That's Bill Paxton, who directed the video. He told the band he was going to get it on Saturday Night Live, they didn't believe him. A week or two later, it was on Saturday Night Live. It is the only video that was played a second time (the following week) on the show.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
ty op you provide a valuable service.




i never would have even knew who this guy was

The other half of the band (who is still alive) is Bill Mumy, who played Will Robinson in the original 1965 Lost in Space.

I'm bummed about this. B&B were just a couple of proto-goons making pretty creative and fairly stupid music in their bedrooms and getting a decent amount of fame and groupies from it, and if that ain't the dream I don't know what is. And "Fish Heads" was solid comedy gold to my pudding-nosed idiot 14-year-old self.

Also maybe because this guy was active on social media up until a couple of weeks ago, just being a semi-entertaining dork, then he went quiet suddenly, and whoops he's loving dead. When you get to a certain age it seems like everyone you grew up with could cop it at any time, and it's not a good feeling.

Anyway, sucks that he's gone, but I guess ya gotta go sometime. So long funny music man, I'll murder a few brain cells with your dumb crap in your honor.

:qq: I LOVE TWO AND HALF MEN!! YOU 20 SOMETHINGS ARE JUST TOO CYNICAL TO UNDERSTAND IT!!:qq:
they probably wouldn't admit it but I think Ween and TMBG, back when they were 2 weird dudes with a tape recorder, owed a lot to these guys. they were so good at doing tunes that were dumb as poo poo. "Clip Clop" from the first album always makes me laugh. they had plenty of great tunes beyond their first 2 albums too. also I am pretty sure this is the only time the actual artist has commented on my album review blog (his comment was something like "nice review, but you're less accurate than Wikipedia"...LOL)

There was a Kickstarter way back in 2013 to film a documentary about Dr. Demento (Barry Hansen) that raised $100k but it looks like nothing came of it which is sad. It was supposed to be called "Under the smogberry trees".

I would stay up to listen to Dr. Demento as a kid and think to myself "This is the music cool people listen to."

I think the fact that I was one of those Mongo-sized kids is all that kept me from being led to a remote culvert and beaten to death by bullies driven mad by dork pheromones.
