I requested this last time HELMET came to Gainesville and Paige laughed at me. But you know what? I'm totally gonna request it again when they come back in October!
This cover is actually a great Helmet song. Sat Morn Cartoons Greatest Hits was a cool record. Shoulda got the Dickies, they already did Gigntor and Bannana Splits...
@Nakor420ish I checked. I do, in fact, have it. Back then I never knew who the artists were. I was surprised to see names like Matthew Sweet, Sublime, and the Ramones.
I subscribe to both Netflix and Blockbuster online. So this is not a random NF bashing post. But Blockbuster Online has real customer service you can email. Only reason I'm saying this is to encourage fans, even if you don't do BB online, to write into them and express how much you miss Retro toons like this and that it would be cool if they would get more in their inventory. Don't worry about telling them if you're a subscriber, just write in. Then one place will notice the other and follow.
I always thought the kid in Gigantor with the remote control was the same kid as Dondi. I was very young in those days. You can tell how old I am now if I know who Dondi was.
@bestwattman get audacity, switch recording to the mixer and record. you can't get the vid, but u can export as wav n mp3 so u can put it on ur ipod or what have you
As far as I can tell, the album this cover is from - Saturday Morning: Cartoons' Greatest Hits - had an hour-long special with Drew. Presumedably, this is part of that special.
i like the way they aren't being ironic like every other band that would do this being ironic is really starting to piss me off i mean for once in your life indie fags (not idrected at the people in this video) try to be sincere and show what you're feeling pretentious faggots but anyway this feels sincere which is nice
agreed, you know that freak who sang ironic the song, no idea what her name is but i always thought, nothing in your song is ironic but the irony that there is no rony in the song but the irony that the song contans no irony yet is called ironic which makes it ironic it has no irony in the song ahhhh brain melter, HELMET OWN!
I still have the Saturday Morning Cartoons'Greatest Hits cassette tape lol. Bought it because it had this song. Shortly after, I went hunting for Helmet's other albums at local record stores.
Helmet came to my town gainesville fl. and page was taking requests, all he asked is that you know the correct name of the song, and that you request one they hadnt played yet. I yelled out GIGANTOR and he laughed. lol. He did play tic for me though.
wow. ive been a helmet fan since 02 and i just read about this song on wikipedia for the 1st time, cool song from when this band where still kicking ass, new helmet is just not the same
still this is further proof that music in the 90s was the shit

I never said Helmet sucked you inbred pus head. I said this version sucked compared to the Dickies version. Try to finish the third grade and then maybe you will have something to say.

I love Helmet, and I hate to say it, but a Japanese band by the name of Mach Pelican,(who used to live and play in Australia) do a far better version. Check it out!
awesome cover!! Helmet sure rocks!! All the "Saturday Morning Cartoon gratest hits" album was very cool with sublime, butthole surfers, ramones....thanks for posting!!
im a bit young, though grouse to see this and other rare Helmet pieces comin out of the works. was gigantor a movie, series or somethin? let me know. cheers.
WOW i never knew there was a video for this. i remember when this came out for the Saturday Morning comp in '95. Kick-ass, thanks a ton for posting!!!
