Re: Any other pop culture references?
 

Thinking of sounds in particular, and this may have been mooted years ago before I was a Dirt, but I have this theory about the kind of yappy noise in the "chorus" bit of King of Snake - I can't describe it any other way.

At the time, those horrible little grey plastic "cyberdogs" called Textra were the toy all boys wanted for Christmas. Someone with a sick sense of humour bought one for my little 'un at the time. And they emitted this horrible electronic yap, which I am still convinced was sampled for that bit of the track. I may be totally wrong, but that is what I think of every time I hear it.

There is one of those horrible things for sale on eBay, btw... ;)

i had that single before i ever saw akira and i remember the first time i watched akira i shot straight up out of my char as soon as i heard those sounds. i bolted into the other room and it took me about 6 minutes to track down the exact track where it appeared. it was this big "AH HA!" moment.

that's probably not the pop culture reference you think it is. i'll give you a hint, it's slang but it's not a reference to the cartoon.

I've heard Rick say on one of the Radio shows that his favorite cartoon is Tom and Jerry.

Re: Any other pop culture references?
 

mine too. but that doesn't make the cartoon a drinking/pub crawling reference that's used in common slang.

Re: Any other pop culture references?
 

true! you know, I don't think I ever really read the lyrics to KoS. I just always assumed that, becasuse of his cartoon reference, that was what he was talking about.
