This isn't family fare like "Mary Poppins", is it?

I knew the album because I either have or had that album. I still think this thread should be folded into the other thread until and unless more posters show up and play again.

If that's not it, how about "Naked City"?

"Say 'hello' to my leetle friend!"

Robert Palmer, "Addicted to Love," off the Heavy Nova album.

You could have linked to Ah-nuld, Scatman, Richard, Vincent, Cloris, and you linked through a guy with about 3 cinema release roles, to a guy with 8 (which, admittedly, is a lot more than Willie or Tawny from the other week.) Oddly enough, we could have seen a recursive link- to Phoebe Cates or a lateral one- since Scatman was also in Zapped! But let's work with what we have. Star Trek II-the Wrath of Khan Ricardo Montalban Cannonball Run 2 Probably a lot more stars to choose from than "Scavenger Hunt", which is saying something. SH is probably barely known, except to fans of that type of farce, but had a lot of name-talent. (BTW, did you know they supposedly made a THIRD Cannonball Run movie, starring nearly nobody from the previous 2?)

It's got the A-Team's Templeton Peck/ the original BG Starbuck, the voice actor for Hong Kong Phooey/Chico and the Man's garbageman, the captain of an interstellar garbage ship (clones not in this movie), the voiceover artist for the end of the "Thriller" song, a famous horror movie actor, a now-older frau who did "Dancing for the Stars" (or whatever it's called), Charles in Charge's Buddy, aka Bibleman, and some people I'd only know from movies. (That would hand over an entire answer, and I know you're not lazy.) Edit: Oh, and a musician named for a beef dish (Jim Steinman's partner.) And a big dude who's the Governor of California, last I checked. You've got to know SOME movies off SOME of those.

Gremlins 2: the Next Batch Tony Randall Scavenger Hunt For those of you who remember your late 70s/early 80s action comedies, that gives you a LOT of famous actors to link from...

The purported magician (practitioner of magic) attempts to change reality to conform to his wishes and will. He believes he can change reality to match what he wants by performing something or other. vpw's "Word of Faith" doctrinal system was/is MAGICAL. If one BELIEVES, then one WILL receive no matter if one's belief is faulty. Think it works? Any Christian would appreciate being rich. How many practitioners of vpw's magical "believing equals receiving" doctrine have hit the Lottery? There's big, multistate Powerball and similar jackpots every week. By now, that could have meant tens of thousands (at least) of jackpots for thousands of people who CLAIM it should work. vpw's system reduced God to a Divine Genie who was FORCED to fulfill the believing of practitioners as well as FORCED to fulfill their fears. I'm pleased to say that we don't receive all our fears just as we don't receive all that we "believe for" no matter how much willpower we put into our believing. Miraculous healings? Absolutely! I'm confident they happen. I'm confident I've been around for them happening. They didn't happen because vpw's magical formulae were applied. People trusted God and prayed. Then GOD'S Will came to pass, not the believer's will.

This was worth repeating. It sums up vpw's attitude problems nicely. vpw only thought of vpw as human, and other people didn't count, so they only mattered in relation to what he could get from them. So, there was nothing wrong with telling them all the things from Scripture while violating all the things from Scripture in what he did to them.... when he wasn't telling them the opposite of Scripture because that suited him better. He also knew to keep that last part a secret and continue to tell MOST people Scripture and teach a handful to lie, cheat and exploit instead- because he KNEW he was teaching 2 different, contradictory things and thought that was ok as long as he got what he wanted- even though Scripture said the opposite. He had given his heart exactly what it needed to hear to tell him what he was doing wasn't wrong- then he went to his grave unable to find where he'd gone wrong. The supposed "man of God for our day and time", "THE Teacher" who taught the Bible "like it hadn't been known since the First Century" spent more than a decade deceiving, plagiarizing, drugging and raping, and at the end, looked back and said "What could I have done that displeased God Almighty? I can't find anything." He deceived his heart, his heart deceived him back.

That's it.

"Some people say a man is made outta mud"

In Season 1, we had 2 more Doctors, Spearchucker Jones and Ugly John. Ugly John was an Aussie played by John Orchard, who returned later as the MP Muldoon. He figures heavily in the episode where the Doctors tend to Rosie's Bar when she can't. Why was coffee in his coffee mug? Harry Morgan was featured heavily in the episode, "The General Flipped at Dawn." He played the crazy general " Major General Bartford Hamilton Steele." Steele: You're insubordinate! Hawkeye: Right! Steele: You're insolent! Hawkeye: Right! And you're nuts!!

Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring Christopher Lee Star Wars Episode 3: Revenge of the Sith (I was trying to wait and let someone else get it.)

Oops, hadn't seen the thread. Obviously, this is Warren Zevon's "Werewolves of London." He's known for his gloomy songs, so it's understandable but still a bad gaffe when one reads a description of "Johnny Strikes Up the Band" as gloomy despite it having a merry tune and upbeat lyrics.

I'm suspicious that it was unique. Some posters said his style sounded like other people who'd been on television, and even resembled Leonard's Canadian mannerisms. So, the "aw shucks" was probably plagiarized, and not a unique blend but more something off-the-shelf rather than made-from-scratch.

Ok, George. Answer it, and let us know which quote would have given it away if you hadn't done a search. I'm curious.

vpw was a study in hypocrisy mixed with laziness. When he began, he considered jobs which allowed him to draw attention and/or lots of money- business (money), show business/music (attention, money) and preaching (attention). Since business required a lot more work, and didn't provide the audience, and music was slow to provide a living, especially without long hours (it's said an "overnight success" in music requires 7 years of work first), preaching was a more obvious choice. He could get an audience and a guaranteed living, and not face the risks of never making it big. He was even able to get a Masters from a respectable school in "preaching". (Most people there went to study far more demanding majors, but he was avoiding the hard work.) vpw plagiarized and lied his way to "success", committing crimes and moral wrongs for decades. He publicly preached morals, often, and privately preached and practiced sin and license to sin (ever hear of another preacher saying God Almighty was all right with ORGIES?). As his final months and weeks approached, he was concerned about his HEALTH. Privately, he spoke of the credibility of the speaker for God with physical infirmities, because he realized there was a disconnect between his Word-Faith "God will heal anyone, anytime if they believe" doctrine, his public persona as Super-Believer, and the reality that his body was breaking down. (Decades of alcohol and tobacco abuse seem to have contributed a LOT to that and may have been the direct causes of him getting cancer- I certainly think the evidence is clear on that.) In his final hours, he was heard to have been thinking about his inability to get delivered physically despite his Super-Believing. He was well aware of his decades of lying, sinning, deceit, abuse of God's people and so on. He claimed he was searching earnestly and was UNABLE to find where he had displeased God, where he'd disobeyed God, to the degree he couldn't get the magical healing he claimed God would give. The one person vpw would never blame for vpw's faults and problems was vpw. Facing the consequences of his own decisions never seemed to occur to him, not even on his deathbed.

"In this country, you gotta make the money first. Then when you get the money, you get the power. Then when you get the power, then you get the woman."

It is. Every Halloween I post it, IIRC. Your turn.

This is a very famous song, the title cut of a famous album, and had an even more famous music video. Many people consider it the most famous music video ever made, and many consider it the best. It came up in some Halloween parades as marchers performed dance numbers from it.

South Park

That's it. Can you answer the song one while you're in the neighborhood?

"In the meantime, be on the lookout for a male caucasian lamb. He is unarmed, and considered to be delicious." "You have a fever of 109 stroke 10, you can't have an incubator but you can have a pizza to go, unless of course you go first." "Attention. Attention. One minute to Charlie. The betting book is now closed." "I'm wearing a Warner bra. I play with dolls. My last wish is to be buried in my mother's wedding gown." "I'd like a dry martini, Mr. Quoc, a very dry martini. A very dry, arrid, barren, desiccated, veritable dustbowel of a martini. I want a martini that could be declared a disaster area. Mix me just such a martini." "She's offered her body to science. Time and time again." "I've gotten "Thank you" notes from people I said I'd never see again." "I've eaten a river of liver and an ocean of fish! I've eaten so much fish, I'm ready to grow gills! I've eaten so much liver, I can only make love if I'm smothered in bacon and onions!" "I'm reminded of a story, you've probably heard it. The king and queen of this country were playing golf with five clubs. Their son Jack remarked how strange it was that they only had two hearts between them. And just then his sister Little Deucey and her dog Tre started singing 'Four Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend,' whereupon the whole family beat her to death and buried her with two spades." "Ladies and gentlemen, take my advice, pull down your pants and slide on the ice." "I have this peculiar metabolism. If I don't eat regularly, everything solid in my body turns to liquid. My shoes are full of water." "When they came for me, I ran like a thief right into Grand Central Station. They trapped me in a pay toilet." "Beautiful." "Cost them four dollars in nickels to get me out." "I love a volunteer." ""Did you see that?" "What did you see?" "Looked like a big, red bird with fuzzy pink feet." " I have the impression that we woke you about three-thirty this morning." "No, it was ten of four." "Did we say why?" "Uh, you said you wanted to sacrifice a virgin." "Did we?" "I was too sleepy." ""Oh you...you..." "Who you calling a 'you-you'?" " 'To the Far East Export Import Company, 27 Zapata Circle, Ti-joo-wana, Mexico.' " "Right, go on." " 'Mary had a little lamb. Stop. My dog has fleas. Stop.' " "Good, there's a bit more. 'Mairzy doats and dozey doats, and I'll be home for Christmas.' Got that?" "Uh..in just a moment. Uh, okay." "Sign it: 'Your loving son, Queen Victoria.' " "You told me to keep you up on what he's doing." "'Mary had a little lamb...'" "He knows I'm here." "How?" "I'm Mary." "I hate to tell you this, Mary, but your dog has fleas." ================================================ This show had at least 2 actors play 2 different characters at 2 different times (with nobody mentioning how one character reminded them of the other, of course), and had the late Alan Arbus appear from time to time.

Now I know the rest of you are messing with me. Neither Mrs Wolf nor I particularly like the singer, but she interrupted me pretty early when I ran the posted lyrics past her earlier today.
