Okay, so. *loads up webpage and song, thanks to Ally*

?!?!? A strung out Bowie fronting a lounge band? I'm terrified!

"From London to Idaho," indeed.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 15:37 (twenty-one years ago)

I seriously didn't expect the song to sound like it was shot full of downers.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 1 September 2004 15:38 (twenty-one years ago)

That's what makes it Halloweeny.

I thought T.C. as Mick Jagger on Saturday Night Live was pretty classic.

nine months pass...

I used to have this on video, just finding this thread has cracked me up. I think I knew all the lyrics at one point...classic

ILE -- we help you relive your past.

I thought this was going to be about his recreation of the beloved Mr. French on the remake of Family Affair. Sebastian Cabot, move over!

my sister and i used to watch this movie

Everyone's got a material possession they're really proud of. For some, it's their new sportscar. Others, their prized hockey trophies. For the Grand Wizard, it's his cardboard sun. Curry obviously believe that this is shocking, since he hides the thing behind his back for a minute, taunting us as if we should be completely amazed that he's somehow found the elusive paper sun.

this part of the website made me roffle

I still have the song in my gmail!

― TOMBOT, Wednesday, 22 June 2005 18:15 (twenty years ago)

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

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

It is seriously the best song.

― Allyzay knows a little German (allyzay), Wednesday, 22 June 2005 19:20 (twenty years ago)

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

― Homosexual II (Homosexual II), Wednesday, 22 June 2005 19:21 (twenty years ago)

three months pass...

this movie came up at work today ...

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

Halloween soon! There should be a screening.

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

don't you mean a... SCREAMING?

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

Halloween soon! There should be a screening.

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

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Tuesday, 27 September 2005 22:42 (twenty years ago)

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 (twenty years ago)

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 (twenty years ago)

I like the Brontosaurus song.

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

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 (twenty years ago)

from London to Idaho?

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

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 (twenty years ago)

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 (twenty years ago)

three weeks pass...

TAMBOURINE TIME

― carly (carly), Monday, 24 October 2005 23:26 (twenty years ago)

You're a better person than any of us.

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

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 (twenty years ago)

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 (twenty years ago)

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 (twenty years ago)

Hahaha! Thanks Ned!

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

Yer welcome! Now everyday IS Halloween!

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

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

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

amazing

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

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 (twenty years ago)

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 (twenty years ago)

it's all about the bat tie

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

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 (twenty years ago)

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 (twenty years ago)

You've actually done that? Multiple times?

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

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 (twenty years ago)

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 (twenty years ago)

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 (twenty years ago)

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 (twenty years ago)

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

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

Islands in the Stream

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

Only if bad video effects show them IN A STREAM

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