Back To The Lab Again (Dexter's Labratory Cont)

While the show was popular it got it's fair share of attention and understanding but one of the most intriguing was a mild hip-hop song with the title "Back To The Lab Again". It would run, rather randomly, as a commercial or place filler on Cartoon Network.

It's a bit repetitive and can, like a couple posts back, get stuck in your head if you let it. While it may also not be "for everyone" it is rather "kiddy", but it's based on a cartoon so that can be given pass.

Back To The Lab Again

It's kinda cool, right?

Dexter's Laboratory

Dexter's Lab was one of the best shows on Cartoon Network for a long stretch of time. It was a very clever show written around, or about, a boy genius and his idiot family. This was with the exception of his mother who showed clear signs of herself being of sound intelligence but instead chose to apply herself differently.

The intro to the show was very well done. It was short, had a really good tune and was funny, at least the first time. It has Dee-Dee, Dester's sibling, doing her usual deal of invading the lab and messing with Dexter's head. In the end of it, she blinds him.

One of my personal favorite episodes was titled "Labels" but a search and find, without having to upload it oneself, has proved a bit fruitless. Actually, other then download, finding full episodes that have not been "pooped" is a chore in itself.

Not Silly Song!

Now we shall counterpart the annoyance I might have give you the past couple of days with an acquired taste. A personal favorite, here, at Solve Unamusement is Tool and one of their songs that is a favorite would be Ænema.

The song is a filled with a lot of rage, which is contradictory to most of what is on site, that describes the band's, or at least the song writer's, view of L.A. Personally, I feel it applies to a good majority of the U.S. or even the commercialized world.

Continuing The Rampage (Silly Songs 2)

This isn't so much about silly songs but, now, about songs that simply get stuck in your head for hours and hours on end. In that case, I have found a few which those around, may enjoy taking turns washing your mind with.

Don't Worry Be Happy


While this song might still fit along the side of "silly", I'd have to admit to this song imprinting itself on at least my own brain. I do wish you luck on removing it, yourself.

The Lion Sleeps Tonight


Two hours from now, you'll be humming this song and forget where you even heard it today. For extra silly awesomeness, I've included the hippo and dog version.

I believe the reason that most of these songs stick in your head is because of a catchy and easy to remember chorus. We all must admit that it is the chorus that we get stuck in our head and almost never remember the rest of the song.

Silly Song Rampage!

Because this was not an automated post and I need to sleep this post shall simply be a couple of my favorite silly songs. One being bout the The Flying Purple People Eater and the other being The Witch Doctor.

The first is rather clever, Flying Purple People Eater, and all kinds of merchendise for it. I shall look for the movie, not the Alvin and The Chipmuks meet the Purple People Eater but there is an actual live action movie, soon enough to see if that too stands up to time.

Beware, these songs might get stuck in your head for days.

Witch Doctor



Hope you enjoyed that.

Google AdSense (Blog News)

Some of you may have noticed the small, or possibly big, change to Solve Unamusement in the notice of advertisements. While I have been fighting doing this for awhile there isn't really a reason why there can't be something small on the site that might help me earn a buck, eventually, for the work/effort that was put into the thing.

The only problem is that I have to, personally, remove/disable add-block features in order to view the streamline and tolerance of this feature. Each time I do this, I have to massivly update and edit the ads that are about on Solve Unamusement.

What will probably happen, even before this post is published, is a couple customized one made specifically for Solve Unamusement which will be placed in areas that most people either wont see, which defeats their purpose, or in a place at least where it is not distracting away from the blog as a whole.

Desperately looking for feedback on this, thank you!




On another note, I have been pondering with the idea of expanding old(er) posts with new content. Revisiting, similar to how I post random things for the "Irrelevant Pic", old blog posts and providing with new/similar content for them.

Feedback would be nice but not needed

The Monster Mash (Halloween Three)

Now I know, for an almost absolute fact, that a majority of everyone has heard of The Monster Mash. What most of us have not, probably, seen is the Groovy Goolies singing this song. Of course this is nothing more then a mashup by a youtube user but is done rather well, I think.

This, ends the Halloween triple thread now with it being November first. Expect something of the normal Unamusement nature, tomorrow.

The Maze Game (Halloween Two)

Something else that might be a "bit old" but still fun and relevant to the holiday, is a game I that was recently stumbled upon.

The game, itself, is simply called "The Maze Game" or just "Maze Game" but has this nice underline feature that even when someone who expects it, still isn't fully ready for it. While the game is fun for its own reasons what is more fun is sharing this game with friends.

Controls are very simple, all one needs is their mouse and computer speakers. You guide a little dot along the maze and try to not touch the sides. Sound helps with this as small warnings are given if you touch the wall.

Controls

• Mouse - Move Game Cursor and Navigate Maze
• Speakers - Sound is, sadly, needed to get the game's full effect

After all those short talks on the game, a link to play is needed. That link is here.

Baman Piderman (Halloween One)

Unsure how many, if any, of you have seen Baman Piderman as it is a rather "popular" online episodic show but I'm going to post something, anyway. Baman Piderman is another show by min-nova who are the ones who host Dr. Tran so this can not be all that horrible, to some of us.

Baman Piderman - Hab Da Sleepover


The episode that runs before this one might make the nonsense a bit more understandable but it is not a guarantee.

Now, some of you may be asking yourselves "Why did he post this mindless stupid" and that is because I am doing some roughly based on Halloween type posts until the first of November. Of course these will not be very strongly tied to Halloween and only vaguely allude to the holiday at all, but one figured "What the hell".

Hope those who read, watch and subscribe enjoy these next three days of sorta kinda Halloween.

Link's Awakening Epic Ending

SPOILER

After all is said and done, Link collects eight musical instruments then kills the big evil and then...

Link's Awakening DX - Ending


...then link dies at sea. That is the "perfect ending" which is obtained by not dying once during the whole game. However, the difference between this and the other is only the last bit with the face of the female.

Yes, after all that hard work, the island is make-believe (which you are told several times by each boss monster) and it turns out that link was just sleeping next to a giant flying wale.

Link's Awakening Music

For 8-bit music, this game has some that is both painful and awesome. For the purpose of this blog only the awesome music will be shared. Most of this is included with the songs that Link learns to play on his ocarina, a later staple of the series, which he learns from those about the island.

There are three, of these songs. One is taught by a girl who sings in the main village and is the person who found Link laying on the beach. Another is taught by a singing fish, which is my favorite of the three. The last is taught by some frogs and allows to resurrect things with the very tune.

I am going to post those songs, here, in order of least amusing first. That meaning they are not in order you obtain them in game and the one which is annoying, at least its "sung" counterpart.

Song of Awakening


Frog's Song of Soul

Link's Awakening [DX]

Running with an idea I am working about creating multiple posts over several days about a similar, if not the same, subject we are going to look at Link's Awakening [DX] for the gameboy and/or gameboy color. The game starts with Link on a ship in the middle of the ocean during a nasty storm. The ship is struck by lightning and then Link washes ashore on a random island only to be dragged off by some chick to a nearby town.

There, in the town, people go through his things and read the name on Link's underwear. Tell him he dropped his shield and then say a sword might be chilling at the beach cause people were to lazy or stupid to pick it up along with the shield. From this point on Link is talked to by a magic owl, at random times, into collecting random instruments that will wake up the Wind-fish.

Enough of the story, lets open this up with a bit of Nintendo tomfoolery. Link's Awakening and Link's Awakening DX are two separate games that are no different then a paint job, and people bought them. Heck, people play both versions today, with emulation etc, for one reason or another.

The Mirror Song

One of my favorite songs and moments in the movie Toys. There isn't much more to say then that but for blog reasons and slighlty lazy behavior, this is the third blog post in the series about the movie Toys.

If anyone can find the actual movie clip of the fake MTV showing on the guard station that would be awesome.

Toys' Music

Absolutly one of the best things about the movie Toys was and always will be its music. From "Happy Workers" and its opposite to the actual music video scene within the movie that is, supposedly, performed by Robin Williams and Joan Cusack.

Happy Workers


Workers


One of my favorite, I am having either difficulty finding or difficulty in understanding. The song is played throughout the last part of the movie while those within the toy factory are running from the small tanks, etc. It may simply be a mix of "Workers", which is the opposite of "Happy Workers", but it may have its own tune.

If anyone knows anything about what I am talking about, please post with the name of the song, or if I am correct in thinking it is simply a part of "Workers", mixed throughout the movie. If it is the former, please provide a link.

Running with Toys

This is going to be the first of a few Toys posts which will cover one of my most favorite movies, ever.

A movie that is thought by some to be one of Robin Williams' best but others, still, his worse; toys is an excellent movie for those who enjoy some rather simple things in life. The film covers some well felt themes of death, love, war, acceptance and understanding while still having a generally upbeat feel to it.

Lots of "big actors" played a role in this movie from Joan Cusack playing Robin Williams' character's sister to throwing in LL Cool J as one of the main antagonists within the film.

While the movie has some great music, humor, actors and a dash of heart one of the things this movie didn't/doesn't have/had was good advertisement. The trailer and advertisements for this movie are/were just horrible to listen to. In honor of that statement, I give you the trailer and an advertisement for when the film fist when on home video.


Trailer


Advertisement


Now, let us be honest; these do not make you care about the film much, do they? These short blurbs make you not care at all about the film thus missing out on so much. Suppose if one was to argue it was "for kids" then this type of advertisement and trailer would pass, but not by much.
