The Show: Walking to the stage like a Bushwhacker

Massive burst of national pride combined with WWF nostalgia at the mention of The Bushwhackers in an Odd Holiday song on today’s playlist.

This could be a fruitful seam to mine. So here’s hoping for a Big Boss Man eulogy by bar italia sometime in the near future.

And on with the show…

The Show: Spearmint gum and neat vodka? YEAH! That’ll be great?!

It has been a long time since we plundered Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! for The Joint’s commercial breaks, so repurposing the “definitely not fake ads for fake products” from Office Hours Live on Tim Heidecker’s YouTube channel seems way overdue.

Let’s go full YouTube wormhole and recommend Are Sounds Electrik, especially when they cut up old film footage to create their own promo videos.

A recent favourite of ours is a 1982 single from Ignatius Jones (in today’s playlist) synced with footage from the 1944 film Don’t Take It To Heart .

Only 38 years passed between the release of the movie and the song but it’s now been more than 40 years since the song came out.

Make of that what you will.

And on with the show…
