It took me way too long to figure out why there was some common iconography between those things and the gyroids in Animal Crossing.

Not quite "figured it out", but incidentally learned while looking up the legality of selling deer antlers at my place of work:

I have committed a crime against both the Commonwealth of Virginia, and Mother Earth. Two years ago I was homeless and living in a camper on a friend's farm property. One afternoon I was sitting outside the camper and saw a 3-foot rattlesnake slithering up into my "house". In defense of my cat and myself, I ran screaming for the farm owner to dispatch it, and he grabbed his gun and blew its head off.

Turns out it's an endangered species, which you are not legally allowed to kill even if it's threatening you (I'm not sure what I was supposed to do, call 911 and wait for them to get up to East Bumfuck while my cat theoretically got bit and died trying to kill it for me?).

Kinda feel like poo poo, now that I learned that.

Well did you at least eat it?

My mate B, has himself a taste for the ladies. Has one baby momma "V" he's truly in love with, and has got her and this other girl pregnant within days of each other. He is now absolutely bricking it because he is hearing from both women that they are going to the same maternity classes. Meanwhile, girls 3 and 4 have a huge fight over who he belongs to at a house party, and girl 3 throws girl 4 into a fireplace so hard the chimney comes crashing down on her. She then writes the above song.

Meanwhile, I've attempted to go on a Eurobeat odyssey in Beat Saber and sadly met with just about every permutation of disappointment:

  • The mapping is infernally difficult, with no easier options (which is fair, and kind of what I was expecting)
  • The only mapping of a song is some lovely remix and not the original.
  • The only mapping is too easy​.
  • The mapping is absolutely loving spot on, just brilliant, incredibly intuitive and a blast to play, and it stops half way through the song.

dreams of enacting early 90s nightclub on my own terms: crushed. Oh well.

This one was slightly too early to count as Eurodance, plus it was a dumbass parody song by popular UK TV comedian Harry Enfield

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ULeDlxa3gyc

..... but that didn't stop it racing up the charts, peaking at #4 on the UK singles chart and kicking off a live tour around the nation and an appearance on Top Of The Pops

Here's the Stuff You Can't Believe You Just Figured Out angle: the line "Bosh bosh bosh, loadsamoney!" was later sampled and run through a vocoder by the KLF (working under the name The Timelords) in Doctorin' The Tardis

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DsAVx0u9Cw4

That song had a weird mix of samples: https://www.whosampled.com/The-Timelords/Doctorin%27-the-Tardis/samples/

The KLF were a weird avant garde/dadaist/discordian/situationist prank which took the form of a musical act, everything they did was bizarre. The police car that appears in the music video for Doctorin' The Tardis was know as Ford Timelord AKA The JAMSmobile and was credited as the creator of the song on the record sleeve, and when a TV show asked for an interview about the song they sent the car to the studio and had a producer hide under a blanket in the back seat so it could "answer" the interview questions

That's just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to KLF weirdness

I'm actually a big adherent of the KLF but it amuses me that their biggest hit is a novelty song. Very fitting though.

That's the best one by far since it was deliberately written to enrage racist skinheads (and obviously by my username, I'm biased).

But some of the early 2-tone stuff is great, it's just ska-punk that mostly blows. Although there's a couple of Reel Big Fish tunes that work.

There was also a small Italian punk band called Beerbong - despite the unpromising name they had one of the most killer drummers in the game and they had some ska songs
