That has to be one of the best titles of any post ever.

Saturday Matinee – Axe Cop, Roadtrip, Original Stairway to Heaven, Mumbles, YaYa and the Wall of Death
Whoever added the Boots Randolph sound track to this car chase gets our respect.
In 1964, The Beatles wrote “Stairway to Heaven.” [Found here.]
Clark Terry’s classic scat “Mumbles” [from M @ Blogmocracy].
Gotcha some Buckwheat Zydeco with a cover of Lee Dorsey’s “YaYa.”
Might have posted this before, but I like the song. Originally recorded by Richard and Linda Thompson, it still kicks. Have a great weekend, folks.
Oops.
While combing through my leftover posts, I found this image of a post-ignosecond from the early 1900s. Can’t make out the make of the vehicle, but apparently the mishap hap’d in Australia.
Given the price of a state-of-the-art vehicle at that time, this was a very expensive oops.

Saturday Matinee – Bugging Insects, Anti-Water, Leon Redbone; Plus Lonnie Mack with SRV, Albert Collins & Roy Buchanan
Bug a bug: Annoying a praying mantis. [Found here.]
I want this. It would make clothes dryers and salad spinners obsolete. [Found here.]
Leon Redbone is in a class all by ourselves.
Lonnie Mack and SRV with “Double Whammy,” for preview only.
Lonnie Mack with Albert Collins and Roy Buchanan, “Further On Up The Road.” Whatta classic lineup.
Prison Break Camouflage
“Nah. That’s just a zebra with a tumor. Keep looking.”
[Found at Crappy Taxidermy. We assume that the zebra is the preserved specimen, otherwise it’d kinda be wrong.]
E.T. – The Extra Tentacle
Dee Wallace (Elliot’s mom) hasn’t aged well.
Other E.T. trivia: Howie Hammerman provided E.T.’s belch. Thought you’d like to know.
[Found here.]
Awesome Space Refrigerator (with Awesome Vinyl Wood Laminate Film & Awesome Space Bimbos) Is Awesome.
Saturday Matinee – Some Donnas, La Bamba & Joe’s Garage
Woof. Yeah, that’s 10cc doing it’s best Zappadoowop attempt with “Donna.” A few days ago, “Brian” reminded me that 10cc sang what I mis-remembered as “I Wanna Be A Bus.” (See this post.)
Here are The Donnas doing their best Ramones impersonation with a puzzling and cheap video.
From The Donnas, we thought we’d find a video of Ritchie Valens singing “Donna,” but no dice. Jump search to “La Bamba” and there’s just garbage and clips of Lou Diamond Phillips limp sinking. So here’s the greatly underrated Los Lobos‘ version of the Mexican traditional song.
Since we started off with a brief reference to Zappa, here’s a double header from a 1980 concert in France. The segue line is perfect.
Be back here tomorrow for some cool stuff.
Mr. T Shirts
[Found here. It’d be a pity to miss our Mr. T Archives. ]
Saturday Matinee – Snow Removal, Whatever, Dick Montana, Howlin’ Wolf (and giraffes).
Excellent Snow Removal Strategy [Found here.]
Annoying but kinda funny vid by Liam Lynch from 2003 found at AoS. [Ace has a bonus link to a great rebuttal to last Wednesday’s State of the Union speech, by Obama himself.] Whatever.
The Late Great Country Dick Montana and the Beat Farmers’ version of Richard Hell and the Voidoids‘ “Blank Generation.” Got that?
Meet me at the bottom, get me my runnin’ shoes. [Tip o’ the tarboosh to ADAM at Table 9.]
At least one of our readers wants more giraffes, according to last week’s poll, so there you go, bro.
