pretend your face is a Maserati

[IanEye]

Well, I get back from my all too brief holiday and I find things have gotten really heated around here at the old RI, what with the back and forth about racism and sexism and various other ism’s.

Personally, I was raised to understand that only those in the dominant whatever can practice an “ism”. Thus, only white people can practice racism in the USA, but only black people could have practiced racism in Amin’s Uganda.

But everyone can practice simple prejudice. And never underestimate the destructive power of prejudice.

Thus, a Korean woman can be prejudiced against a Polish man in Hoboken; but she can’t be racist or sexist to him.

But all of this disharmony has got me kind of bummed. So, I thought I would pass on a few words from someone who could hardly be thought of as divisive or polarizing.

Ted Nugent.

Whenever I get in a surly way I try to shake it off by dancing the ole’ “Wango Tango”.

I say to my Wife, “Wife, I need to Wango Tango one time with you Honey”. And she is usually pretty cool with that.

So, in the true spirit of giving, enjoy these words of wisdom from the ‘Nuge:

All right! It's zee Wango, zee Tango
1-2-3-4
Come on boys
Time to Wango

My baby she like to rock
My baby she like to roll
My baby she can dance all night
My baby got no control
She do the Wango Tango

My baby she can scream and shout
My baby she can move it out
My baby she can take a chance
My baby got a brand new dance

Wango Tango
Wango Tango
It's a Wango Tango
Ooooh yeah! (oooooh..)
Baby!

My baby like to rock
My baby like to roll
My baby like to dance all night
She got no control

Wango Tango
Wango Tango
Wango Tango
Ooooh yeah! (oooooh..)

Yeahhhhhhhhhh!
Baby! Baby! Baby! Ooooh I like the way you look baby
You look like you're made for me honey
If you wanna take a little chance
I'm gonna show you a new dance
Baby I gotta Wango down one time with you honey
I like it, I like it, I like it, I like it, I like it
Well, it's a brand new dance
Yeah been sweepin' the nation
I said a brand new dance
A rock 'n' roll sensation
Yeah I like it baby, I do it every night
I got to do it 'cos I like it so much
Oh honey believe it baby
You see it's a crazed gyration of the rock generation
It's my motivation to avoid the nauseation, frustration
When I need some lubrication - Baby!
Kinda like, goes kinda like this
You take her right ankle out
You take her left ankle out
You get her belly propped down
You get her butt propped up
Yeah lookin' good now baby
I think you're in the right position now baby
Yeah but if you ain't quite ready I'll make sure everything is a little bit nicer 'cos
I'm gonna get a little talcum
I'm gonna borrow it from Malcolm
Yeah you look so good baby I'm startin to drool all over myself
I got the droolin', droolin', get all wet, salivate, salivate
I got salivate late, salivate late, salivate late
Got salivate, salivate, salivate, salivate, heh heh heh
Yeah you look so good baby, I like it, I like it, I like it
You know what I been talkin' about honey
It's a nice dance, we gotta a nice dance goin' here
Now what you gotta do, I'll tell you what you gotta do
You got to pretend your face is a Maserati
It's a Maserati
It's a Maserati
It's a gettin' hotty
It's a Maserati, Maserati, Maserati
It's a fast one too man, that thing's turbocharged
You feel like a little fuel injection honey?
I'll tell ya about it, I'll tell you about it
I'll check out the hood scoop
I gotta get that hood scoop off, shine and shine and buff
I gotta buff it up, buff it up, buff it up, buff it up, buff it up,
Yeah, shiny now baby, heh heh heh
You've been drivin' all night long
It's time to put the old Maserati away
So you look for a garage, you think you see a garage
Wait a minute, Hey!, there's one up ahead
And the damn thing's open
Hello! Get in there!

Is my baby alive? (Eat my baby alive?)
Is my baby alive? (Eat my baby alive?)
Is my baby alive?
She Wango'd to death

Wango Tango (Wango Tango)
Wango Tango (Wango Tango)
Wango Tango (Wango Tango)
Wango Tango (Wango Tango)
Wango Tango
Wango Tango
Wango Tango
Wango Tango
Wango Wango
Tango Tango
Wango Wango Wango Wango
Tango Tango Tango Tango

P.S. as y'all know, i don't usually like large fonts. but you kind of need them to capture the true spirit of Ted's impassioned vocals....

Nothin' doin'. You got the straight royal flush of crass white trash rock.

Since your'e a Beck fan though...





Satan Gave Me A Taco

Satan gave me a taco and it made me really sick.
The chicken was all raw and the grease was mighty thick.
The rice was all rancid and the beans were so hard.
I was gettin' kinda dizzy eatin' all the lard.
There was aphids on the lettuce and I ate every one.
And after I was done, the salsa melted off my tongue.
Pieces of tortilla got stuck in my throat
And the stains on my clothes burned a hole through my coat.
My stomach was a-trembling. I broke out in a rash.
I was so dry and thirsty and I didn't have no cash,
So I went and found a hose, tore off all my clothes,
Turned on the water and it shot right up my nose.
Some old lady came along and she thought I was a freak,
So she beat me with a handbag 'til I could hardly speak.
I was lying there naked, my body badly bruised,
In a pool of my own blood, unconscious and confused.
Well, the cops came and got me and threw me in their van.
I woke up on the ceiling and I couldn't find my hand.
They took me to the judge, his eyes a-glowing red.
The courtroom was filled with witches and the dead.
Well, the sheriff was a hellhound with fangs and claws.
The prisoners were tied up and chained to the walls.
The air was gettin' thick. The smoke was gettin' thicker.
The judge read the verdict, said, "Cut off his head!"
Well, they placed me on the altar and he raised up the axe.
My head was about to explode, when I noticed the Marshall stacks.
I noticed all the smoke machines, the cameras, and the lights,
Some guy with a microphone running around, dancing in tights.
And I noticed the crew and the band playing down below,
And I realised I was in a rock video.
So I went and joined the band and went out on tour
And I smoked a lot of heroin and I passed out in manure.
I made out with the groupies, started fires back stage,
Made a lot of money and I gave it all away.
Well, the band got killed, so I started a solo career
And I won all the awards and I drank all the beer.
I opened up a taco stand just to smell the smell,
Cooking with the devil, frying down in hell.

I still have a devil's haircut in my mind.

Damned devil!

[IanEye]

Niiiiice.

"If you can't lick 'em.....



... lick 'em."

apparently, about the only thing me and the Nuge have in common is we both like to give cunnilingus.

Oh, and neither of us did drugs in the '70s

[brainpanhandler]

Yah, I didn't figure a guy that liked Sea Change was also into the Nuge.

So what is up with Beck being a scientologist? Fuckin' A...

I found this out after I fell in love with Sea Change and well, I don't know what to make of it.

Have you ever known a Moody by any chance? Wild hunch.

[IanEye]

i used to drink beer and listen to Eugene Chadbourne with a Moody at the Entropy Ranch....

[Jeff]

Maybe I'm especially curmudgeonly tonight, but I don't think this thread is appropriate for General Discussion. (An adult's only Rigint After Dark would be better. I'm already in my pajamas.)

All aboard for the Lounge.

[IanEye]

fair enough Jeff!

sorry about the sex and the drugs and the r 'n r

the Lounge probably is a better place

[professorpan]

At least no one posted the lyrics to "Wang Dang Sweet Poontang."

Though I really despise the wingnut politics and general assholery of the Nuge, along with his penchant for shooting/filling with arrows anything that moves, I still throw on "Free for All" when I'm deejaying and I want to get a dancefloor moving.

I used to drink beer and listen to Eugene Chadbourne with a moody bastard, not at any ranch tho. Howsit Ian?

Happynewdiwali.

[brainpanhandler]

Joe,

Diwali? I had to look it up. I think it's celebrated in october.

As it turns out entropy ranch was a paths crossing.

Are you familiar with the hindu monkey god?

India’s Animation Sector Set To Zoom


Somebody once said to me that the time has come for an Indian super hero. There have been so many mythological heroes but none of them are recognised globally. With Hanuman we plan to create an Indian super hero

Hanuman Returns trailer


Still from Hanuman Returns


Giant Hanuman Statue


Another In Trinidad

[Joe Hillshoist]

October and novermber for diwali actually, but I just made that up for the sake of it. I got sick of saying the same traditional thing.

I have noticed in a few indian films that no superheros, but humans who have super abilities, do pop up. Often in the context of fulfilling the role of a mythological character, or becoming one with said character. A bit like indigenous ceremonies in Australia in some ways, where creation stories are acted out in drama (song and dance and ceremony) and in the process the space becomes sacred and the actors invoke the creation heros they are playing. In that sense the sacred space become a place where this wworld and the eternal world or dreamtime become one or overlap.

Hanuman is pretty cool tho. The animation is a good idea, tho that loincloth looks a bit sus.

[brainpanhandler]

...tho that loincloth looks a bit sus.

LOL. I wonder what Hugh would make of that.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanuman

Hanuman could take any form he wished. He could shrink himself down to the size of a thumb or expand to gigantic proportions. He had enormous strength. He was an expert in all the arts of warfare. He can bestow all the boons of wealth upon his followers. He embodies wisdom and knowledge of the scriptures. His unflagging devotion to lord rama symbolizes the virtue of service and sacrifice. And he can fly! Apparently Hanuman is one of the hindu deities that is the most present and accessible in the current age. Thousands of his temples dot se asia and the indian subcontinent. He seems the ideal deity for "bollywood" to turn into a cartoon superhero. I'm going to try to rent the hanuman animated films.

When will disney decide to do the same with the christian mythos?

Symbolically you mean?
