it started out innocently enough

[the_siobhan]

So gashinryu posted this drum intro quiz on his LJ. And the_axel and I have been bending ourselves into knots trying to figure out the songs.

One of them really really reminded me of Tone Loc. But I wasn't sure, so I dug up the track so we could do a side-by-side comparison.

Which reminded me just how much I really loved Wild Thing when it first came out, so I went digging around for it. I found a version where he's doing kind of a Robert Palmer takeoff. But I'm convinced I've seen another version, one with Flea playing the bass. Maybe I'm confusing it with another song? I go digging around some more to see if there is another video out there somewhere.

And I hit a link for another song called Wild Thing so I had a look at it. Holy shit, I'd forgotten this even existed. Back when Sam Kinison was the trendiest thing in Hollywood he did this utterly crap video and started shagging Jessica Hahn. Then I had to explain to Axel who the hell Sam Kinison was, and why he's doing all that yelling and why he had all these big hair guys from the 80's glam rock scene hanging around with him and why Jessica Hahn had the title of Most Exploited Woman in North America for a year or so in the 80's.

And all this story telling made me curious, so I stuck her name in google to find out "where is she now"? Apparently living in Hollywood and appearing as herself in the occasional movie.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, is how I found out about the existance of Howard Stern's Butt Bongo Fiesta.

This is all the proof I need that the Internet is an agent of Satan.

And now I know about Supertwink, staring
Fred The Elephant Boy as .... Man with Gerbil Stuck in His Ass

Rusty Peters: I mean, we haven't even seen him in tight pants yet. It's always the skinny guys that surprise you.
Paxton Fudge: Yeah, well I've got something that will surprise you. It's got one eye, it spits mayonnaise, and I call it "The Rectum Destroyer."

I read up the Wikipedia on Howard Stern.

I wish I hadn't done that.
I was kinda aware of him (he had that movie) and that he's some kind of high-profile shock jock who had pornstars in his studio and all, but that's just wrong.

A little bit of my innocence just died.

Flea playing bass was in a video for Young MC; Bust a Move was the name of the song.

I remembered that at 6 oclock this morning. Now I'm hunting all over the place for the video.

The 80's were not kind to me.

Someone really needs to do a DJ night of 80s and early 90s hip-hop, before it was all about bitches and bling.

I remember the bob Palmer style video - are you perhaps confusing it with the video for Funky Cold Medina, which I can`t remember, but it`s more or less the same song.

Eep! I only even think I could figure out about 15 [1, 3, 4, 6, 8 (that CD is in my car stereo right now, actually), 13, 16, 17, 18, 20, 22, 26, 30, 32 and 33.] at the absolute maximum, and I'm sure that if I actually tried to sit down and work them out, at least five of them wouldn't actually materialize.
