You and me both. Years ago I had a job at White Sands Missile range, where the main entrance road was named after PFC Marvin R. Owen, an MP who had been on duty during one of those monsoon rains. Some guy reporting for duty from New Jersey, or some such station, didn't want to be late. So he drove into the running arroyo that separated him from post HQ. He had his wife and two kids with him as I recall, and they all started floating downstream. PFC Owen drove his pickup into the arroyo in an attempt to stop the car, but they were all swept away.

They all drowned in the middle of the desert, and the next day most likely there was hardly any water to be seen.

I tend not to be the first one to cross.

I call foul. Some of Marvin's notes have been auto-tuned to fit the chord structure of the Ratt song. That makes this mash-up anything BUT epic. Good effort though...

@artician @ChaosEngine Are you folks speaking as potential consumers or parents?

Funny that watching it I didn't even consider how I might or might not enjoy it; I could only imagine about how excitedly my boys would react to seeing it. (And sure enough when I played the trailer for them they were squealing with joy.)

They've never been to a movie theater; they don't even know what one is.

^This could be their first... That's the one, Marvin; that's the silver tuna. (anyone know that quote?)

While i can't stand Thicke or his song (highly suspect the only one i'll really hear from him)...

Thats Marvin Gaye's - Got To Give It Up

Some of the same instruments... but to my hear no where near close enough to justify a lawsuit... feels very much like a cash grab to me.

His source data: NASA Archives, 23488-32

Anyone able to name the opening riff's sample?

Let's Get It On - Marvin Gaye -Tamla Records (Mowtown)

Every time a song originally produced by Barry Gordy is sampled James Brown screams, "WATCH ME!" from his grave.

I can't believe all of the things they say about me
Walk in the room they throwing shade left to right
They be like, "Ooh, she serving face"
And I just tell 'em cut me up and get down
They call us dirty 'cuz we break all your rules down
And we just came to act a fool, is that all right?
(Girl, that's alright)
They be like, "Ooh, let them eat cake."
But we eat wings and throw them bones on the ground

[Pre-Chorus]
Am I a freak for dancing around?
Am I a freak for getting down?
I'm coming up, don't cut me down
Yeah I wanna be, wanna be

[Verse 2]
Is it peculiar that she twerk in the mirror?
And am I weird to dance alone late at night?
And is it true we're all insane?
And I just tell 'em, "No we ain't" and get down

I heard this life is just a play with no rehearsal
I wonder will this be my final act tonight
And tell me what's the price of fame?
Am I a sinner with my skirt on the ground?

[Hook]
Am I a freak for dancing around?
Am I a freak for getting down?
I'm coming up, don't cut me down
Yeah I wanna be

[Verse 3]
Hey brother can you save my soul from the devil?
Say is it weird to like the way she wear her tights?
And is it rude to wear my shades?
Am I a freak because I love watching Mary? (Maybe)

Hey sister am I good enough for your heaven?
Say will your God accept me in my black and white?
Will he approve the way I'm made?
Or should I reprogram the programming and get down?

[Hook]

[Spoken Word]
Even if it makes others uncomfortable
I wanna love who I am
Even if it makes other uncomfortable
I will love who I am

[Breakdown: Erykah Badu]
Dance 'til the break of dawn
Don't mean a thing, so duh
I can't take it no more
Baby, we in tuxedo groove
Monae and E. Badu
Crazy in the black and white
We got the drums so tight
Baby, here comes the freedom song
Too strong we moving on
Baby there's melody
Show you another way
This joints for fight unknown
Come home and sing your song
But you gotta testify
Because the booty don't lie

No, no, the booty don't lie
Oh no, the booty don't lie

[Verse 4: Janelle Monae]
Yeah
Yeah, let's flip it
I don't think they understand what I'm trying to say

I asked a question like this
"Are we a lost generation of our people?
Add us to equations but they'll never make us equal.
She who writes the movie owns the script and the sequel.
So why ain't the stealing of my rights made illegal?
They keep us underground working hard for the greedy,
But when it's time pay they turn around and call us needy.
My crown too heavy like the Queen Nefertiti
Gimme back my pyramid, I'm trying to free Kansas City.

Mixing masterminds like your name Bernie Grundman.
Well I'm gonna keep leading like a young Harriet Tubman
You can take my wings but I'm still goin' fly
And even when you edit me the booty don't lie
Yeah, keep singing and I'mma keep writing songs
I'm tired of Marvin asking me, "What's Going On?
March to the streets 'cuz I'm willing and I'm able
Categorize me, I defy every label
And while you're selling dope, we're gonna keep selling hope
We rising up now, you gotta deal you gotta cope
Will you be electric sheep?
Electric ladies, will you sleep?
Or will you preach?"

Marvin Gaye "What's Going On?" You can find your own tracks.

It's Smokey Robinson's favorite album as well, that should be reccommendation enough for anyone.

I was hoping for a triple Marvin, Pulp Fiction style.

Isn't this the car where Vincent shot Marvin in the face?

How the explosives may have been planted.


I looked at the site and a few comments:

1) The linked video didn't work, so maybe I'm missing something important.
2) There isn't really any discussion on the site of anything specific to planting explosives; just allusions to maintenance or evacutions with no details. It reads more like speculative storytelling than anything factual.
3) Not really sure what the hubbub about Marvin Bush being on the BoD is suppose to be. The author seems to think this is Earth-shattering news, but I don't understand why? Also, looking up Wirt Walker III, couldn't find any verification he is related to the Bush family at all. And even if he were, again, I fail to see the significance.
4) From further research, WTC security is actually provided through multiple agencies. Securacom/Stratesec had a contract to provide electronic security, although from what I can gather than contract mainly took place during the mid/late 90's.

So yeah, not really seeing anything of significance.

The next contest will be announced by @dag soon (like today). It's going to be a much different type of contest and everyone is definitely going to really love it... Stay tuned!

These giveaways are becoming addicting...when/what is the next one???
My last win was a 'Aw,I shot Marvin in the face" t-shirt. A Chicago cop asked me where I got it, hilarious.
Wooo, bacon cruising the VS shop!
