No Muppets no credibility. That said, the dancing syncs up well.

I always thought they would look cooler than that.

The banjo's undermic'ed.

The joke became tired after about five seconds :(

Yeah, but what if it was THE PEANUTS dancing to OUTKAST????

Not really much of a stretch from this:

How much do you think Lydon hates those kids in the audience? With the fire of a thousand suns?

― polyphonic (polyphonic), Friday, 7 April 2006 16:56 (twenty years ago)

I think Dick must have paid the people in the audience to clap. Either that or they're wearing hidden earphones and listening to the O'Jays.

But less than he hates Keith Levene I imagine

Said it before, will say it again -- if Mark David Chapman had stalked John Lydon instead of John Lennon in December 1980, the latter would be a dull boring burnout nobody would care about much and the former would have become the rock martyr of martyrs. (Especially since his recorded legacy would have consisted solely of the Pistols and the first two PiL albums.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 7 April 2006 17:02 (twenty years ago)

But John isn't a dull boring burnout nobody

This man would agree with you, Ned.

Whoops, I didn't mean to post that in that form!

― Dadaismus (Dada), Friday, 7 April 2006 17:05 (twenty years ago)

Heheheh.

Mark David Chapman had stalked John Lydon instead of John Lennon in December 1980, the latter would be a dull boring burnout nobody would care about much

Actually, the Beatles would have probably reformed for a concert tour in the mid-90's and made a zillion billion (more) dollars, rescuing Lennon from burnout status a la mid-90's Brian Wilson.

Then would Paul Cook have been the conductor on Shining Time Station?

― Huk-L (Huk-L), Friday, 7 April 2006 17:19 (twenty years ago)

I'm all for that idea. (Huk's not Barry's.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Friday, 7 April 2006 17:24 (twenty years ago)

Hmm...I think Ned's theory may have some merit.

― Porcupine Kiss, Novacaine Lips (Bimble...), Friday, 7 April 2006 17:50 (twenty years ago)

Lennon would probably be on his eighteenth comeback by now. Discarded and championed in equal measures, in alternating year-and-a-half periods.

hey! let's debate the Beatles!

C/D?

― jinx hijinks (sanskrit), Friday, 7 April 2006 20:26 (twenty years ago)

can we instead make up a modern-day traveling wilburys w/ john lydon pls

― A|ex P@reene (Pareene), Friday, 7 April 2006 20:35 (twenty years ago)

That's a nice idea. John Lydon - vox/tambourine, Mike Watt - bass, David Byrne - guitar 1, John McLaughlin - guitar 2, Chris Cutler - drums

― eek, Friday, 7 April 2006 21:14 (twenty years ago)

What VU song was that?

― honest alamo, Monday, 10 April 2006 01:47 (twenty years ago)

it was sister ray

― Good Dog (Good Dog), Monday, 10 April 2006 07:30 (twenty years ago)
