Whew, finally caught up again... here come some solutions and some un-solutions!

SimonCat posted:

Mine is some 70s euro-trash that was on Cinemax/Showtime in the mid to early 90s that I watched on a "scrambled" channel on Friday night. Two things I remember, one was a guy having sex with a girl in the upstairs bedroom of a row house, while her dad banged on the wall shared by the neighbor's, an elderly couple, and that they should be ashamed of themselves at their age.

In the same movie, the guy has to negotiate a business deal with a woman, so she had two other women give him a full, naked sexual massage and then states the percentage rate of their business deal will be determined by how many times he makes her come. 3% a time, but he's a stud and gets up to 9% at least before they're done and she says "you're ruining me."
I was a little too young for these kinds of memories but as a result I had a more detached clinical approach to the times my older friends secretly turned the television on late at night at sleepovers, and what instantly comes to mind is "Has Anybody Seen My Pants?" which I still remember being described as "a zippy Bavarian sex comedy" in the Cinemax guide, and definitely had some "upstairs in a row house with elderly people somehow involved" scene(s).

Though if this is totally wrong, it might just be that it is one of the other movies functionally just like this in the, I am delighted to learn has a name, Bavarian Porn subgenre. Hard to imagine "disapproving elderlies" would be an uncommon sex comedy theme

I also remember a series of gum in mini cartons like these:

DAMMIT WHY DID YOU REMIND ME OF MY BELOVED APPLE JUICE BUBBLE GUM ONCE I FINALLY FORGOT ABOUT IT do they still make this? Ugh who cares, I feel like it tasted different the last time I found it 20 years ago, but was that just my childhood slipping away or did it really change?!?


ANYWAY I finally realized I do have some white whales. One is something that really seems like it should be findable, as it was on some (legit) techno compilation a friend let me borrow; I liked the song so much I made a mix tape of JUST THAT SONG to play whenever that friend was over. The song was clearly called "KINGS" as that is what I wrote all over both sides of the tape, and the only part I remember now years after losing the tape is the chorus, where a guy who sounds completely insane says, in sort of a "they're coming to take me away, ha-ha" sing-songy style:

* "All of US! All of YOU! YOU'RE KINGS! EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU!" and then an, I guess for lack of better term, generic Egyptian melody plays out, like something you expect to hear in a cartoon if they are entering a pyramid or maybe charming a snake, and then back to whatever the verse was, including lots of chopped samples of a woman going "uh-uh uh uh-uhhh uhuh-uhhhh." Best sentence ever

And two others dating back to a period a local college radio station was doing an automated summer session playlist on loop (this was summer 2004) and I kept hearing the same songs nobody seemed to recognize for a couple of months; two songs whose lyrics I am 99% sure are accurate, as I heard each of them playing several times and the vocals were fairly clear, but Googling those phrases still produces nothing 15 years later:

* "You can't cover up white walls" (shouted, particularly WHITE WAAALLLLS!, by an angsty lady vocalist, and this is absolutely all I can remember of the song other than that it was standard distorted guitar rock)

* "I'm the angel of death ... in disguise; I'm in pursuit ... of all the young guys; they say I'm the worst; you're not the last, and you're definitely not the first" spoken, but in rhythm to the music, and definitely also sing-songy and not rap-like at all; backing music was somewhat minimal and somewhat eclectically electronic

For a while I thought every one of the mystery tracks being played might be a local band, but the last time I went searching I finally found a third song, belonging to an indie band from Sweden, so ... maybe the other bands are Swedish too? Here is that one just for time/space placement if nothing else

For a long time I wondered why I had such fond memories of Spartakus and the Sun Beneath the Sea but then basically no memories of things like, you know, the plot, or those pirates. I eventually realized that Spartakus came on Nickelodeon just as I was finished eating breakfast in the morning, so I probably used to watch the intro for the awesome music and then run out the door to walk to school. And just made up what the show must have been like. Nice

Just thought of something far easier than the absolute insanely impossible requests I posted earlier in the thread: a Nintendo 64 commercial featuring a (bald? middle-aged?) dude on a couch in a dark room trash-talking his silent buddy sitting next to him as they play different games. The only line I remember, and indeed the sentence I will probably have come to mind on my deathbed, is the guy excitedly yelling "WCW VERSUS NWO VERSUS GARY, ON HIS KNEES, BEGGING AND PLEADING!" in, obviously, the segment of the commercial promoting WCW VS. NWO (either The World or Revenge, not sure).

I think that one commercial may have even been part of a series, considering the closest I came to this video in occasional searches was one of someone trash-talking "Gary" over Nintendo 64 games, but that was not the right commercial at all (either that or that was just a shorter version of the same commercial).

I suddenly remembered a white whale I had for years that might actually be workable

My friends and I once worked ourselves into convulsions imagining an alarm clock that was a voice clip of Vince McMahon yelling "get up! Get up, you son of a bitch, get up!" and we were SO SURE we could find clips of him saying those things, but all our efforts came close but never quite there.

It is not hard to find him saying "you son of a bitch," but we never could find him saying "get up" which, well, was kind of crucial to the entire thing.

Also VideoTapir, I imagine you already asked your parents (if possible) about the origin of the map, but my unexpected take on it is that lacquering something onto plywood to me screams "1970s homemade folk art of popular fantasy property."

There was a music video from the band Of Verona called "Stay Gold" that was a lady walking her dog on Venice Beach in Los Angeles. You never saw her face and the video was mostly looking at the dog. I think it was sometime between 2010-2015. Recently went searching for it and it's scrubbed clean from the internet.
I feel for your search, though you would surely think something of this recent vintage must be in someone video-collecting jerk's torrent stash?

I was reminded by this post of the only time I have ever been stymied trying to find a video: 2NU's "This Is Ponderous" video. It apparently only hit #46 on the Top 100 in 1990, but far less successful songs than this are available online. If you do a quick Google to find this, I assure you it is some random idiot making their own video in lieu of being able to find the original. If you know of some like obscure retro indie video site, then O.K., feel free to suggest it, but it is certainly none of the ones you can find on YouTube or even DailyMotion.

I am also sure the video is 1/100th as cool as I remember, but you know how it goes with videos you loved as a young child in an era before there was any guarantee you would ever be able to see the video again (and in this case that last time really may have been the last time :smith:).
