With the exception of the fabled Premium Gold compilation that the Tubes.com webmaster can't verify, the only place I know of its existence was on the "Sports Fans" single. My buddy Seth's dad is a massive Tubes fan, and Seth did me off a copy.
Thanks for posting. This song never made it to the record store because it was a radio promotion song for the movie only. Stupid contract fucked us out of this awesome song. Glad you found it somehow!!!!
Fuck this movie. I happen to be a guy in Ballet and the scene in this movie where he beats the shit out of a male dancer and blows his balls up is a disgrace to guys in Ballet everywhere.
HOLY COWABUNGA THIS IS THE SHIZNICKLE ....TOTALLY AWESOME!!! WOW and i thought i had all the lost classics!!! How could i forget this sweet track/ movie!!! Wow what a way back flash back this is!! Thanks for this post mang!!!
@randy0987 Yes, it was a Lancia,,, Not the more desirable Scorpion, like used in "Herbie Goes To Monte-Carlo", but still a Lancia. And probably completely rusted-away by now, like many lower-price cars from that era & area of origin did, sadly....
Super Tight!!!! neva new who did this song. all i know is moms had it on VHS and i popped it in, FF it to the end just to listen to this song. u are most excellent for posting this, big dogg!!
@fkuaso i have it on my ipod. you can find it on Limewire if you try. i hate to suggest downloading for free, but its the only friggin place i could find it...
I love Chevy Chase...he has old fashion jokes in some of his movies that only a few people actually get. >.> I guess you have to be from the 80's or older...
The first R rated flick I was allowed to watch and I remember our local rock station actually played this song;I thought this was the tubes best song;ironic it was a soundtrack song haha.Thank you so much for the post!
wow! forgot about this movie! where can i watch the whole thing? anyone? hello?! .......hello?...................well, anyway, love the movie and clip!! thanks!!
"Modern Problems" is without a doubt Chevy Chase's worst movie, and my family always razzes me about liking this movie as a kid just because Chevy was in it. Still, if you enjoy seeing Chevy acting bad, it can be watchable. Can you imagine downloading the theme from "Modern Problems" on your iPod for a laugh?
Modern Problems was bad but Under The Rainbow and Oh Heavenly Dog were worse in my opinion. Not to mention some really awful films he made in the 2000s.
This song was only made available on a Capitol release 45 rpm. It was released to radio stations and was intended to coincide with the movie's release. Tubes were quite an act to follow back in the day. They used elaborate costuumes and gave up one hell of a performance live.
@hamletms True, it wasn't that good... But, it had it's moments.And having saw it twice now... in the past few years... I can see now why the promotion campaign included a full-page ad in Boys-Life Magazine. Probably would have never noticed it, or even bothered to see it otherwise all these years later, when I'm able to appreciate the nature of it's nuances & humor.
@ladyamerias I just bootlegged a copy from on-demand programming via DVD-recorder awhile back... Made good viewing while waiting on a friend's doctor appointment on my porta-player!
I think the reason for this song being so hard to find is because of the publishing rights. The song was written by the movie soundtrack author(Not The Tubes).
The CD version is impossible to find. It could be the Premium Gold Collection was pulled because of this songs rights. I have the full length stereo version that I transferred from the single that was released in 1981, if anyone wants it.
ALRIGHT!!! I knew I wasn`t the only one that thinks this song rocks!
VERY TRUE, can never find this song!!!!
When I was young I used to put my tape recorder near the t.v. and record this song off the movie!!!! THANKS FOR THIS HIGH QUALITY RECORDING and video!!!!!
@sassybear1000 YES!! I had looked pretty long for this song, and finally found it on a P2P program. Apparently it has never been released on CD. Supposedly, though, it was put on a gold hits Tubes CD, but I can't even find it on the internet!
@sassybear1000 oh my god, i did too! i was a great recording artist as a kid with my cassette recorder! my favorite other song was the closing song for wkrp in cinncinnatti
For some reason, The Tubes have made this song very difficult to get to. You'll find it on The Tubes: Premium Gold Collection...but good luck finding that as it's been discontinued. Perhaps finding the Modern Problems soundtrack is easier. I'm sure there's an mp3 floating around somewhere.
YYYEEEEESSSSSSS!!! OH-OH-HA-HAAA I LIKE IT!
