I remember this. It was a very early FOX Network show, maybe even one of their first non sports broadcasts. I think the main character was a high school aged James Bond? But a comedy?

...that sounds so stupid, but then again this was around the same time Herman's Head aired.

I wonder if you are at least partly thinking of Connections with James Burke? It's like 50-50 for what you're describing.

I did a bit of digging, and although I didn't find it, maybe these two lists might jog your memory?

Perhaps one of the Time Life series The Enchanted World, like Legends Of Valour or The Fall Of Camelot?

Does anyone know where I can find the edit from the film Amadeus in which every shot of sheet music has been replaced with drawings of dicks? It’s Salieri’s perfect dictation scene.

No it was none of those. I've read over a list of every hip-hop release that came out between 1995 to 2005 and nothing stuck out. Except Dr Octagon but I might just have been remembering Dr Octagon for the first time in years. Maybe they weren't white or maybe just the guy doing to scratching was. The album art was predominantly blue, maybe?

When I was 3 or 4 years old, my parents woke me up one night to watch the Frosty the Snowman cartoon.

They sat me down in front of the TV and there was some show on that was just ending. A person was driving a car and another car drove up alongside it with extendable kneecappers hidden in the wheels. They drilled through the first car's tires, causing it to fly into a ditch and explode. It was vaguely alarming to me at the time because was this a common occurence on the road? Was this something to be concerned about on my way to daycare?

Anyway, it might have been the A-Team or Knight Rider or something like that. Probably around 1986-87.

I can't seem to find an old music video / song. I can't remember the title of it and all of my searches have turned up nothing.
What I am looking for is a happy hardcore video focusing on a massive piece of Earth digging machinery but it's like a laser cannon or something protecting the Earth in the lyrics to the song.

TIA if anyone knows what I'm talking about.

Am I going nuts or did there used to be 'rock' versions of songs on Imogen Heap's album Ellipse? I can't find any evidence of this ever existing, or even alternate versions. There are instrumentals, I don't think they were it, but they have also been wiped off streaming services and YT for some weird reason. Specifically looking for the song 'Tidal'.

Not Wonder Boy 3, was it? Originally for the Master System, been remastered recently! Very faithful to the original, I still get stuck on the pirate dragon

Alright, this is kind of a different request for this thread, I'm looking for a patent from 1954.

It's referred to here:
https://www.engnet.us/c/c.aspx/OMN006

"First patented in 1954, our High Capacity 'Endless Track' Ball Transfer Units have been in continuous production ever since and continue to solve the industry's toughest applications."

And described differently here:
https://www.engnet.us/c/c.aspx/OMN006/productdetail/high-capcity-ball-transfer-unit

"First patented in 1954, our Omnitrack High Capacity 'Double Recirculation' Ball Transfer Units offer maximum precision & smoothest performance. Machined from solid steel bar, this innovative design provides the highest load capacity & longest service life available."

That patent should be long expired and I really want to see how they're recirculating the balls, but patents that old are hard to find.

An anime style show.

Don't know if it was a series or a movie. Or ever a series butchered into a movie for the western audience.

It was about space pirates, I don't 'think' it was Captain Harlock related though.

All I remember is a spaceship gets attacked by a pirate ship - skull and crossbones painted on it's nose which fires missiles into the target which penetrate the target's hull and release a gas that paralyses/freezes the target ship's crew. Then the pirates board wearing possibly armoured space suits and search the target for something. I remember one or more of them chatting to or commenting to the frozen crew of the target while they searched.

Would have been available in the UK, either having been shown on TV or on video, probably late 80s or early 90s.

There's this groovy rear end psychedelic rock song that I'm fairly certain is from the o.g. 1967-1969 era, not sure if British or American

i am capable of humming it, the chorus and verse

i don't think i have the lyrics in memory correct, but the chorus kind of dramatically builds up to this line that is like "we are all just plastic boys and plastic girls....in a world....that doesnt care"

heard it in a work truck years ago and its always bothered me. i have clicked through the discographys of so many classic bands from the period - Strawberry Alarm Clock, the Soft Machine, 13th Floor Elevators, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Scott freakin' Walker, etc etc etc.......

An oddball catalog from the late 80s/early 90s. I suspect if I could find some old Hit Parader magazines or the like I'd probably find a mailing address in the back pages for something and be able to search the internet for it after that.

But I remember my brother used to get these catalogs every so often that would contain all I could probably refer to as 'Headbanger Supplies'. A huge focus on the 70s-early 90s metal scene of stuff, but there was some overlap with various pop, 60s, hippie, etc. material. I say this because I do recall stuff like Grateful Dead and Beatles merch in it. I'd say it would have to be from before 1992 because I don't recall much in the way of a grunge or rap content.

But it was a catalog that you could order your band posters, tiger tooth earrings, studded leather bracelets, rings with spikes on them, album cover denim jacket iron-ons, T-shirts, and other associated metal fandom supplies from.

Thank you, terrifying dog avatar

I was not only adding the word "up" to the chorus, I was actually adding the extra beat necessary to make it sound right in my head. Fascinating!

There's a goon who has an avatar of Buc-ee the gas station chain mascot, except he's a communist Chinese version with a red star on his hat. Anyone know the poster or where the avatar came from? I find it hilarious.

Does anyone remember a scene from the 90s Beavis and Butthead where they are sitting in a class somewhere laughing really hard? It was their typical "huh huh huh" "heh heh heh" laughs but like super rapid and high pitched. I can hear it in my mind but I'd like to watch it again.
