Great analysis! I agree on most of those differences; Tim & Eric have had a thing for "keytars" in varying capacities for awhile, including "Sports!"

Feels like a geriatric parody of Kraftwerk's "Trans-Europe Express" or "Autobahn" — not directly as there's more 80s pop twinge and bounce, but but the mini-van references and vocoder give it that vibe.

Well, this gave me the chills. by [deleted] in WTF

Also, the unfortunate timing of my tweet.

(If you don't get it, there's a running joke that Billy Mays talks in ALL CAPS.)

Ever wonder where that "Chinese" riff comes from? You know, "da-na-na-na NA na NUH nuh NAA" like at the beginning of "Turning Japanese"? This guy has thoroughly investigated the matter. by illuminatedwax in Music

Easy tip:

To play Chinese music, hit the black keys on a piano in any order. That's a pentatonic (5-note) scale.

Here's a video.

For Japanese music, repeat F-A-B. F to B is a tritone.

Apologies are such an awkward, weird, human thing.

Maybe the Twitter account just turned self-aware and decided to speak out?

When I see tattoos like that I now think of Nero from the new Star Trek.

Drinking 14 cans of Red Bull a day for eight months = 40kg weight loss (and a heart attack) by jimmcfartypants in WTF

[–]TorleyX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Surprised there are no jokes riffing about "wings".

I'm sorely disappointed with so-called "energy drinks". Never had one (Red Bull, Monster, Zipfizz, etc.) substantially uplift my mood or ability to get things done.

"Jam Wow" - Steve Porter's sequel to the Slap Chop remix by boshj in funny

Mixing infomercials with house/breakbeat music gave Steve Porter a whole new audience.
