Take off eh? Bob and Doug McKenzie to return in cartoon form

Posted by ChuckyG, April 29, 2008
Fans of the movie Strange Brew and SCTV will be happy to hear the duo have reunited and are going to be animated for an upcoming cartoon version of their characters. Dave Thomas and Rick Moranis are going to be doing the voices as well, no lame imitations!

The Bob and Doug characters launched as a two-minute skit on the Canadian Broadcasting Corp's sketch-comedy series SCTV in 1980, in part to mock federal government rules that require the public broadcaster to air identifiably "Canadian content" in its homegrown TV shows.

Bananarama, "I Heard A Rumour"

Now it seems, they're telling me

You've changed your wicked ways

But should I give you a second chance?

Baby, I'm too afraid!

So you realize what hurt you did

And the love you threw away

How can I forgive or soon forget?

It's never gonna be the same!

I heard a rumour...ooh ooh

(I heard a rumour)

They say you've got a broken heart

I heard...I heard a rumour, yes I did boy!

Culture Club, "Victims"
The victims we know so well,
they shine in your eyes when they kiss and tel.l
Strange places we never see,
but you're always there like a ghost in my dreams.
And I keep on telling you
please don't do the things you do.
When you do those things, pull my puppet strings,
I have the strangest void for you.
