One of the things that the crew used to do quite often is create and perform a song or two. Some of these had direct connections to the movie they were watching. Tom's song about Tibby the Turtle from Gamera is one example. Other times the gang went nuts with a song for no reason. The whole swing choir challenge from The Skydivers is a perfect example of that.
One of my favorite songs is the Tribute to Pants. They boys have been watching Hercules Against the Moon Men, and were subjected to several scenes where men in togas or tunics bend over, fall down, or climb somewhere exposing areas that Joel and the bots would rather not see. As the first break rolls around, Joel and bots have had enough and come up with this song. Enjoy!
When the Visigoths sacked Rome on August 24, 410, emperor Honorius responded firmly by declaring it illegal to wear pants. Apparently, looking Goth is easy -- one need only wear pants.
ReplyDeleteBut if they are invisi-goths then they don't need to wear anything at all. :)
DeleteThe Greek historian Herodotus once recounted an incident where a guy named Aristagoras tried to convince the Spartans to go to war with the Persians to drive them out of Ionia. As part of his spiel, he essentially claims that the Persians will be lightweights. From Book 5 Chapter 49 I quote; "They wear trousers when they go into battle, and funny caps on their heads. So you can see how easy they will be to beat!" This implies that, as far as the Greeks were concerned, there were no praises to sing for pants.
ReplyDeleteOh man, that is hilarious. The Greeks really had a very clear definition of who was a barbarian... everyone else.
DeleteThanks for reading and commenting and remember, always praise your pants.
