Breakin’ 1984.
I had to IMDB the sequel though: Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo.
and now for more waste from the eighties:
which “fruity” (I am truly sorry for this clue…) Stock, Aitken & Waterman production ruined both “Help” by the Beatles and “Venus” by Shocking Blue?
Bananarama, and they DIDN’T RUIN IT.
80s Movie: What 1980 movie starred Herve Villechaize and Susan Tyrell? Who directed it, and what is the original and current name of his brother’s band who were featured in the movie?
Correct, except for the ruining part :D.
I’ll be off now, as I don’t have a clue to the answer to Mockingbird’s question
I confess, I looked it up…
Movie: Forbidden Zone
Director: Richard Elfman
Musical brother & band: “Danny Elfman & The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo”, which is nowadays simply called “Boingo”.
as for my question: which famous sixties (and arguably seventies, eighties and nineties) artist co-financed “life of Brian”?
I believe Rush are from Toronto, not Ontario…
Goodbeem: You mean you cheated?
My Sweet Lord, George Harrison.
A 1980 movie called Lunch Wagon, featured a band that scored a couple of 80s hits. Name the band, bonus for what they were called in the movie, triple bonus for an extra trivia bit about the lead singer.
Good guess, but it’s HMS Pinafore. He sings “I am the monarch of the sea, the ruler of the Queen’s navy…” after finding the Germans are digging in the wrong place, and “A British tar is a soaring soul, as free as a mountain bird…” after Marion kisses him.
I didn’t see anyone answer your question. Is it Orko? Or possibly Orco. I think his species name was also “ork”-based. Orko the Orkosian?
It’s definiely Orko.
Does anybody know what it stands for?
Don’t know about ORKO, but I wanna bump this thread… and thought I’d do it with a nuther question…
late 60’s Music
What was the original title of Iron Butterfly’s classic In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida … and how/why did the name get changed?
I’m taking a wild guess here. “In the Garden of Eden,” and it was changed because the lead singer was too drunk/stoned to sing it correctly? <shrugs>
I always thought the “In the Garden of Eden” thing was just a guess/myth, and that no real answer was known…
It is, in fact, true. Ron Ingle was playing it for the rest of the band… the asked the name, and he tried to say “In the Garden of Eden” but sleep deprivation and being under the influence of officially alcohol unofficially various controlled substances… it came out “In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida”… the rest, as they say, is history. somebody give us another question!
This is an easy one. What professional wrestler did Cindy Lauper associate with and featured in at least one of her music videos?
Captain Lou Albano.
I’ll be back with a trivia question as soon as I can think of one…

New question:
When he died, C.S. Lewis’s death would’ve likely been a major event due to his massively succesful and popular series of books for children, The Chronicles of Narnia. However at the time of his death at 65 another very important person in the world died, overshadowing his. Who was this person, and how did he die?
JFK. Shot, as they say:)
I don’t think that anyone correctly named the sequel to Breakin’ as “Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo,” where Turbo, Kelly, and Ozone (the TKO Crew, as it were) somehow breakdanced their way into saving a community center.
Here’s one for you all: 80’s movies:
–Why is Heather such a megabitch?–
JFK is the answer you want, but interestingly, Aldous Huxley died that very same day.
–Why is Heather such a megabitch?–
Fuck me gently with a chainsaw, I think because she lost at croquet?
Who played Kate in “Kate and Allie” and who is her real-life husband?
