Oh, and parody.


Reminds me more of Step in Time from Mary Poppins...

And I love how the Cheer ad comes up for me when they say cheer in the song.

Christian "Bashing" Vs. Gay Bashing

Mi1ler says...

My take on the video was that by CADL appropriating the term "bashing" to describe instances where their beliefs may have been mocked or come out in a bad light is two-fold.

1. People who casually read the list or hear about it will then assume that because the same word is used "bashing" with respect to gay or christian "bashing" then people will just assume that it means the same in both contexts.

2. The repercussions of removing or altering the use of language that one group has been using to describe a very serious issue and to now use it to describe something that is honestly trivial in comparison (a 5min parody musical number vs. being beaten to death). It weakens the meaning of the word, think of the backlash if a different word that people use for a very serious description was misappropriated to describe something completely different, for example holocaust or genocide or rape.

This I believe is the issue at hand here, not which group has suffered more.

I was a teen in the 1970s. Watching this is a bit like watching the musical numbers from "The Producers." ("Spring time, for Hitler, in Germany...")

And, man, I hope you were joking about listening to that pablum for hours...

Interkosmos: Utopian Communist Space Dance Party

rickegee says...

From the Village Voice:

"Jim Finn's Interkosmos, a retro gust of Communist utopianism, is set to open the New York Underground Film Festival on March 8. A cosmonaut romance set aboard a 1970s East German space mission to colonize the moons of Saturn and Jupiter, Interkosmos weaves together lovingly faked archival footage, charmingly undermotivated musical numbers, propagandistic maxims ("Capitalism is like a kindergarten of boneless children"), stop-motion animation (of a suitably crude GDR-era level), a Teutonic (and vaguely Herzogian) voiceover, and a superb garage-y Kraut-rock score (by Jim Becker and Colleen Burke). Finn's deadpan is immaculately bone-dry, and his antiquarian fastidiousness is worthy of Guy Maddin"

Worst. Street Gang Fight. Evar. (80's STYLE!)

"Ace Hits the Big Time"
Based on the novel by Barbara Beasley Murphy and Judie Wolkoff
Original air date: 4/2/85

Ace (Mr. Belvedere's Rob Stone) is a bit of a worrywart. His family recently moved from New Jersey to New York City, and he's terrified of the stories he's heard about the Purple Falcons, the ferocious gang at his new school. He imagines a thug hiding out in his closet and, in a synth-heavy musical number, a gang of ex-Solid Gold Dancers assaulting him in the streets. Still, he gathers his courage, puts on an eye patch to cover a sty, and heads off to Marshall High. In homeroom, he befriends Raven (Karen Petrasek), who turns out to be the only female member of the Purple Falcons. Turns out Ace didn't really have anything to worry about. The Falcons (including Ally McBeal's James LeGros and The Larry Sanders Show's Wallace Langham) are tres gay.and, apparently, tres stupid. They assume that he's wearing an eye patch because his eye was poked out in a rumble, and they figure they'd better invite him to become a Falcon before he decides to poke out one of their eyes. Ace accepts the invitation, and before you can say Krush Groove, he gets the entire gang a job working as extras on Street Smarts, a Hollywood movie musical about star-crossed lovers who are also members of gangs. Sort of like West Side Story, but not as butch. When a rival gang called the Piranhas, jealous at the Falcons' success, raids the set and kidnaps Raven, it's up to Ace to rescue her. His solution? He sends them a pink frosted cake with "Make Peace, Not War" written on top. The ploy works - the Piranhas are kinda gay, too - and the reunited Falcons sing, dance, and jump off of a building. The end!

In case you're a little slow on the uptake, "Ace Hits the Big Time" is extremely strange. With its "cool" musical numbers and "say what?" plot developments, this is one After School Special that fans of mid-'80s camp won't want to miss.

Handmime: Taking Your Hand for a Walk and an Adventure

Tehcnically everything but the completely silent videos "should" have music. WTF! I'm getting sick of everything having music channel. Someone re-write the FAQ to say music only applies to videos that are primarily showing the performance or featuring a musical number.

family guy predicts osama (pre 9/11)

bamdrew says...

maybe "has Osama+airplane reference pre-dating 9/11/01"

below, from trusty old wikipedia; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Road_to_Rhode_Island

A scene in this episode featured Osama bin Laden that only aired once: Stewie sings a musical number to distract airport baggage handlers from noticing the weapons in his luggage, then remarks that he hopes "Osama bin Laden doesn't know show tunes." The camera pans show bin Laden singing "I Hope I Get It" from the musical A Chorus Line as his luggage goes through the detector. This episode aired more than a year before the September 11th terrorist attacks. The entire scene was taken out of the episode in subsequent airings and the Region 1 "Volume 1" Family Guy DVD set (although the scene remains intact up until Stewie's singing in the Season 2 DVD set for Regions 2 and 4), but can be seen on the "Family Guy: Freakin' Sweet" DVD. In the DVD commentary, Seth MacFarlane mentions that the moral is that "the FBI should watch Family Guy more often."
