Does anyone remember/can find an old spoofed car commercial video hyping up some rust-bucket shitbox? Key phrases included things like "...Bench seats, STANDARD. 42 Horsepower, STANDARD! Not one, but TWO cupholders!" etc. Can't remember much about it apart from that, even the make or model of the car. This was probably as much as a decade ago, and googling and youtubing haven't been successful.

It was a part of my friends' lexicon anytime one of us started talking about our (shitbox) cars, and none of us can remember it or find it. If it makes a difference, this is what reminded me of it: http://www.roadandtrack.com/go/car-culture/video-photos-nissan-completes-restoration-of-craigslist-1996-maxima?src=soc_fcbks

Is this it?

Looking for a video - it's a loop that starts with a wife/mom from like the 1950s in the kitchen, then people are at the store, walking down the street, etc. But it gets more and more hosed up (the music too) with each successive loop. As you can imagine, I'm having a hard time googling something like this.

Not a perfect match, but perhaps in the same genre -- a seriously hosed up 1950s-style movie intermission cartoon.

Crossposting this from the Godzilla thread in CineD:

I'm looking for a song about Godzilla that I think was performed on television during a comedy show like SNL. In it, Godzilla has kind of a midlife crisis and keeps saying it's been a hell of a year. It's old, perhaps from the 80's, and for some reason I keep thinking Bill Murray was involved somehow (though that probably isn't the case). I also think the last line was about an affair with an inguana, if I remember correctly.

I've been trying like crazy to find this song, because it's been driving me up the walls. I think I might have seen it first in the 2014 Godzilla thread around here, so I was wondering if some other goon might recognize what I'm talking about here.

"1980s monster movie parody song" immediately makes me think Svengoolie -- he's a horror movie host who's been on the air in Chicago for like forty years. And I guess he's even kinda Bill Murray-ish if you squint. A quick search on youtube gives like five or six Godzilla songs he's done over the decades. None of them seem to be the one you're describing, but maybe you can at least recognize if this is the right guy or not.
