I heard a song on google play music in the early 2010s that was either a direct cover of or used the melody of the cure's six different ways but it was done in a very modern style. I believe it didn't have any lyrics although I am not sure and it wasn't titled six different ways. It would be cool if I found it again.

There was a live action Snow White or just fairy tale in general movie I watched while I was sick years ago and all I remember is Snow White leaves the prince to go back to the dwarves who she had a sexual relationship with all of them, it might have been a French Canadian movie Or I was jus hopped up on flu meds

There's a shoot 'em up game I played in the late 80's or early 90's and I've gone through entire lists of games and never found it. It's not 1942 or raiden or anything like that. It's set above a planet, probably earth but I'm not sure, you're maybe in the clouds, not space. The first boss is a round spaceship kind of ufo boss. The second boss is 2 large grey jets that shoot little homing missiles that you can shoot down. There are power ups that you can collect, that change if you wait a few seconds. Extra life, extra smart bomb. edit: arcade game, vertical scroller.

When I was 8 or 9 I stumbled across this (in retrospect) pirate radio station that would play a continuous mix of EDM on friday and saturday nights. No announcer, no breaks in the music, just 4 straight hours of EDM. I'm pretty sure it was on the AM band. I thought it was the coolest thing ever, and have fond memories of having friday night sleepovers and playing playstation while blasting this pirate EDM station that I had happened to find. It was extremely 90's and it ruled Not something I'm going to find again, obviously, just wanted to reminisce

It's so easy to set one up that it's a wonder there aren't more. If you go anywhere in the vicinity of New York City, the entire fm radio band is completely saturated with Jamaican reggaeton pirate radio stations. Last time I tried to listen to the radio in that area, it actually pretty much drowned out everything else, it kind of sucks.

Back in the early days of the internet, there was a story on a blog about 'hey did you see that girl with the giant head at the baseball game?' Anyways, it was a clip of an MLB broadcast, shot towards home plate from center field. And off to the left, down the first base of the stands line there was a person with just a monstrously sized head sitting in the crowd. Didn't appear to be a special effect, the broadcasters didn't mention it, it wasn't a cardboard cut out because she was talking and moving. But just a freakishly big head. Not like Elephant Man misshapen either - looked like your average person just in a video game big head mode. It was unsettling in a 'huh that's really weird' sort of way. I'm 95% confident it was a girl and 75% positive it was down the first base line.

A movie from the early 80's, already asked this in the CD thread for finding movies but no luck. Its a conan/medevil/fantasy style action movie. It has a part where they hang someone upside down over a pit of stakes, and set fire to the rope. The first dies, but the second gets free. Not sure if it was a test or a punishment. The one that dies, it quickly cuts to them in the pit, and you see the stakes sticking out of their body.

Unfinish3d posted:Pirate radio This reminds me of a show that used to air on a college station in my city for like 3 or 4 hours late at night back in the 90s. It was called AfterHours and they played all sorts of crazy electronica. I loved it. Also when I was younger and UHF was still a thing (my fam didn’t get cable until way later), I could occasionally pull in this channel that aired music videos by request. The way it worked was, there was a continuous scroll of songs and each one had a 3-digit code. You’d call this 900 number and enter the code, and the video would air. Each video was probably like 99 cents or something. I think the channel might have even been called Jukebox. Not really a white whale; I’m just curious if anyone else remembers seeing it.

I woke up to one of mine playing on the radio this morning, utterly bizarre. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbnke0KdajM I've typed so many variations of that 'don't be a slave to your brother' line into google at various times.

DocBubonic posted:I've been curious about a book I read back in elementary school. This was during the early eighties, I remember reading a book about ghosts and paranormal stuff. I believe the book was for kids. It was larger than a regular book, more like the size of a magazine. The cover was like a trade paper back book. It also was completely illustrated. This book might have been part of a series, but I'm not sure. Not sure if anyone has a clue on where to even start looking for such a thing.  This was published in 1977, so it very well could have still been on the shelves, especially in a school library, and was roughly the print format you describe. Searching for the title and such online also brings back a lot of reviews along the lines of "I'd been looking for this for years," etc., so it seems like it made an impression. You can read the whole text on the Internet Archive, and there are plenty of single page scans to look at, as well.

They try to blow up the flesh earth from space but fail. The moral of the story was to treat science and religion as equals or some poo poo. I think that was called 'Bio Apocalypse'. I can't find a thread link (it's from 2008) but I did find these: https://archive.org/details/bioapocalypse I'm not sure but maybe there was a rule against linking to TVtropes?: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Webcomic/BioApocalypse And of course the animated version on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pu91WyjDJR0

I have three stupid whales that Google has so far been hopeless in finding. FWIW I was born in the early 90s in the UK. 1. A book I read in high school. I don't remember a lot of it, but the tone was really melancholy and at the end the main kid breaks into a (school? public leisure centre?) and tries to swim in the pool where he gets trapped under the pool cover and drowns. The ending shocked me and it's been burned into my brain ever since. It might have been set in Australia, and it may have had a bird on the cover, but I'm not sure. 2. A TV advert for 'Big Baby Pop'. This is the same product as 'Baby Bottle Pop' in North America, and it even had the same jingle but the lyrics were different. I distinctly remember it ordering kids to "lick the pop, stick it, shake it and suck it" and even as a kid I thought this was hilarious. My Canadian GF who grew up with the NA version totally doesn't believe me and I want to show her. 3. Another TV advert. I don't even think it's that old, but it was for Nesquik milkshakes or some poo poo. Anyway, the slogan was "when you see the rabbit, grab it!". We have pet rabbits so I say this to them all the time and I didn't realise this was weird until it turned out nobody else seems to remember it. I don't even know if it's real or some Mandela Effect bullshit so it would be good to find some evidence, but Google has even less on this than on #2.

I totally forgot about that one but I can almost vividly see in again in my mind. There was something strangely uncomfortable about it. Can't seem to find it again either. Mine is a 2000's short/sketch that i think i saw somewhere on myspace, the title is something like "mr.... big day out" where a man in a suit is running through people's gardens before yelling at another man in a window 'think fast live forever'! after which he jumps a fence and drowns in a pool. I just want to see it again once because not knowing what it was actually about and why it keeps popping up in my head is super frustrating.

Mister Speaker posted:A movie or TV episode with this alien creature or something, possibly a robot, that's disguised in a trenchcoat and hat, like an old film noir detective look. It has glowing eyes but otherwise no visible face, and it consumes people by opening the trenchcoat and enveloping them in it, vibrating and shaking back and forth, ultimately turning its victims into goo that pours out at its feet. Are you thinking of the Winged Devourers from the old movie 'Beastmaster'? Because that's kinda what they do.

In high school I played a 2d sidescroller flash game constantly. It was black and white and sorta based on the Matrix bullet time concept, shooting and dodging bullets and whatnot. It involved a lot of jumping and the characters didn't have arms, just hands that floated near their bodies. I don't think they had legs either. The main character may have worn a top hat? It's probably not even very fun but I just want to know what it was called and try it again.

I've been looking for a weird Sinbad movie that my family had on vhs when i was really young in the early nineties. İn it, Sinbad and his shorter, fatter comic relief character go on 3 or 4 adventures. They're separated from their crew, captured and have to escape a palace (i think?), confront the Rok, get lost at sea in a tiny raft, and take down the cyclops! And then the film abruptly ends. İ remember the thing with the Rok taking place in a desert and they think it's eggs are boulders at first. And when they're adrift in the raft it was the first time there's a bit of dialogue that ends the scene where the comic relief asks "why didn't you tell me?" And Sinbad says "you never asked". During the cyclops fight the rest of the crew is there for some reason too, and they have to break out of a cage together. The animation quality was really up and down, mostly down. İt might have come from Eastern Europe? İ say that because as an adult that's what the style of drawing and animation reminds me of. İ really want to find it again, it was my childhood favorite movie and i watched that tape endlessly. I'd love to see if it's anything like my memories.

Phone posting but I took a look at the Sinbad the Sailor entry on wiki and they have a pretty big list of adaptations in the ""In popular culture" section maybe start going through that. Edit-the stories became popular in a later edition of Arabian Nights so maybe include that in your googlin

Conan O'Brien used to have this ongoing gag where this clip would play of an old-ish bald man yelling either "YES!!!" or "NO!!!" or something over a techno beat. It would keep looping over and over on top of this techno beat. The guy kind of looked like that wacked out guy from Heaven's Gate cult but it wasn't him. I would say this was late 90s Conan. Searching yields nothing and I would love to see this again. I've been looking for it for 20 years but it's a pretty hard thing to search for.Ralph Hurley posted:I used to watch a ton of Nickelodeon in the very early days, around 1985. They did a lot of PSA type stuff for kids and teens between shows. There was a series that would start with a question a kid might ask about growing up, then it would show regular kids hanging out in playgrounds giving their best answers. One was a boy asking “how do I get girls to like me?”. Then cut to different kids all saying stuff along the lines of “just be yourself”. The last kid they showed was an absolute goofball sitting on a wall surrounded by his friends. He had on an enormous pair of sunglasses shaped like lightning bolts. His answer to how to get girls to like you was “Steal their comb. It works.” I couldn't find this but chances are it's on Youtube; it's just that no one has chopped it out to make it it's own video. There's hundreds of hours of early/mid 80s Nickelodeon ad breaks so it's sure to be in there somewhere. LL_Ghoul_J posted:
