that "Quisling" was an actual person who collaborated with the Nazis as opposed to a pleasingly onomatopoeic English word with vague connotations of faery changelings or some kind of hideous and stunted birdlike creature
― Windsor Davies, Thursday, 26 July 2018 10:43 (five years ago) link
have you just watched The King's Choice? That was how I learned about Quisling last year.

I was aware of the name source but not all the connotations of the term. Had been thinking of it as a term for Trump but it seems to be necessary for the country involved to be under occupation which it isn't quite yet.
― Stevolende, Thursday, 26 July 2018 13:06 (five years ago) link
I was thinking it meant deceptive sellout ala 5th columnist so criteria about country actually being under occupation wasn't vital.

The 16 men are on a dead man’s *treasure chest*, and not, like, on a guy’s physical chest (like a tattoo)
― Οὖτις, Saturday, 28 July 2018 20:40 (five years ago) link
"One for the money and done for the rest" refers to the fact that all but one of those sixteen men are dead, too, and all the treasure belongs to the last one left alive.

No results found for "one for the money and done for the rest".

it’s not like there’s an authoritative version of that song that actually means stuff at this pointbut it’s fifteen men not sixteen

David Axelrod's a white guy
― devops mom (silby), Tuesday, 31 July 2018 19:46 (five years ago) link
the musician or the politician?
― 16, 35, DCP, Go! (sic), Tuesday, 31 July 2018 19:53 (five years ago) link
the latter. There's a musician named David Axelrod?

anyway I would've sworn I'd seen pictures of David Axelrod the political consultant before, and would've sworn he was black, but he actually just had a mustache. Was I thinking of Eric Holder? Maybe.

My dad has a mustache but I've never mistaken him for a black man.

I think there's a new reissue of one of the David Axelrod William Blake lps, just saw it in a review section from I think this month.Did some really great funky semi orchestral stuff and the Electric Prunes lps before he replaced teh actual band members.Worth checking out if you're not already familar with him

Probably not the right thread for this but I just found that the film director in "Singin' in the Rain" being slowly driven crazy by having to record sound was Kim Fowley's father.

This kind of blew my mind
I didn't realize until about a year ago that the chorus of Run-DMC "It's Tricky" was interpolating the chant from Toni Basil "Hey Mickey" https://t.co/ZdqV93HefI— jay smooth (@jsmooth995) September 3, 2018

Did you also know "Mickey" is actually a cover of a song by Racey called "Kitty"? Cos I didnt until a couple months back.
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Monday, 3 September 2018 05:01 (five years ago) link
Nope! I'm learning all sorts of things about this song today.
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Monday, 3 September 2018 05:40 (five years ago) link
My fave Toni Basil fact is that she choreographed and co-directed the videos for "Once in a Lifetime" and "Crosseyed and Painless".
― an incoherent crustacean (MatthewK), Monday, 3 September 2018 05:59 (five years ago) link
Ha yeah I learned that a while back and also thought it was awesome.
― Stoop Crone (Trayce), Monday, 3 September 2018 06:18 (five years ago) link

Things you learned from the "Things You Were Shockingly Old When You Learned" thread: There was a video for "Crosseyed and Painless."

(looks video up on YouTube): Hmmm. I think I can see why MTV never played it. Racist bastards.

So weird that Toni Basil pops up here now! I just learned from watching a season 1 episode of SNL that she was in a mid-'70s street dancing troupe called the Lockers along with Shaba-Doo (of Breakin' and Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo fame) and Fred 'Rerun' Berry (and her troupe nickname was Mickey).
― Digital Squirts (Old Lunch), Monday, 3 September 2018 22:56 (five years ago) link
And here she was just few days ago celebrating a youthful 74 years

saw Toni Basil in the credits of Dennis Hopper's awful 'The Last Movie' (1971). Don't remember if she was a performer or choreographer. Also saw Russ Tamblyn (Dr. Jacoby on Twin Peaks) in the credits.

I just learned today that Gene Kelly directed Hello, Dolly! It's not like I was unfamiliar with the movie or its history or its place in the declining days of roadshow musical movies, I just . . . never knew!

I've spoken French since high school and been familiar with the phrase roughly the same length of time, but it was only this morning age 48 that I realised the phrase "gay divorcée" rhymes. Having only seen it in print I guess I mentally voiced it with a clueless Aussie accent.

I never heard of the phrase "shave and a haircut, two bits" till my partner mentioned it last night

My office overlooks, among other things, a set of train tracks, and the other day a freight train passing by did "shave and a haircut, two bits" with its horn.
Chuck, did you never see "Who Framed Roger Rabbit?"

my second car was a pink toyota corolla with an air horn of the same riff, except that the pipes for the notes had been switched
it was hard to convey the correct motorist frustration with that as my warning bell
