Cool recording from some sort of old? Vinyl for checking a stereo setup for speaker phasing and stereo separation. Always gets em’ at parties…

Invasion of the Dragonmen

02:11

"Earthpeople - hear me and hear me well! I, Draco, King of the Dragonmen, master of the heavens, from this moment in shall rule over Planet Earth. Your fate is sealed!"

Aaron Kidd (arkidd@hotmail.com) sez: The "Invasion of the Dragonmen" samples come from a 12" Spiderman story telling album titled, um, er, ah, "Invasion of the Dragonmen". I saw the album at a thrift shop and bought just to see if it was what I thought it was. It is. I could tell you how Peter parker (aka Spiderman) finally conquered Draco, but I can't remember...oh well.

"I go to Indianapolis every year, to see the Indy 500. I go there with friends that drive and race. Every year when they go there to qualify, they usually have to go as fast as they possibly can to get a front-row position. They put nitro in their cars sometimes instead of the fuel that's intended to be in the cars, so that the cars will go faster... and they do, for 5 or 10 laps. and then they blow all to hell."

Leslie (VenusSFT@aol.com) sez: This... is by Evil Knievil (sp?). It's part of a speech he did every time he performed his ceerraaaazzzy stunts, ya know, warning the kids at home to be safe and such."

"Paul, did you hear that?"
"Hear what? I don't hear anything unusual."
"A sort of strange haunting music, it's been coming in on an interstellar frequency, softly intermittent, but at regular intervals, as though it were a message, perhaps a call for help."

Sounds like an old Jon and the Nightriders tune.

"Madame President, and fellow members: I feel that we girls have all been chased for years by the wrong men. Now it's our chance to chase the right men. Let's pick out what we want, and go after it!"

Leslie (VenusSFT@aol.com) sez: "A man chases a girl...until she catches him..." I believe this is from a Marylin Monroe movie. I don't remember the name of it, but I do recall Marilyn and some man discussing this idea and proceeding to do a little song and dance number about it around a large fountain.

"I always wanted to be a top-secret agent. Code name: Mozart. Y'know - make it through Checkpoint Charlie by the skin of my teeth."

Bubba Zannetti (bubba_zanetti@anti-social.com) believes that it's from a late 1980s TV commercial for Encyclopaedia Brittanica starring Marc Price (Skippy from "Family Ties").

However, Farley Hatcher (hamustro@hotmail.com) says: "The thing that stuck out was of course that clip from the classically annoying 1989/1990 Encyclopaedia Brittanica commercial, which DID NOT have the actor who played SKIPPY on FAMILY TIES. I remember the guy, in glasses and blonde hair, but it was not him. Just wanted to clarify that."

"Since Biblical times, Man has witnessed and recorded strange manifestations in the sky... and speculated on the possibility of ...Visitors ... from another world."
"Today, from the skies of California, the fields of Kansas, the rice paddies of the Orient, the air lanes of the world, come persistent reports of UFOs, unidentified flying objects that we have come to know... as flying saucers." Earth vs. the Flying Saucers, Columbia, 1956

But many other excellent clips that are from other currently unknown sources.
