So last night I watch episode #307- DADDY-O of Mystery Science Theater 3000.
During the movie one of the bots, I don’t remember which, mentions that an
actress looks like Lou Reed from the Transformer album. I forget all about it. Then
today, after listening to the Ron and Fez show, I decide that I need to buy the
album that the song Satellite Of Love is on (Ron and fez use it as their closing
theme song). I look it up and it turns out that the album is Lou Reed’s
Transformer. Then it hits me. Satelite Of Love is on the album that Joel and the
bots referenced while they were on the Satellite of Love. And Ron and
Fez are on XM Satellite Radio. It must mean something. It must. Or maybe
not.
Well, I don’t know about the XM Satellite radio connection…
Hike up your britches.
Jeez, Now I gotta go check out that song.
So is that where the MST folk got the name of Joels prison? I thought it was just made up or possibly a play on the initials SOL (Shit-Outta-Luck).
I made the same connection too and although I’m sure R&F have never watched an episode of MST3K in their lives, for me it’s a happy little triangle of warmth.
Now tell me how you explain ‘when mighty horse rocks, he rocks a fat ass’?
The filming of the movie “Daddy-O” also figures into James Ellroy’s murder mystery “Hollywood Nocturnes” , a rather fun read.
And Daddy-O was the first movie to feature a score by John Williams.
I miss Ron and Fez. I am an old fan from the Ron and Ron days when they were on in Tampa.
Well, you’d have to get an XM receiver or an XM Radio Online subscription to listen to the XM show, but you can listen to their FreeFM show over the Internet at www.923freefm.com from 6-9.
“Hey Earl, we got any cheeseburgers back there? I’m fucking starving.”
Fez singing “It Makes Me Fez” at the Big Ass Bash a couple of weeks ago.
Sorry, we’re fresh out.
Off to Cafe Society.
Worst fucking kitchen in radio.
The funny thing is what happened to her nose.
This is weird because I just heard (and heard about) that song today for the very first time, and was wondering if there’s an MST3K connection.
