Title: Cool music from 80s cartoons
Post by: Ummon on March 09, 2009, 02:07:37 am

This part from M.A.S.K., where they energize their masks, was particularly interesting and enlightening to me when I was a kid:

Is that another German thing?  I've never seen nor heard of that in my life.   ???

Dang Chad, I'm a young whippersnapper and even I remember that show. Now if you said M.A.S.K., I probably wouldn't have a clue. But if you said "the show where the sweet sports car opened its gull wing doors and could fly, and the dud wore a weird helmet I would know EXACTLY what you were talking about.

That flying car was one of my absolute favorite toys.

I had the Thunderhawk, the jeep one, the cycle, and Mayhem's chopper/jet. Maybe more, I'm not sure. I don't know what happened to them all. I think I gave them to something like Goodwill some years later. Of course, I was a freshman in high school when it came out - which is probably why you didn't know of it, Chad - but I was kinda into it, goofy stories an all.

Oh. Anyone notice the goof near the end of where they're moving out and it shows Matt Trakker in the camaro driving on the right side of the vehicle?

I always liked the Voltron intro -- I even have that music on my cell as the ringer for when my kids call my cell from theirs...lol!!

After watching that, the first thing that came to mind is what a bunch of lazy assed super heroes!  They have their table built into a 30 foot levitating pillar and a robotic contraption come out of the ceiling just to hand them their helmets?!   :laugh2:

but.....but....but they're energized.

What looks cooler -- the current intro, or them unplugging their helmets from a bunch of wall warts?

Well, certianly, it's a big waste of resources, and total man ego to boot - but it looks cool. Or it looked cool, anyway.
