The other day I thought I might REALLY have a lead on the origins of "Hum didi hee hee hua hua"! I was watching that great Hong Kong flick: MR. VAMPIRE when I noticed the phase "hua" and "hua hua" popping up in the dialogue. AHA! thinks I, so off I run to consult Google Translate and type in hum didi hee hee hua hua to see if a translation from Chinese to English could shed any light---and the translation I received for my efforts? (wait for it.....) "Hum didi hee hee hua hua." So, like Bigfoot, Jimmy Hoffa, and the grassy knoll, the mystery continues. Sadness. Sadness.

Unsolved Mysteries:Questions without answers... Q: In Hellcats, as Ross Hagen (Noooo!) and Linda get on the motorcycle for the first time and the camera zooms in on her clinging to him, Servo says "I'm Shelly! *giggles* Rub my belly!" Any significance to that? It's from the 1977 Chuck Norris movie "Breaker! Breaker!". In the movie, Shelly is a brand of frozen foods. "If it's from Shelly, it's good for your belly!"

What is it in reference to when Joel and the bots start drumming and humming some up tempo music sometimes whenever the camera lingers on an office building. They've done in more than once and I don't get the reference.
I don't know if its the same reference, but I watched Prince of Space last night, and Crow does something similar when the camera lingers on an office building, though he wasn't humming the same tune as Joel and the bots used to, so it might be a completely different reference which I don't understand.

I believe they're doing the intro to The Bob Newhart Show from the 70's where he plays a psychiatrist who lives in Chicago, not the 80's series where he's a bed and breakfast owner in Vermont. www.youtube.com/watch?v=V-PLEhiOeVA

What evokes the riff, though, is not so much memory of the show open but rather the scene transitions from his apartment to his office, which featured (you guessed it) an exterior shot of his office window.

Anytime they say "SLEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!" I don't know if this has been brought up, but I don't know if it's a reference to something or it's just funny in its irony that it is telling you to sleep but, in fact, is too loud to make you sleep.

Well it's either the poppy spell from the Wizard of OZ,
Or the many hypnotists in movies and TV that urge their subjects to "Sleeeeep".

I believe it's from the movie The Grifters, 1990, with John Cusack & Angelica Houston.

When they say "daah okay" in a really dumb voice what's that from?

I always thought it was a reference to the stock dumb character in all those Looney Tunes cartoons. Wasn't there a dumb gangster that used to say, "duhh okay, boss"? Edited to add: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rocky_and_Mugsy

Pardon if this was already posted, I looked everywhere in this thread and the whole board and had no luck, but I finally found it with an hour of searching the wide internet at large. The SOL crew has this habit of saying "We now return to [movie]" or "We now return to your Channel 9 Afternoon Movie, [name]" and then going "da-da-da-da da da, da-da, DA-DA!" It's the old theme to the the WGN Chicago Channel 9 afternoon movie in the 80s. You can hear it behind the movie plot description in this old intro video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCi_Bv8oW-8
