it started out innocently enough

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.
