady sighed..

Third verse, worse than the first!
And then the flower show was held and everybody went,
To see this huge zucchini, lying there inside the tent.
Soon the judges came along to give the prizes out,
And they only took one look at it and they began to shout,
Now what did they shout???"

OOOOOH! What a beauty, I've never seen one as big as that before,
Oh Oh! What a beauty, it must be two foot long or even more.
And it's such a lovely color, so big, and round, and fat,
I've never seen a zucchini grow quite as big as that,
Oh Oh! What a beauty, I've never seen one as big as that before.

Pervert.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 00:15 (eighteen years ago) link

I like the Brontosaurus song.

― Allyzay knows a little German (allyzay), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 00:22 (eighteen years ago) link

This just went to the top of my Netflix queue. How can it be I've never seen this movie? And how can the classic Cobra Woman not be available on DVD?

― Jaq (Jaq), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 00:26 (eighteen years ago) link

from London to Idaho?

― tokyo nursery school: afternoon session (rosemary), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 00:52 (eighteen years ago) link

They remade Worst Witch for tv recently, and I just thought, there's no Tim Curry in it, so what is the point?

― tokyo nursery school: afternoon session (rosemary), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 00:55 (eighteen years ago) link

Your dentist could turn into a queen.
Has anybody seen my tambourine

I can't stop thinking about how this is possibly the best two-line rhyming punch in any song EVER. Also TR is OTM

― Allyzay knows a little German (allyzay), Wednesday, 28 September 2005 15:43 (eighteen years ago) link

You're a better person than any of us.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 24 October 2005 23:31 (eighteen years ago) link

Netflix is breaking my heart! This says available "now" - why don't they send it?! I've gotten 3 movies from underneath it, and still it sits, available "now" at the top of my queue.

Bubba Ho-Tep is so not gonna be an acceptable substitute.

― Jaq (Jaq), Tuesday, 25 October 2005 00:50 (eighteen years ago) link

seven months pass...

I was thinking about this the other day and figured it would be available. And I was so right.

Thank you, YouTube.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 25 May 2006 11:01 (seventeen years ago) link

And now that I'm finally seeing it all for the first time instead of just hearing it, oh my lord.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 25 May 2006 11:12 (seventeen years ago) link

Hahaha! Thanks Ned!

― Jaq (Jaq), Thursday, 25 May 2006 11:43 (seventeen years ago) link

Yer welcome! Now everyday IS Halloween!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 25 May 2006 11:50 (seventeen years ago) link

OMG someone was masturbating all over Video Toaster when this was made.

― Dan (Wow) Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 25 May 2006 13:54 (seventeen years ago) link

amazing

― cutty (mcutt), Thursday, 25 May 2006 14:12 (seventeen years ago) link

That is the best. THE. BEST. You should really see it in the context of the whole film though, because truly that shit just comes outta left field.

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Thursday, 25 May 2006 14:13 (seventeen years ago) link

All the little girls and the witchy teachers salivating over the photo of Curry as the Grand Wizard! OMG! What a fucked up movie :)

― Jaq (Jaq), Thursday, 25 May 2006 14:17 (seventeen years ago) link

it's all about the bat tie

― mookieproof (mookieproof), Thursday, 25 May 2006 14:20 (seventeen years ago) link

I really enjoy the idea that girls just go completely Justin Timberlake-style nuts over Tim Curry, if they're witches.

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Thursday, 25 May 2006 14:38 (seventeen years ago) link

That fits in with every Rocky Horror performance I've ever attended.

― Dan (Leather: Not For Everyone) Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 25 May 2006 14:40 (seventeen years ago) link

You've actually done that? Multiple times?

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Thursday, 25 May 2006 14:43 (seventeen years ago) link

LOOK I WAS 18 AND AWAY FROM HOME, ALL RIGHT?????

― Dan (Don't You Judge Me) Perry (Dan Perry), Thursday, 25 May 2006 14:44 (seventeen years ago) link

Well one time I got dragged to something called "Naked Boys Singing," which lived up to its title, if it's any consolation.

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Thursday, 25 May 2006 14:45 (seventeen years ago) link

Dan, you poor soul. (I only went to three total and in drag once.)

Ally -- uh. Well, truth in advertising, then.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 25 May 2006 14:45 (seventeen years ago) link

Ned, I sobbed like David Hasslehoff when I realized what we were going to see. Painful. Truly painful.

So speaking of the Hoff, ts Tim Curry versus David's finest hour? I know everyone's seen that but it never stops being funny and it struck me they're very similar, except one is Halloween themed (? I think?) and the other isn't.

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Thursday, 25 May 2006 14:54 (seventeen years ago) link

Man, that IS a tough call. What should they duet on?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 25 May 2006 14:56 (seventeen years ago) link

Islands in the Stream

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Thursday, 25 May 2006 14:59 (seventeen years ago) link

Only if bad video effects show them IN A STREAM

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 25 May 2006 15:00 (seventeen years ago) link

With a herd of unicorns.

― Allyzay Rofflesbot (allyzay), Thursday, 25 May 2006 15:01 (seventeen years ago) link

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."

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 25 May 2006 15:03 (seventeen years ago) link

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 (seventeen 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 (seventeen years ago) link

Yeah, whatever, good on 'em.

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

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

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Thursday, 25 May 2006 15:14 (seventeen years ago) link

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

― Bluebell Madonna (Ex Leon), Thursday, 25 May 2006 15:19 (seventeen years ago) link

Haha... Charlotte Rae's number is up there too.

― Eric H. (Eric H.), Thursday, 25 May 2006 16:21 (seventeen years ago) link

Today's the day!
