OK here's my 2 questions over Mitchel The wacatchika song, what's the actual name for the song, I heard it once when I was helping my dad in the garage so all I know is that it's an oldies song, I don't think it's a real song as much as it is a bastard mix of all those cheesy cop show/porno themes. The song you might be thinking of though could be either "Theme from Shaft" by Issac Hayes or "Superfly" by Curtis Mayfield. I know this helped none, but, I don't care. Servo

is the "action Jackson..." referencein Mtchell actually from the movie Action Jackson starring Carl Weathers? The way they sing it, it doesnt seem like it would be. No one answered my earlier quesion about "Im sorry about the stamps"...

Servo I wouldn't even call it a song. It's just imitating that "wakachika" sound that those artists used. I think they use an electric guitar to do it, but I could very well be wrong. The last movie I remember using it was POOTIE TANG after the first fight scene.

The last movie I remember using it was POOTIE TANG after the first fight scene. No they sang in there "It was the 3rd of September, the day I'll always remember!" I was in the garage I remember, I heard this "walkachika" like starting and I was like hey this sound familiar... and then the guy was all "it was the third of September," and I was like oh my god mitchell song! "the day I'll always remember" but I couldn't listen anymore cause my dad was showing me how to put the pistons back in, well something about the engine, and he would have gotten pissed if i had stopped listening to him for a song, but here's all I know, it's an oldies song, most likely 50's 60's or early 70's but I'm guesing 50's or 60's

There's a bit in the opening credits song of Red Zone:Cuba, where Servo says something I can't make out, Mike says a disappointed "Hey..." and Crow says "Huh?" I say huh too, what did Tom say?

I have an esoteric reference in Merlin's Shop of Mystical Wonders. In the scene where they show Merlin waving his hand at the sword in the stone, Mike says something like "Hey there Charlie". Can anyone explain this?

Can anyone explain this? It is just a comment on how Merlin is waving his hand at the screen randomly, I believe.

Joel and Crow say this in seemingly every episode, and it continues to drive me mad...
What the hell does "You're lucky my chick's not here!" mean??

The "You're lucky my chick's not here" is a line from the movie "Road House".
