Sitting down to a restaurant meal not too long ago, I realised they were playing an easy listening version of Welcome to the Jungle. I don't know whether to be depressed or offended.

Somehow I'm reminded of -



Apropos of nothing, the guy who did this has a whole youtube channel full of this stuff.

 

[Acmegamer]

Nobby-W Nooo. I refuse to click on that and soil my ears by listening to it. There are lines, and that is one I will not cross. No thank you. (shudder)

But you'll miss out on the freestyle rap they inserted in the middle of the song....



(not even joking)

Unrelated. This site needs a "puke" reaction.

And, of course:

 

[Brightfires]

Nope.
That doesn't exist.

I refuse to allow it into my reality.

Fuck, you got me to watch it. Attitude Breakdown my ass.


Edit: Damn it! Nobby-W Are you kidding me? I watched all of those. WTF man. It's like a trainwreck, you can't help yourself once you click em. Damn... wanders off muttering to himself.

It's not Weird Al, but they're glorious in their terrible cheesiness, and they're remarkably well put together. There's a whole YT channel of them,

I'm pretty sure I've actually seen the Lederhosen video in its entirety on a Clive James show once.

It's time to use the internet for what it was designed for. I'll find their addresses and you guys get the pitchforks, torches, tar and feathers. Nobby-W you might want to move.

They're talented.

They should have at least been classy enough to give you the Postmodern Jukebox version.

Daniela Andrade also does covers without PMJ.

Hmm, this got me thinking. Neither of the grocery stores I go to ever have music playing when I'm there. Should I feel cheated? I do have a nearby gas station that always has country music going though.

You should consider yourself lucky

Keep those stores in mind for this year's Whamageddon!

Jesus Wept, what a fucking travesty. From now on, this is the only Korean who can cover rock & metal songs.

 

[CRKrueger]

Then you can take a pop song and turn it into pure Nightmare Fuel.


This is the kind of thing you find during a Delta Green investigation.

Saw them in concert a few weeks ago. Was a fun show.

I have memories of pastels. Not good memories. Just memories.

lol, did you go to school at Bayside High?

 

[Nobby-W]

I just remember an era when pastels came into fashion - Interior decor as well. In spite of my best attempts to forget.

I was also at school during the era when leg warmers were in vogue.

As a younger Xer (born in 74), Kolchak was before my time. But I am so into him now it's not even funny.

The movies and shows should be streaming all damn day long.

 

[Fenris-77]

Oh, yeah, I remember leg warmers

That needs a unitary and then it would dead sexy!

According to the interwebs, today is the 30th anniversary of the release of Achy Breaky Heart.

I'll just leave this here -

Teal or turquoise and pink. God it was everywhere, even in architecture. The “old” city hall here in Gatineau is pink and teal.

I hated that fad back then and I hate it now!

I watched Kolchak as a kid and was born in 75.' But I got early exposure to horror films because of my older brothers and night owl family in general. The Nightstalker was a staple of late night TV in the 80s.

I have no memory of it. I think I first heard about Kolchak on the VH1 documentary "I Love the 70s" back in the early 2000s. It wasn't until I got back into horror RPGs this past year and one of my fellow GMs/players recommended it. The episodes are almost exactly like how our sessions go.

One cool experiment would be to turn every episode into a mini-adventure module.

I hate autocorrect. That should have been unitard.
