music from the motion picture WAYNE'S WORLD

I've never heard "Ride With Yourself" by Rhino Bucket but that's my vote

if you've seen the movie you've heard it

wait is it that song they all sing along to at the beginning

you can hear "TAKE A LONG LONG RIDE WITH YOURSELF, DO YA LIKE WHAT YA SEE" in the background when they're driving to Milwaukee

It's so very alllllllllll about Ballroom Blitz IME!

so...Bohemian Rhapsody isn't on the soundtrack?
I may vote for the Tia Carrere ballad.

YA ROCK CANDY BAYBAAAAAY YAH HARD SWEET AN STICKAYYYYY

YA ROCK CANDY BAYBAAAAAY... YAH HARD SWEET AN STICKAYYYYYYYYYYyyyyy

so...Bohemian Rhapsody isn't on the soundtrack?
I may vote for the Tia Carrere ballad.

OP: only new/recent recordings are poll options, didn't seem fair to have "Bohemian Rhapsody" or "Foxy Lady" (or "Dream Weaver" heh) as options

i occasionally hear "Feed My Frankenstein" on the radio now and it feels kind of surreal to think of it as an actual song played on hard rock stations and not just some goofy Alice Cooper jam that only exists in Wayne's World world

lol sorry. I see polls and my eyes just go right to the options.

"Time Machine" just narrowly over "Loud Love"

loud love just narrowly over time machine

then again, i don't remember most of the rest

If a clip of Alice Cooper dispensing historical factoids about Milwaukee were on there, I'd vote for that.

totally voted for alice.

wanted to vote for alice, but i just hate that song

It's so very alllllllllll about Ballroom Blitz IME!

The OG Ballroom Blitz is one of my favorite songs ever so, yeah, that.

didn't seem fair to have "Bohemian Rhapsody" or "Foxy Lady" (or "Dream Weaver" heh) as options

Would've voted for "Dream Weaver."

The OG Ballroom Blitz is one of my favorite songs ever so, yeah, that.

for ref, tia carrera's version:

5."Sikamikanico" - Red Hot Chili Peppers

i don't think i can divorce my feelings for that version of the song from the slow pan up while tia is playing the bass solo

really dissapointing that the 2 tia songs aren't credited to Crucial Taunt.

^^

most of these songs kinda suck

the pre-nirvana vibe makes it feel much older than 20 years

kinda gets ignored when people talk about the death of pop-metal, cuz it definitely played a part in the defanging

what other songs didn't make the soundtrack? I remember the sticker on the Ugly Kid Joe CD "includes Everything About You from the movie waynes world" or something

yeah one of the things that always amused me about the Wayne's World phenomenon is that when the sketches started you could argue it was a somewhat faithful look at youth culture's tastes at the time but by the time the movie hit theaters they were already an anachronism.

although it's total grunge serendipity that the soundtrack was on Reprise so there's that bonus track by Soundgarden, and in the movie a Temple of the Dog deep cut months before radio discovered "Hunger Strike"

Songs not included on the soundtrack album that feature in the film:

"Everything About You" - Ugly Kid Joe
"All Night Thing" - Temple of the Dog
"Cold Chills" - Kix
"Touch Me" - Tia Carrere (Originally recorded by Private Life. Carrere's version has never been commercially released)

I don't think it was that much of an anachronism, maybe 1993/94

Def Lep and Jovi still had big albums that came out soon after

big "hello adult contemporary charts" albums

i would like to vote for Wayne singing the line "and her name was Cassandra" but since that is not an option, "Why You Wanna Break My Heart" wins.

and tbf Adrenalize feels like one hell of an anachronism itself now. Even though pop-metal wasn't really killed dead until kurt was, but little worth remembering came from it from 1991 on.

some of the first handful of CDs i bought after WW sdtek include Adrenalize and Ten. it was a crazy time.

Last Action Hero soundtrack was a similarly big "rock" soundtrack from a year later, and def showed progression away from pop-metal, although it did include "Two Steps Behind"

you can actually trace the transition of rebelosity this way

1991- nevermind/Use Your Illusion I & II
1992 - "hi, axl! hi, axl!"/dolphins
1993 - In Utero/ The Spaghetti Incident?!
1994 - suicide/ "Sympathy With The Devil" on Interview With The Vampire soundtrack

woops, replace "dolphins" with november rain in 1992, and move dolphins forward. didn't realize how late that video came out!

this is like all da croupier talks about these days

LAH had some jams: LAST ACTION HERO OST POLL

da croupier is a longtime member of my early 90s sewing circle iirc, where you at doctor casino

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3lZ3IPVOi6Q&ob=av2n

started a thread for my tangent: In what year did pop-metal "die" in your opinion?

re: LAH , i think that was more of a sign that pop-metal was dead by the beginning of '93... Beavis & Butthead helped with that as well, debuting in March '93

if everyone would read these lyrics before voting, then feed my frankenstein would win in a landslide:

Well, I ain't evil, I'm just good lookin'
Start a little fire, and baby start cookin'
I'm a hungry man
But I don't want pizza
I'll blow down your house
And then I'm gonna eat ya

Bring you to a simmer
Right on time
Run my greasy fingers
Up your greasy spine

CHORUS
Feed my Frankenstein
Meet my libido
He's a psycho
Feed my Frankenstein
Hungry for love
And it's feeding time

You don't want to talk
So baby shut up
And let me drink the wine from your fur tea cup
Velcro candy, sticky sweet
Make my tattoos melt in the heat
Well, I ain't no veggie
Like my flesh on the bone
Alive and lickin' on your ice cream cone

I have seen this movie a lot and yet cannot recall a single note of any of these songs

Beavis & Butt-Head Experience has Jackyl on it tho

Run my greasy fingers
Up your greasy spine

that's a lot of grease

i thought i knew every word to that song already but "let me drunk the wine from your fur tea cup" is a revelation

re: B&B Experience, it's worth noting that Jackyl was the only pop-metal band that appeared, while two hiphop acts were included

Alice Cooper a big Méret Oppenheim fan tbh

ahahahah i was just about to chime in, i think i've told ILX this before but I once used "Nirvana supposedly killed off hair metal" in the intro paragraph to a conference paper/talk thing. Always happy to rehash issues of supposed generational shift, father-killing and artificial boundaries between eras, I eat that stuff up.

And much as I rep for early-90s Corporate Rock and all its positive vibes, the winner here is clearly LOUD LOVE. Feed My Frankenstein is good too - - and I never actually knew it wasn't a goofy Wayne's World song and not a real Alice Cooper oldie!

for ref, tia carrera's version

Oh, I'm v familiar with it.

I have seen WW many many times.

well it wasn't an Alice Cooper oldie at the time, it was on an album that came out the summer before Wayne's World

wow, didn't realize Steve Vai, Joe Satriani and Nikki Sixx all played on "Feed My Frankenstein"

vai AND satriani? is there a part with dueling guitar solos after the excerpt in WW?

after alice thwacks his riding crop in time with the "franken-stei-ei-ein" part, vai uses it like a violin bow, jimmy page-style, for his solo

<3 tia carrere

I need to see this movie again

voted "Ballroom Blitz" because it's awesome and rowr Tia Carrere

so, nobody is gonna rep for 'tv crimes'? solid dio sabbath cut.

this movie rules.

it's weird watching twin peaks after having seen wayne's world approx. 5000 times. a lotta psycho hose beast on that show.

wow how have i watched that movie like every year of my life since 1992 and never realized lara flynn boyle and ione skye were in it until just now

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Somehow I had a cassette of this and I was really into the Alice Cooper track. I think I was 11 or something.

Hah the end of Tia's "Ballroom Blitz" almost seems like it's about to end on the TMNT musical cue.

Oh yeah, it was electric, so frightfully hectic
And the band started leaving, 'cause they all stopped breathing
Heroes in a half shell... Turtle power!

if everyone would read these lyrics before voting, then feed my frankenstein would win in a landslide:

Well, I ain't evil, I'm just good lookin'
Start a little fire, and baby start cookin'
I'm a hungry man
But I don't want pizza
I'll blow down your house
And then I'm gonna eat ya

Bring you to a simmer
Right on time
Run my greasy fingers
Up your greasy spine

CHORUS
Feed my Frankenstein
Meet my libido
He's a psycho
Feed my Frankenstein
Hungry for love
And it's feeding time

You don't want to talk
So baby shut up
And let me drink the wine from your fur tea cup
Velcro candy, sticky sweet
Make my tattoos melt in the heat
Well, I ain't no veggie

just did exactly this

I still want to hear a mashup of the opening "FEED MY!" with "Free Your Mind" by En Vogue. "Free My Frankenstein" isn't necessarily weirder than "Feed," but, still.

Also just love the idea that En Vogue were listening to a lot of Alice Cooper in 1992.

Part of "Feed My Frankenstein" magic is the valley girl voice saying "He's such a psycho!"

what about Foxy Lady?

i refer you to the first post in the thread

"time machine."

dioooooo

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Baffling. Ballroom Blitz is an awesome song, but the Crucial Taunt version makes it sounds so generic and shrill. Y'all need to listen to Loud Love again!

irl Suck Cut

worst thread revive ever

:(

whoah! i never knew that Why You Wanna Break My Heart is a Dwight Twilley song. From his 1984 album, Jungle.

yeah i always thought that was a crucial taunt original

it's like i don't even know who Crucial Taunt are anymore

so wait... that dude who says "isn't milwaukee an indian name" and alice says "yes pete it is"
pete didnt actually play the solo.
mind blown.
