Hmm.. a lot of hate here.  I didn't start watching this show until the end of the first season, but it slowly drew me in, and by the end I was a fan.  If only ABC could have a little more patience for their shows' development period, we would still have this show, Ben & Kate, Better Off Ted, Cougartown, Happy Endings…

I think, when he was subbing in for Rock Roll, doing the twitch, it was just a live performance…(damn those pickled dodo bird eggs!)  but Hi Fye recorded, "Listen to the Rockin' Bird" in one of those booths and then got discovered…..course, it turned out Fred was square, like, four corners, so fame was fickle and…

But Fred Flintstone did one once.. or was that Hi Fi?

Gabriel Ratchet, I'm with you.  I didn't start watching that show at the beginning, but I started to catch it towards the end of the first season, and then started watching it regularly in the second.  It really grew on me, and I liked the comment that was made about the gal who played the b, (can't remember her name…

One of the best ones I heard about, was the Kingsmen recording of Louie Louie. Their singing was so unintelligible, that people were imagining all sorts of racy and edgy lyrics, when in fact nothing was further from the truth.  The FBI even started an investigation into what sorts of nastiness was being said.

That was me a few years ago when they cancelled Better Off Ted…

I think, to me, right from the opening scene, it was just, so… odd…I was smiling all the way through.. the discussion as to the ill logic of the pizza company logo, for instance, when the main character ordered pizza in the beginning of the film over the phone, just made me happy.. but I suppose I was in the right…

I saw this at the Calgary International Film Festival last September, and have been waiting patiently (mostly) for this to come into regular circulation.  its one of those films you either love, or don't - kind of hard to be lukewarm about.  I loved it, as did everyone that saw it with me, and it was one of the…

There's something, I say, there's something a little eeEEEEeeehh about a kid that's never played baseball.

a Newt?

Thanks, Teamocil! I recall there was something that was going to be tricky about finding that version, and of course, it was the tribute to Kurt Weill angle that I remembered, thanks to you.. Now I'm off to the music store!

I was the same way with that song, but I found it a number of years later in a lyle lovett cd that came out for sale…I think it was "Smile - Songs from the Movies", which I bought as soon as I knew the cd existed.  I don't remember seeing it until then, and according to Amazon that cd came out in 2003, so maybe you…

Now that you say that, I kind of remember hearing Sting's version one time on the radio, and remember it being powerful as well.. I need to look that up somewhere…thanks for the tip!

I did enjoy this film at the time, but have not revisited it since then.. I do remember hearing Lyle Lovett sing his version of Mack the Knife over the closing credits that haunted me for years.  The juxtaposition of the cheery 50's version in the opening credits from Bobby Darin, and the stark cold reality of what…

ok.. I may get lambasted for this, but I bought his album at the time, as I enjoyed his singing on this episode, and, well, I used to buy a lot of albums… yes, the album is not good, and almost none of it is re-listenable, but he does do a fairly nice version of All Good People from Yes, duetting with Jon Anderson at…

You can also use:

I just assumed it was Marley, hence her disconnect when Ryder said he was no longer into her… boring and predictable, I thought..

I figured she had to be hot, but as you say, the amount required to override the flashing light in the eyes and pissing off the entire theatre performance is a very significant amount of hot, and can be hard to find…and not necessarily worth looking for, even so.

Hmm.. I think the lesson here is not to go on dates with women who text during the date..

Hmm..true enough.. and Beethoven was bit of a bad ass at the time, so that would have got him in with the rebellious youth of his day, so I agree… but this just got more and more unwieldy the more I thought about it, and all the missed ones.. Squeeze - Argy Bargy, Springsteen - Born to Run.. maybe they should have…
