Swingin' The Alphabet by The Three Stooges / Minced by Richard & Danny Elfman
This is a case of discovering the parody before the original and thinking it's an awesome original. Oh well. Forbidden Zone is a fairly amazing movie from 1980 made by Ricahrd Elfman, brother of Danny Elfman (the Oingo Boingo/soundtrack guy) when they were both part of the Mystic Knights of Oingo Boingo, which was less rock band and more performance art. Forbidden Zone has a slew of songs in it, some covers, some lip synchs, some a mixture of the two, with a few originals in there as well. It also features a snotty princess who walks around with a rider's crop in stiletos, topless in a tiarra and wears big granny panties, which is the proper way to handle nudity as far as I'm converned. So, the movie is great, and one of my favorite scenes is during school when the teacher makes everyone do the ABCs. And I just found out this is a rip on the 3 Stooges, who I don't really care for which, I've been told, makes me un-american and also possibly a fag. I dunno, I liked the first Die Hard movie. So with out any more ramblings, 3 Stooges vs a Forbidden Zone:

Bonus below: Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo on the Gong Show and some more selections from the Forbidden Zone with brief notes..




Gong Show!





I Was Born From a Witch's Egg. By the evil 2nd queen. Her husband is the "the plane the plane" guy.




Squeezit the Moocher. Sung by Danny Elfman, who also plays satan. Mild nudity. Based on that famous minnie the moocher song. Pico and Sepulveda. Wish LA was like this! I've been to that intersection and it sucks. I've been the tar pits, and they kinda suck. This was an old 40s song that Dr. Demento repurposed for a bit.


Bim Bam Boom. Some old song. It's great: they impose the film of the singers lips on that dude. Good stuff.
