“…Someone fed me a bowl of soup, and some bread. The days slipped into weeks. Then one day, when I was helping out in Pre-Teen Maternity during their semi-annual Lincoln’s Birthday Sale, I heard they were looking for a new jingle. So I got a guitar, and wrote down a tune that had been creeping and crawling around in my head. It went something like this…”

\*Are you lonesome tonight, is your kitchen a sight  
Is your wardrobe all rundown and bare  
Is your lipstick all smeared, are your stockings not sheer  
Do they make your legs show all your hair

Do the tears on your pillow roll down as you turn  
Do they short out the blanket and make the sheets burn  
Is your heart filled with pain, will you come back again  
Shop at Macy’s and love me tonight.\*

Regards,  
Shodan

Wait where is this from? I don’t remember this part in Airplane and I _know_ Airplane

I don’t know if anyone posted this here but someone taught their budgie quotes from airplane and it’s awesome, especially the “what’s a parakeet” bit.

I am ashamed to say I did. I have seen _Top Secret!_ at least a dozen times, and memorized most of the dialogue.

My lasting memory of Top Secret was the crew sneaking up to the enemy camp, Val Kilmer turns around and “shushes” the crowd, then they continue walking, but the audio of the ground/leaves underneath them was cut out

An underrated ZAZ movie

I enjoyed the singing of the national anthem by the East German women’s Olympic team (which was bodybuilders in drag).

\*Hail, hail, East Germany,  
Land of wine and grape.  
Land where you will seriously regret  
Any attempt to escape.

No matter if you tunnel under the wall  
Or take a running jump.  
Forget it. The guards will kill you  
If the electrified fence doesn’t first.\*

Regards,  
Shodan

So where is the ZAZ blu-ray huh?

If I could get both Hot Shots, and Top Secret in one disk I would be a happy camper (hell throw Airplane 2 in there even tho it’s not exactly them)
