I just saw a clip on YouTube of the scene in "Godzilla vs. the Sea Monster" where Godzilla rips Ebirah's claws off, and at the beginning of it Mothra is in flight, and Joel sings (in a goofy voice) "Oh, I'm a jumbo bumblebee..." At the end, Mothra shows up again, and Joel sings, in the same goofy voice, something that sounds like "Oh Godzilla, oh dee oh..." Was he referencing something here, and if so what?

There is a nursery rhyme/kiddie song that begins with "I'm bringing home a baby bumblebee..." The goofy voice might be referencing a Warner Bros. cartoon, in which Beaky Buzzard is sent off to find dinner and indeed brings back a bumblebee and sings the song. Beaky's voice and demeanor was patterned after Mortimer Snerd, one of Edgar Bergen's ventriloquist dummy characters, and had a goofy voice. The cartoon is THE BASHFUL BUZZARD, and Beaky sings the song at 4:29: www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAeEA3vjEd4

I read most if not all of this thread and I don’t think this one was asked. If it was, just kick me in the crotch and light me ablaze. Through the internet I have been able to figure out a lot of esoteric references on my own, but these two escape me. They are both from one of my favorite episodes, ‘Zombie Nightmare’. Both were spoken by Crow while the overacting Voodoo Priestess was working her magic. After she says “Stand back”, he follows it up with “For Dutch Masters!” He also says something like “Master voodoo, master of the age.” Any insight on what these mean. They just fell flat for me.

Maybe it's a reference to an old commercial or print ad campaign of theirs? Say, I just found some old TV commercials for Dutch Masters on YouTube that were done by the brilliant comedian Eddie Kovacs! Here's one: www.youtube.com/watch?v=DkoNLi74jj0The ad's tag line seems to be "Step up... to finer smoking pleasure." That's kinda close to "Stand back." Isn't it?

Wow, that was fast. I would be inclined to agree with you. When I googled the phrase it came up with those cigars, but I still failed to see the connection. You, my friend, provided the missing piece to the puzzle. Cheers, mate.

Why in the world is Mike dressed up as Kenny G during the "vegables" segment in Bloodlust?

I got another one. In Werewolf, Joe Estevez is talking to his buddy, a long haired bearded guy in a cowboy hat. When that guy turns to face the camera, Mike kind of sings the line "Can't be wrong" in a country western voice. Does this guy look like some kind of country singer or something? What song?

It's a Marshall Tucker Band reference. One of several actually. At the dig, Mike says, "You know, never put Marshall Tucker in charge of your dig." Then when cowboy guy gets back with Indian guy and says he's hurt "bad bad" Mike says, "I heard it in a love song" which is probably their most well known song. "Can't be wrong" is a line from that song. The guy looks like pretty much anybody in the band actually. Google Image 'Marshall Tucker' and you'll see why. Technically, the band was Southern Rock, like The Allman Brothers or Lynyrd Skynyrd but that has a tendency to sound country. Here's a youtube posting of the song: www.youtube.com/watch?v=eywiRLhRKtY

Thanks. That riff makes me chuckle, the song on the other hand made me suicidal.

Why in the world is Mike dressed up as Kenny G during the "vegables" segment in Bloodlust? That was either just random throwaway silliness or a writing room in joke that got made into part of a sketch.

That's what I assumed. It just bewilders me so much every time I see it that I had to finally ask. Thanks!
