Violent Love (live), Oingo Boingo (1983) Ska cover of Willie Dixon’s 1951 classic. From the Utoobage comments:
“Fun fact: In the early 80’s when they performed this song, during the sax solo Danny Elfman would grab a random person from the audience and take them backstage. When they returned Danny would be zipping up his fly and the other person’s hair would be all messed up (and yes he did this with male audience members too).”

Buy Him Some Peanuts and Cracker Jack

11 June 2024, Cincinnati

In the 9th inning of the Cincinnati Reds / Cleveland Guardians game Tuesday night, Reds fan William Hendon, a sophomore at OSU, ran onto the field of the Great American Ball Park in his socks and wearing a Johnny Bench jersey. A police officer approached, Hendon did a backflip, and the officer stopped him with a Taser.

Hendon “did knowingly run onto the Reds playing field during the game without permission to do so,” an officer wrote in one of his criminal complaints.

“Everybody thinks you landed that backflip,” Municipal Court Judge William Mallory said during Hendon’s arraignment Wednesday morning.
“I’m pretty sure I did,” replied Hendon.

Hendon pleaded not guilty.
