mst3k - 1007 - track of the moon beast 5/10

[sillygoose544]

I like how the moon beast guy is otherwise 100% nondescript.

[krazytyme]

Drinking, drugs, womanizing, gambling, tax fraud, alcoholic coma, blood replacement--The Band That Played California Lady sure lived it up :)

[NeverDoubt1]

@krazytyme That was a brilliant satire on Behind the Music type shows, lol.

[Daelock]

THAT is a fair Sam Elliot impression.

[Kendorager]

Johnny made everything himself, his clothes, his car, his bow. He made them out of cotton...wool...fiberglass...

[priceman141]

This is one of my favorite MST3K host segments

[SAGEBOT500]

You know your film is cheap when you're reduced to filming a picture of the Moon.

[PaperbackWizard]

That's it. I'm forming a band called "The Band That Played 'California Lady'". I can't play guitar, I don't have any friends that can either, but I don't care. I'm puttin' the band together! See y'all on VH1.

[Harveygod]

@PaperbackWizard "Se y'all on VH1."  Why? Are you going to be dating Flava Flav too?

[livinintwilightzone]

@PaperbackWizard It's been 5 months, how goes it?!

[fdragon010]

@PaperbackWizard So that'd make your stage name "The Fish Lipped Guy"?

[emcee89]

Lol, "The Band That Played California Lady". Best host segment evar.

[ChaoticYak]

I can't get enough of him sick and sweaty in bed.

[pretorious700]

What exactly IS "womanizing"? Making stuff frilly and pink? I don't get it.

[angrypizzagirl]

@pretorious700 It can mean that but usually, and in this case in particular, it means using women strictly for sex.

[pretorious700]

@angrypizzagirl so it's not like "Martinizing"?

[angrypizzagirl]

@pretorious700 Lol. Now I'm confused.  What is "Martinizing"?

[pretorious700]

@angrypizzagirl Sorry, I was pulling your leg. I liked the very serious way you enlightened me on "womanizing". My first post was a poor attempt at sarcasm.

"Martinizing" is a dry cleaning technique developed in the 40's by a company of the same name.

[blastingcaps]

@pretorious700 Womanizing, is the only way to deal with women. Any other approach just leads to horrible outcomes like marriage and being quiet..just because most of the time its just easier than listening to her try to make sense.

[pretorious700]

@blastingcaps lol, I like the way you think

[changyimei]

"I get enough shots of him sick and sweaty in bed."

"When did we switch to Realtor's walk through view?" As a former Real Estate agent that's funny ;P

[vladdytrout]

"...the tragic story behind the band that played "California Lady" began as a duo with the fish-lipped guy and the Eskimo"

Classic

[mariechaton]

"And now, from all of us here at 'Track of the Moonbeast", good night." for some reason i always lmao at this!

[ironychan]

"How to Make Things Pinker"...

[leandra620]

So he's a were lizard...wow...

[critic2o5]

I think Katy Perry might have ripped off california ladies.

[Gigrantula58]

Johnny Longbow, Johnny Longbow, it's the Johnny Longbow scene.

[TitusYorick]

You know, call me crazy (or an idiot), but I kind of like that "California Lady" song.

[Gr8fulElegy]

haha, the part about the history of the california lady band was awesome...FISH LIPS

[pretorious700]

I hate the fish lipped guy almost as much as Don Henley

[abmstie]

Why do men think VPL is sexy?

[cuttock]

@abmstie

It's a hint, a tease.

[abmstie]

@cuttock Oh. Ok, I guess.

[MarnieReeves]

@abmstie I wish I knew. To be honest, I wasn't even aware of that abbreviation/clothing syndrome until my little 10-year-old (!!) brother mentioned it years ago when we were out shopping. The tiny squirt giggled that naughty laugh of young boys who've glimpsed something forbidden and pointed out a svelte 20-something in skin-tight jeans and told me "You can see her VPL!"

[singinglawnchair]

"It was a hopeful sign when the friendly-looking backup singer checked into a rehab center to have her blood replaced..."

[SinnFein4ever]

4:40

Hey! They ripped that scene off of Ernest Goes To Camp!

;)

[pretorious700]

I hate people who have to shake hands every time they see you.

[ChaoticYak]

Uh... Hello? Are we invited to your movie?

[desimay88]

Paul:"You should see Johnny work with a bow"

All: "Woah"

Chick: "come on Johnny Longbow i'd like to see you liveu p to your name"

Cervo: "hiyo get the kids out of the room"

lol fantastic

[desimay88]

Johnny, Johnny Longbow

John, Johnny Longbow

It's the Johnny Longbow

Johnny Longbow Theme XD i love it

[corle1]

Mike sounds like Sam Elliot @ 2:22

[dEsSiCaTa]

Califooooornyun GRAAAAAAAAVEY add some flavar to ma meat

[pretorious700]

Lol-a Wet Willie reference!!!!

[Lunarwill]

"Ha! I swiped these from that Indian when he was crying abour the garbage." One of the most memorable PSAs ever produced.

[Trancemaster2052]

And now from all of us at Track of the Moon Beast... good night.

[tobybirdmann]

the band that played california lady

[ChaoticYak]

Every time the blonde says "Paul" I think, "You is a wurwilf!"

[UncontrollableEnergy]

"Hey he's got his own confessional."

Spoken in the calm, witty way that only Mike could!

[porknbeans1977]

"Everything is authentic Indian."

Did anyone else wince when he said that?

Epic host segment - all those type shows sound *exactly* like that!

"You could tuck several more Pauls into those pajamas."

"But don't."

[KaosRowan]

@porknbeans1977 yeah I noticed "authentic indian" too

[OzzyFan87]

The Man, The Myth, The Legend, Michael J. Nelson.

[stnkfist]

Best host segment ever.

[Adrialgon]

"It's a fallout shelter neighborhood."

[shrews12001]

drinking, drugs, womanizing, gambling, tax fraud...

[NUTCASE71733]

@shrews12001

Bigamy, human trafficking, murder, and getting involved with the production of Twilight.

[shrews12001]

@NUTCASE71733

Failing to properly signal his turns, tearing the tag off his mattress, sodomy, CD pirating, unevenly loading his washing machine.

[NUTCASE71733]

@shrews12001

Dropping his pants, robbing convenience stores, using plenty of lip and tounge action, not looking at railroad crossings, and looking Polish

[shrews12001]

@NUTCASE71733

not being slow and pleasing, not watching out for snakes, not harvesting the walnuts before the uprising, not sucking everything up and blowing everything out like the sheriff, not respecting springs.

[vlcupper]

@shrews12001 awesome

[ChaoticYak]

The tragic story behind The Band that played California Lady.

[dork94596]

8:55 "When did we switch to realtor's walk through point of view?"

[dork94596]

8:15 "Oh look, she's sleeping so pinkfully."

[pretorious700]

Brewer & Shipley---lol!!!

[cattet]

California Laaaaaady. LOL

[HowardTheFrog]

i can't believe how on this guy the chick is

[solemfero]

"Johnny Johnny Longbone

Johnny Johnny Longbone

It's the Johnny Longbone

Johnny Longbone theme."

Oh, the poetry. Is it just me, or does that little theme sound like something you'd hear at a Renaissance fair?

[ngobleus]

@solemfero

Huzzah!

[Badgersprite]

*sings* "Some kind of dinosaur...You're some kind of dinosaur."

[Tareltonlives]

It's some kind of dinosaur

Kind of dinosaur thing!

[RadcliffOfCrymod]

"Come on Johnny Longbow, I'd like to see you live up to your name."

"Ho, get the kids out of the room!"

[butterbagelonroll]

"he has a severe allergy to shirts"

[araminta107]

"Hello, are we invited to your movie?!"

"Goodnight Keith"

"That's right, walk in front of me so I can see the VPL"

[mowque]

The Moon backed out of this movie at the last minute

[seanThree16]

Haha, I almost lost it at "the fish-lipped guys out of control womanizing"

Damn, that fake Behind the Music is so hilarious.

[ManaAdvent]

"Heh heh, I swiped these from that Indian while he was crying about the garbage."

"Thanks for the stereotype music!"

"You kids should clear out. There's gonna be some blood."

"I'm gonna go play some Nine Inch Nails."

"Hm, I wonder how's he dying in there?"

"Some casinos started off on a modest scale."

[seanThree16]

I'm gonna do a quick can opener then go back to bed.

[livinintwilightzone]

I'm sorry, but anthropologists spend their time making arrow heads for their atlalts, NOT for their bows.

[VeryAngryCamel]

lol the tragic story of... "the band that played california lady"

but what was the stew made of?

[uscbrian1]

Man, I wish she'd turn down that book!

[trapadoored]

I wonder if they screened this movie a long time ago and lost the rights or something-and maybe heard the name Johnny Long bow before inventing Johnny Long torso "the man who comes in pieces."  (sorta like Waffely and Coily)

[baronvg]

This "biography" of that band is so damn brutal but so damn funny! haha!

[Gomess]

Dinosaur men from the moon. Of COURSE.

This makes Being From Another Planet's plot look downright engaging and sensible...

[SgtHydra]

And the Trutle Men from Laserblast look original and well thought out.

They stole that entire "OMG! It's a T-Rex!" bit from Gozilla Raids Again.

[johnnui]

its the johnny longbow theme. XD

[GodDamProud2BAtheist]

5:00 If Jesus had been an Indian

[GodDamProud2BAtheist]

Some of the best freakin host segments of the entire series.

[PerryPlanet]

"It's a fallout shelter neighborhood."

"Oh great...I mean, oh great!"

"I'm swimming in a pool!...oh no..."

[angelwings955]

Crow: "When did we switch to Realtor's Walk-through point of view?" haha

[misskittie1313]

He has a severe allergy to shirts.

Sounds like Lurch is playing in the backyard.

When did we change to realtor's walk through point of view?

I'm not shirtless enough, I think I'm going to take off my skin.

ROFL

[pretorious700]

Does anybody really think this lady knows which end of the camera lens to point?

[flandersfails]

"I'm sick AND I'm buff"

[MattChrisF]

"Thanks for the stereotype music."

[Dragmack]

She's got an autographed picture of elvis costello and dean acheson!

[Adrialgon]

I'ts a fallout shelter neighborhood.

it's a hard room to clash with, but she manages, all right.

[Vinya]

"man I wish she'd turn down that book!"

[mowque]

A classic

[Darkiver]

This episode has the best skits.

[raquijada]

what is ia VPL?????

[jodiefostersarmy]

Visible panty lines, man.

Hoo ha.

[hollyhuffstutler]

Visible panty line

[Baldenlong77]

@raquijada

Visible Panty Line

[Tareltonlives]

"Some describe me as a ambulatory mound of suet"

[medenslupus]

He has a SEVERE allergy to shirts.

[vinylrecord68]

You should see Johnny work a bow...

WHOA!!!

[Tareltonlives]

"Get the kids out of here!"

[SeastarMaster]

Why does Johny Longbone have random ears of corn in the back of his wagon?

[DarkWobbuffet]

For his stew of course.

[Tareltonlives]

Where does he put the chicken, chile, green pepper, *sigh* onions....?

[changyimei]

@Tareltonlives Call me crazy but the stew does sound tasty :XD

[Tareltonlives]

@changyimei I'm thinking of making it just so I can list the ingredients

[ironychan]

@Tareltonlives I *did* make it just so I could list the ingredients.

[LBloom36]

I think Mike is doing a twangy voice as a tribute to Levon Helm. When he wasn't busy being the backbeat and voice of The Band he did narrate The Right Stuff in a voice similar to Mike's. I may be wrong, but I think he may have also done some episodes of VH1's Legends which ran concurrently with Behind the Music. Just a thought.

[SeastarMaster]

"When did we switch to realator's walk through point of view?"

[Ryushinku]

"Sounds like Lurch is playing in the back yard."

[htomsirveaux42]

Paul, you is a warwilf!!

[crowtservo]

I once told my girlfriend to always walk in front of me so I could see the VPL....

[zombiepi]

Mike sounds like Sam Elliot, maybe a half octave higher.

[trapadoored]

ok-I have a question-this seems to be a take off of the Behind the Music show that used to be on v-h1 back around when this episode would have been aired-but why is Mike adding a countrty-fied kind of southern twang to his voice? The narrator on that show didn't sound like that! Hilarious concept, but I just don't get the voice he's doing! Was their another behind the music type show that had a voice over guy that sounded like this?

[634devil]

The Fish Lip Guy and Eskimo - sounds like a 70s variety show.

[vlcupper]

I love that they call him The Eskimo.

[Zoso881]

Tom: You could tuck a few more pauls in those pajamas

Crow: Please dont lol

[jrmarrero96]

What a great documentary about the band that played california lady. Hope to see them on their next reunion tour. I still can't find their second album though...

[ShadesofScorpius]

Why is EVERYONE TOUCHING EVERYBODY in this film??!!!

[jodiefostersarmy]

vpl=visible panty line

tee hee

[HayesAJones]

Can we bring the lizard back? His was the best acting out of all the cast.

[Shadowlynk]

@HayesAJones Sadly, he's served his purpose as a vague attempt at a red herring, so it looks like he's gone for good. :(

[Gi3NNARO]

great videoo.!

[Xsublime28xX]

fish lip guy lol

[greydruid]

Hey look, it's Chairy before she gained weight!

[legopat88]

"I'M SWIMMING IN A POOL!!!"

"Oh No"

[Ing213]

Jezz Paul, how about you let Johnny Longbow speak for himself sometime?  Rude much?

[ArgonAvernger]

I like how hes just "the eskimo"

[justy109]

woooo watkin's glenn!

[PantisMantis]

"Hiyooo, get the kids out of the room."

[goodmorningcapt1]

That Brewer and Shipley reference (and accompanying photo) always cracks me up. I just imagine the fish-lipped guy running around, "c'mon guys we have a chance to open for Brewer and Shipley!"

[vlcupper]

I wonder if Fish-lipped Guy knows that video exists about his song. Heh.

[Lank006]

"Heh heh . . . I swiped these from that Indian while he was cryin' about the garbage.  Ha haaa."

[MoJoelRizing]

In the early 90's, I found myself in a supermarket checkout line behind the one & only

IRON EYES CODY. I could not help but notice

that his long black hair/braids was really a

WIG. And it was ASKEW. I guess he'd lost his real hair.

I felt sad. I cried a single tear. True story.

[d0g69s]

"Let's share him." LOL

The blonde reminds me of Barbara Eden.

[susej789]

i wish she'd turn down that book

[dabrotar]

Johnny Johnny Longbow, Johnny, Johnny Longbow, it the Johnny Longbow Scene. 2 funny 4 words

[servo6620]

Goodnight Keith !

[1swede1]

I'm swimming in a pool! Oh no....

[miamihurricanes]

"I want to see you live up to your name!"

Tom- Hiyo, get the kids outta the room!

LOL

[godboy50]

[MoJoelRizing]

"Some casinos started out on a MODEST scale..."

[baddog7676]

"Thanks for the stereotyped music"

How do you feel today Paul? A lot better than yesterday-- "Ah well who cares?"

LMMFAO @ the story behind "The band that played California Lady"

"How to make things pinker"

[mejasond]

7:06. "Look over there, it's Chairy before she gained weight." PEE WEE'S PLAYHOUSE REFERENCE!!!

[RadialSkid]

The "Fish Lips" singer's real name was Frank Larrabee...today he's on the Board of Directors for the national Appaloosa Horse Club (no joke).

[popitpopit149]

I wonder if anyone calls him Fish Lips...

[Tareltonlives]

Ah. That explains it. There IS some resemblance. ;)

[Reelbigearth]

....Did the womanizing work? Or is it horseazing hahahahahahahhah!

Hhahahahahaha *cries*

I HATE MYSELF!

[pretorious700]

@RadialSkid Funny, because in addition to fish lips, he has a pronounced horse face.

[Mrjon314]

That chair does remind me of Chairy!

[lysis28]

"She's sleeping so pinkfully." LOL

[GoblinXXX]

Like the full moon ever 10 minutes in Werewilf? (Not a typo)

[Tareltonlives]

Every time I watched that awful third Harry Potter movie, I am reminded of that, since England was always in a full moon monsoon

[Ritly13]

Lol, the summary of The Band That Played California Lady is pretty much like all of the other bands.

[yuvgotubekidding]

7;23 Goodnight Keith (Moon).

[vlcupper]

I wonder if The Band That Played California Lady has every seen this.

I would love to have a garage band called The Band That Played California Lady. Who wants to be my eskimo?

[GoblinXXX]

I will, but you know the friendly looking back-up singer will just break us up, leading to a downward spiral of drink, drugs, womanizing and out of control gambling.

[antistrunt]

...and tax fraud. Don't forget the tax fraud.

[GoblinXXX]

I intend to focus more heavily on the womanizing and out of control gambling.

[brrrenna]

"When did we switch to 'realtor's walkthrough' point of view?"

[Dagger33]

"I swiped these from that Indian while he was crying about the garbage!"

Ambulatory mound of suet = PIG!
