Gamera is really neat . . .

[bienville]

Having once been a child, Gamera is a friend to me but I first encountered the phrase “Gamera is really neat. He is made from turtle meat.” in this Thread. Smeghead mentions it in Post#2.

I Googled and found the variations:
[ul]
[li]Gamera is really neat. He is made of turtle meat[/li][li]Gamera is really neat. He is filled with turtle meat[/li][li]Gamera is really neat. He is full of turtle meat[/li][li]Gamera is really neat. Gamera is turtle meat[/li][/ul]

But these hits all pretty much showed Messageboard postings, sometimes in sig lines. In all the cases I rummaged through the quote was used as if the reader should understand exactly where the quote comes from. In my case this is a wrong assumption.

So which variation is correct and where does it come from? ouryL complains (in the linked Thread): “now that f’king song is playing in my head!!”
So it’s a song? A for real song or just a little sung phrase?

It’s from Mystery Science Theater 3000.
Check out “Ward E” under the Songs category.

And they used several of those phrases in the song in the show.

I tried to listen closely to this, but it sounds like Joel, Kevin, and Trace are just yelling along with the music and aren’t sticking 100% to what Mike gave them. Which is fine, it’s blindingly funny. God damn Sandy Frank and his long memory, when will we ever get whole season sets of MST3K?
