The Thrilla from Manila, um, no, Cebu

Posted on by

Someone over at YouTube claims that these fellows have too much time on their hands. Well, given that they’re in PRISON, I’d say uh, yeah, dumbass. Nonetheless, it almost makes doing your time worthwhile to participate in a balding-trannie-accented musical reenactment of one of Michael Jackson’s greatest hits.

1,500 plus CPDRC inmates of the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center, Cebu, Philippines at practice! This is not the final routine, and definitely not a punishment! just a teaser.

There are no words for this…at least, none in English. Indeed, Bjork is obviously not the only kooky musical Icelander. This may not make Paul Oscar a global superstar, but whatever. It doesn’t matter. He’s still got his poetry.

kill the wabbit: the heavy metal version

Not much going on visually in this vid, but then if you’re really getting into the spirit of the thing what would you care/how would you know, because of course you’d be headbanging yourself and unable to focus, let alone read. It’s neither Metallica nor Megadeth, it’s some band you never heard of; their lead singer sounds like Elmer Fudd, so is it any wonder you’ve never heard of them? He’s Ozzy Fudd, Mark McCollum, if you must know.

From the Department of Useless Trivia, which is, naturellement, the most crucial department in the whole of raincoasterbloglandia, comes the stunning news that the great Loony Tune known as “What’s Opera, Doc” is fifty ears years old this week.

quiz: what song should you strip to

Posted on by

Yep, another scary-accurate one. Man, the guy who writes these must be psychic, eh?


Your Stripper Song Is

Closer by Nine Inch Nails

“You let me violate you, you let me desecrate you

You let me penetrate you, you let me complicate you

Help me I broke apart my insides, help me I’ve got no

Soul to tell”

When you dance, it’s a little scary – and a lot sexy.

What Song Should You Strip To?
