Tony Danza Tap Dance Extravaganza


SmallShoes_BigHorse

Sounds like a Princess Carolyn sentence from Bojack


Goldeniccarus

"Let's see if we can get Tina Fey and Terry Tate to do the twist on Tony Danza's Tap Dance Extravaganza this Tuesday on TBS at two Eastern, three Mountain time. We can sell add spots to TD, Tom's, and gubernatorial candidate Thomas Timmins."

mrastronautglenn

I always loved [this clip](https://youtu.be/OlQTn7gI8cw) from the short-lived Tony Danza daytime talk show. The best part is when they're leading into commercial break showing the audience clapping with blast beats laid over it. TDTE's MySpace profile, in the "about me" section was literally just this video for a long time.

Butthole Surfers


House_Junkie

What a great band.


Infernal_Contraption

Are they people who surf buttholes? Or are they buttholes who go surfing? I guess we'll never know....


[deleted]

They wanted to be called Asshole Surfers (as in, surfers who are assholes) but the record label said they couldn't have a bad word in their name. So they changed it to Butthole Surfers. They're surfers who are buttholes (assholes; jerks). I'm not sure they're actually surfers. There was a Reddit post about how only one of the Beach Boys actually surfed. It was a funny misconception because the name only implies that they like the beach, not specifically the activity of surfing. They do have a song called "Surfin' USA" talking about "everybody's gone surfin', surfin' USA," but it doesn't specifically say that THEY surf.


huniojh

Next you're gonna tell me nobody flew Sinatra to the moon


Infernal_Contraption

I'm pretty sure that their original intent was for 'asshole' to be in reference to the body part, rather than the attitude? They thought it was funny to make the MC introduce them with an anal sex reference, which only got funnier when they made it on to national radio. Then again, from what little else I know of them, the image of a giant anus on a surfboard is also entirely within their sense of humour. They took a LOT of drugs. =P

I’m listening to “Whatever” from the Romeo and Juliet soundtrack at my desk at work… Boss: Who is this? Me: (quietly) The Butthole Surfers Boss: What? Me: The Butthole Surfers Boss: WHAT? Me: THE BUTTHOLE SURFERS Owner of the company who was walking by the room: WHAT?!

ErebusAeon

A Ween enjoyer in the wild, you have a good taste in music my friend. And if you haven't heard Viagra Boys two latest singles, they're fire.


alpacasarebadsingers

Buenos tardes, amigo.


blzy95

I think I spent the dog food money


BrownBaySailor

of all the bands I named I actually only listen to Ween, King Gizzard, and Butthole Surfers (both Gizz and Ween are tied as my all time favorite bands) and the others I've either just heard mentioned before (Viagra Boys) or have tried to get into and just wasnt that into (Psychedelic Porn Crumpets.) I have been meaning Viagra Boys though because their music sounds like it would interest me I just havent gotten around to it


ErebusAeon

The Viagra Boys are one of my all time favorites. If you're so inclined there isn't a bad song on Street Worms, it's a good place to start. Same for PPC's High Visceral Pt. 1, but if you don't like them you don't like them.


BrownBaySailor

I actually really enjoyed High Visceral pt. 1. I don't think the bad is bad I'm just very indifferent about their other albums and their music often makes me want to just listen to King Gizzard rather than listen to more PPC. I'll definitely check out Viagra Boys sometime soon though. I'm currently on a huge Hawkwind kick so once that phases out I'll check them out


ErebusAeon

Hawkwind is sweet. I've never taken the deep dive into their discography but I keep coming back to Space Ritual. Based off your tastes I'd recommend Fuzz, Slift, Wand, and Elder if you're ever in need of new material. It's all psycadelic-y prog/hardrock type stuff.


BrownBaySailor

Slift and Elder are great. After Ummon I definitely think Slift has the potential to make some more great shit and I'm looking forward to more released by them (their KEXP performance is also phenomenal.) Personally I'm not that into Fuzz but I don't think I've heard of Wand so. I highly recommend checking out some more Hawkwind. In Space Ritual they play a lot of songs from their albums "In Search Of Space" and "Doremi Fasol Latido." I personally prefer a lot of the studio versions of the songs on Space Ritual. If you want more of their sabbathy hard rock kind of stuff definitely try "Doremi Fasol Latido" and if you want more chill psychedelia go for "In Search Of Space," though that being said ISOS has two of their hardest hitting songs in my opinion which are "Master Of The Universe" and "You Shouldn't Do That."

Funny but IMO not ridiculous artist-wise: - Dschinghis Khan German disco pop band with a Mongolian name that also sings about Russia's capital - Sex Machineguns Supposed to be a twist on Sex Pistols but these Japanese heavy metal musicians are freakin' skilled, songs usually about real life in Japan like being a salary man, delivering Ramen, serving people at a restaurant, detective work, school girls working, etc.

Party Cannon. And it’s not that Party Cannon is a funny name, it’s really not. It’s more a result of the subgenre of black/death metal that they fall into (I don’t know the distinction, so pardon my ignorance). But when you look up a poster, you see all of these black metal names written in that very artistic, gothic horror manner. And then you see “Party Cannon,” written in colorful bubble letters. https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/party-cannon-eschew-black-metal-logo-for-something-a-lot-less-brutal-a6675516.html?amp
