The first time I saw this was on AL TV. This is now the 2nd time I have seen it. Thanks for the post!

[basaintl]

I always loved the DQ story. Thanks!

[ramtha9]

This guy was on MTV a lot, back in the day. I looked for this on the "Tube forever! Thanks to Wickedclowns25 for bringing this tasty tidbit back to the video table!

[Hammerhead451]

I remember this. I saw it on a Doctor Demento MTV show. I had it on tape but it was lost years ago. Great to see it again. VHS, DVD...either way, ITS FINE WITH ME!!

[rsthebestbandever]

[davebo357]

Wow, I haven't seen this since it aired.

[LUVMEN21]

GOD i love this song!!! and i miss this GUY!!

[madrobo]

I recorded this back in the 80's and would sit there in front of the TV and watch it repeatedly. Last night I bought the LP "Born to be tiled" from eBay. There was one more left if anyone wants it. Thank you WickedClowns25!

[joelabongo]

Hey there Madrobo,

I'm looking for the song by Randee of The Redwoods - Either Way It's Fine With Me. Is on the LP Born to be tiled? If it is, could you please let me know how I can buy it or whether you can share it with me?

Thanks and Happy Holidays.

J.

[madrobo]

Yes, I have the LP and the vinyl is in new condition if you want it. Send me your e-mail address and we could work out a deal.

[ratpickle]

I Really like this guy a lot. NOT !!!!

I thought this character was hilarious.

[ramtha9]

I remember this was on Mtv all the time, in the day. Thanks to WickedClowns25 for finally getting this on the 'Tube! You friggin' rock, dude! But if you hadn't, either way is fine with me. All kidding aside, Thank you...

[Bergodin]

Does anyone remember the MTV promo where Death comes to take the guy away? He rings the door bell and the guy answers. He says, "But, I'm watching MTV. Can you come back when it's over?" The Grim Reaper says, "OK."

Anyone know where I can find that video?

[LUVMEN21]

i remember it, but i don't know where to find the video. sorry

[soupercoolguy]

Barley remember, who knows.

[SpreadingtheMuse]

Just about thought I'd never see this again.

[pennvan]

Finally! Thank you to whomever posted this video. I've been looking for it for nearly 10 years! Loved it from college.

[MetallicBill]

I also remember even more from this character!!

[SirHatchporch]

Yes! I actually met Jim Turner a year or two ago after he opened for for someone at the Largo. I got a picture with him and had a conversation with him about some of his old characters. Nice guy but unusually quiet.

[isaacallin]

bring back randy

[dinettex]

Randee, with two E's, like the river. Randee of the redwoods.

[signguy44]

This is too great, long live Youtube, Since I've been a member, I hoped someone would post this tuff after seeing a miniscule brief Randy sighting on my old Mtv music video tapes.

Great great post, thank you

[magickmatt138]

Randee of the Redwoods was the first collective "F" you my generation made to the Baby Boomers.

[rurounikjs]

Dude, it was boomers who CREATED Randee. "Our" generation was still in high school and college...definitely not in the decision-making circles, even in MTV.

(I'm assuming you're under 45 years old, magickmatt...)

[SirHatchporch]

Randee was the creation of comedian Jim Turner, who was in his 30s at the time. The character was around before he landed on MTV.

[melvins1]

man, this song saved my life!

founded in Iowa City, Iowa 1975

long live Duck's Breath!

I saw a person walking around just kicking dirt; I saw two people playing with guns and one of them got hurt; I saw three people they were sharing electric energy; I saw four people they were changing their priorities, feels like woodstock again, feels like woodstock again.
