Does anyone know of a children’s video (early 90s VHS era) that had a song at the end that was a ‘teach your kid their address’ song? I remember (•=beat, but this may have been my address’s song that my parents made for me):
###
•••
Street Name
••
Anywhere, USA
••••••

The anywhere, USA part I remember well, since that’s where your parents are supposed to insert their city name.

God drat. That’s it! Thanks! I guess it was a fairly effective teaching tool, after all.

Speaking of stuff you've heard on college radio...

Fall of1991, listening to WFMU. I was taping it because I had called and put in a request and just wanted to get a copy of hearing my name thrown out over the air, 'cause that's how us old folks amused themselves back before the internet.

Grunge was juuuust starting to be a thing, so NYU's radio station was fairly cutting edge, playing this heretofore unknown band called "Nirvana" and such. They played a grungy song before getting to the Skinny Puppy I'd requested, so that's on the tape. Unfortunately, the cassette ran out of tape just as the DJ is going down the "what you just heard" playlist, saying "and before that, we had Kr-"

He sounds likes he starting to say something that begins with a Kr or Cr sound, like Crust or Crunch or something on those lines. The chorus to the song sounds like "MUDHONEEEEEY", but afaik, it's not actually Mudhoney. I asked this on a music site I belonged to years ago and no one figured it out.

I can hear the melody plain as day (minor key, bass-heavy, does a walking-down-the-key thing) and the only other lyric I can recall is the male vocalist screaming "walk all over meeee". And if the tape I had still exists, it's probably rotted to hell in my storage unit.

Good luck, gum shoes!

Ive been trying to find some sort of show, at least an hour long, where Tiff Needell tries to decide which is his favourite Ferrari. It has a bunch of them in an outside courtyard and he goes over the history of some of them like the old Dino's etc. And then he tries to decide which one he likes the most.

For the past 6 years I've been trying to find this tower defense game from the early to mid 2000's. It used simple colors and had a kind of dark blue theme, used line drawn geometric shapes, and it ran as a executable on my computer. It had over 50 levels, and it wasn't Geometry Defense. Sadly I lost it several computers ago.

I think I got it from these forums way back then.

On US cable TV in the mid 90's there was a (I think) anime where a kid is showing either an alien or robot or robot alien around in a city and explaining stuff, I remember clearly him pointing at and explaining traffic lights and because it was the future the traffic lights were square. That's the only part of the thing I remember but I remember watching the whole thing and really enjoying it, and have been looking for it ever since.

Naw they were in a futuristic megacity type deal, though not dark and cyberpunk but clean and bright, lots of white buildings etc. Though it could have just been modern day tokyo or something

There was a game I had on my Macintosh (but I think it might have gotten ported elsewhere) but it was a first person game, you were driving a tank, the whole game was wire frame and you could upgrade your tank. I think what I had was the demo.

ive been looking for this forever:

it was a cartoon, and they were in a shopping mall that was operated by some kind of AI computer. the mall would let people in, but never out, and it was growing larger the more people it trapped.

a specific scene i remember is them going to the mall operations/board room and its just a bunch of robot mannequins sitting around a table who attack the protagonists

def from the 80s, and maybe from the UK

It took 20 years or so, but I finally hunted mine down not too long ago. I loved Voltron as a kid, so my new step-father decided to give me some other Japanese cartoons. Which is how I, at 6, ended up with nightmares of people being turned into puppets, those puppets becoming castle walls, and this screechy wizard thing.

Unico in the Island of Magic.

Less terrifying than Watership Down, more terrifying than The Secret of NIMH.

Oh man I just thought of a tough one, back in the late 90's or early 2000s we had this long MP3 of a kind of DJ mix/mashup (before that word was invented) called "the high score" which featured a lot of the weirder/underground music of the day. It was really well done and a lot of the songs used were surprising because it was really eclectic but flowed seamlessly. It wasn't like a generic mix of techno songs, there was some techno but also like indie rock and hip hop etc. I kinda remember a friend saying his brother or brother's friend made it so if that was the case it may not have had wide release at all. I had the MP3 at one point but lost it in a drive crash

An image I saw a while back making fun of how mutant powers sometimes evolve in X-Men comics. It wasn't particularly well drawn, but it had three panels:

-In the first, two mutants are talking and one says he has a power related to language and that it's not very useful.

-In the next panel, they're fighting some baddies and the second character asks where the first one (with language powers) learned how to fight, to which the first replies that his power also extends to "body language", so now he knows how to fight.

-The third panel has the language-powered character exhibiting god-like powers, saying he understands the "language of the universe", or something along those lines.
