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.

Bow Wow Wow, "Sexy Eiffel Towers"
A lot of moaning and gasping from Annabella Lwin that made "I want Candy". Phallic symbol is obvious.

Julian Cope, ""Eve's Volcano (Covered in Sin)""
"In my hands I got all that I own, in my hands I got nothing at all, my arms start pumping, my fists do it too".Later he says, "My heart stops beating and I'm covered in sin."

Jackson Browne, "Rosie"
Well, 1977- not exactly the '80's, but I can't believe you haven't listed this one at all!

Hawkwind/Pop Will Eat Itself, ""Orgone Accumulator""
No, it's not about a "wanking machine" -- look up Wilhelm Reich and orgone accumulators.Granted, the lyrics _sound_ dirty.

Top Ten Albums List by 24 X-Men
  • 10. Human League, "Dare!"
    This IS synth-pop.
  • 9. Gazebo, "I Like Chopin"
    Again, obscure in the US, but hugely popular in Asia. Very simple yet very catchy synth-pop with a New Romantic touch.
  • 8. Police, "Synchronicity"
    Maybe not the best from start to finish, but side B makes up for whatever deficiency. Where were you when Every Breath You Take came out on MTV and hooked every one of us?
  • 7. Bill Nelson, "Getting the Holy Ghosts Across"
    Another obscure choice. Roxy Music/Japan/Peter Gabriel style. Concept album with great dance songs with strong melody from start to finish.
  • 6. New Order, "Blue Monday"
    Ok, this is not an album, but it would be a travesty if this one does not go into an 80s top 10 list. No matter how heavy they make the beat and rhythm of their hip hops, raps, these days, they just cannot come close to this. This IS dance music at the absolute, unbelievable best.
  • 5. Simple Minds, "Sparkle in the Rain"
    Another Steve Lillywhite produced, kick-ass classic. Relentless intensity.
  • 4. U2, "War"
    The passion may seem a bit dated now, but this is U2 at their rawest best. One of a trio of Steve Lillywhite produced, adrenaline-filled classics in the 80s - the other two being the next entry and Big Country's Steeltown, which just failed to make the list here.
  • 3. Japan, "Gentlemen Take Polaroids"
    Little known in the US; very popular in Asia. Intrguing, delicate yet accessible.
  • 2. Tears for Fears, "Songs from the Big Chair"
    New Wave era at its peak. An album that offers every New Wave genre from synth-pop, dance-pop, guitar pop, stadium rock, new romantic in unmistakable TFF style. One of only two albums of which every track goes into my MP3 (see previous entry).
  • 1. George Michael, "Faith"
    Mature pop songs for adults. Top-notch melody and incredible vocal performance. One of only two albums of which every track goes into my MP3 (see next entry).
There are a few entries here that may be obscure to some in the US. I do hope readers can try them out and be stunned.

Top Ten Songs List by P6
  • 10. Joe Jackson, "Breaking In Us In Two"
    Infectious beyond belief.
  • 9. Sting, "If You Love Somebody Set Them Free"
    A stud in his prime.
  • 8. Billy Joel, "This Is The Time"
    "Stay with me baby, I got plans for you."
  • 7. Tears For Fears W/ Oletta Adams, "Women In Chains"
    Incredible, incredible song.
  • 6. R.E.M., "It's The End Of The World As We Know It"
    The best band of the 80's that everyone discounts today. The apocalypse never sounded so good.
  • 5. U2, "With Or Without You"
    Second best band of the decade and for good reason.
  • 4. Don Henley, "Sunset Grill"
    Why is it that the biggest a**holes make the best music?
  • 3. Rush, "Tom Sawyer"
    It's been played to death, but it's still a modern day warrior.
  • 2. Donald Fagen, "I.G.Y. (International Geophysical Year)"
    Hope springs eternal.
  • 1. Van Morrison, "Have I Told You Lately"
    An absolutely perfect love song from a master craftsman.
One man's point of view.
