"get weird"

about 4 lowt ide songs got ripped off within "get weird," and we're sure none of this was intentional because literally like 12 people throughout the history of time have even heard lowt ide... let alone the notion that anyone was able to actually sit through a lowt ide album, but also pinpoint specific moments in songs that are worth "stealing." it's obviously a coincidence. but noteworthy nonetheless.

to be honest we couldn't even tell you which lowt ide songs were noticed... the verses resemble that one that goes "i'm gonna go to the bar, i'm gonna go to the bar..." and the "la la la la la la la" chorus resembles "Would You Guys Mind Not Playing Anymore Songs." whatever.

80's Guilt #29: Wang Chung “Dance Hall Days” (1984)

Most people are unaware this song and the abysmal "Everybody Have Fun Tonight" are by the same band. There was a good Thomas The Dancing Bug comic about 10 years ago which had some history on the catchphrase Everybody Wang Chung Tonight which we assumed was a joke and not a genuine catchphrase.

Apparently this is included in GTA: Vice City, and thank god for videogames or else half of the world's 80's music would never have been embraced by nearly as many young people (for better or worse).

This song has not one, but two horrible videos, and so we chose one at random.

Good mullet juice for the kids.

80's Guilt #30: Timex Social Club “Rumors” (1986)

Hear the one about Michael / some say he must be gay
I try to argue, but they said / if he was straight he wouldn't move that way

We're watching the video, and it looks like they're not singing about Michael Jackson, which we had assumed for some reason... forgetting that this was 1986 and Michael Jackson was still beloved by women. Unfortunately, the video does not include the entire song, and so to make up for this, we've also included two Cameo videos.

One clip from "Kids Like You" is on Youtube

For those not in the know, Kids Like You is one of our favorite shows that's ever been on TV. It was discovered by a few of our associates on Trinity Broadcasting Network some time around early 1996 when we were in high school. Our parents were not happy that we were laughing at a Christian show, but how could you not laugh at this thing...

Its appeal was its incredibly low budget.. I would be very surprised if more than $10 was spent per episode.. It was taped on video, and they used the same ugly puppets in every episode (although to their credit, they must have had a lot of puppets). The script to the puppet segments was entirely ad libbed, and they seemed to use first takes of everything. So they're pretty much the Christian children show equivalent to Lowt Ide.

I think late 2005 must have been the last time this was shown on TBN, and since then we've been searching for some kind of DVD boxed set which may sadly never be made. However, we did find this one Youtube clip, posted several years ago by a video blog called Third Chair Trombone and later commented on again by Conblogeration.
