There is a flash movie of “Don’t Stop Believing” out there that has slightly misheard lyrics running along the bottom as the song progresses with the cheesy flash animations. But for the life of me I can’t find it. I find mentions of it in searches, and I find links to a glurgey animation featuring the song, but not the one I want with the slightly misheard lyrics on the screen.

Anybody help me out?

Bah!

[THIS](http://www.murdoch-watch.com/star_wars/) is the proper interpretation of that song. Or of Star Wars, for that matter.

Ina _Harper’s Magazine_ of about four years ago, there was an exerpt of a great parody called “What Would Journey Do?”, exactly in the style of “What Would Jesus Do?”. Things like “When Journey walked the earth long ago, back in the '80’s…”…“as we know from Escape 2:15, 'Don’t stop believing. Hold on to that feeling.”… etc.

Some decent Flash skills there, but man, the other guys in Journey were ugly. Nice tune, though. Eat these Licks! as the man says.

What’s with the brief cameo by the badly drawn crocodile in the “shadows searchin’ in the night” bit? I like that bit, but I find the crocodile distracting.

I knew there was going to be trouble when my sister’s last boyfriend announced that Journey was his favorite band.

My god. The pants. They look like some sort of '80s Von Trapp thing, stitched together from children’s bedsheets.
