Dan McCoy
[0:00] Hey, it's Dan. These pre-rolls can get boring quickly, so I'll be fast.
[0:04] Flop TV is back this September 2025 through February 2026
[0:09] with all new streaming live shows that you can also see video on demand if you can't make it live.
[0:15] Individual tickets and season passes are available at theflophouse.simpleticks.com.
[0:21] That's ticks spelled T-I-X.
[0:23] As well as all the info that is too much to say here.
[0:27] Now, the show.
[0:30] Hey, everyone. Welcome to another Flophouse Mini.
[0:36] As you know, the Flophouse is mostly devoted to watching bad movies and then talking about them.
[0:41] But every other week, we also do these minis, which are more just whatever we want to do.
[0:47] I'm in charge this week. This is me, Dan McCoy.
[0:50] Others, introduce yourself now.
[0:52] This is me, Stuart Wellington.
Elliott Kalan
[0:55] This is me, Elliot Kalin.
[0:58] Very articulate.
Dan McCoy
[1:00] So, this mini.
[1:03] Well, let me set it up thusly.
[1:05] There's a music genre.
[1:06] I started turning into Jay Leno for a moment.
[1:07] You're like, oh, well, well, let me go.
[1:09] Yeah, we're going to Doritos.
[1:13] Muscle cars.
[1:14] There's a genre of music that I think is near and dear to our hearts.
[1:20] I'm talking about...
[1:21] I'm talking about...
[1:22] Zydeco.
[1:24] I'm talking about end credit rap songs that either partially or exhaustively summarize the plot of the movie we just saw.
[1:33] Usually found in movies of the late 80s and 90s.
[1:36] And in doing the research for this, I learned that this genre actually has a name.
[1:40] It's called a wrap-up rap.
[1:42] Oh, that's a great name for it.
[1:44] Oh, man.
[1:45] And that leads us to my mini, Wrap-up, wrap, wrap-up.
[1:49] Sponsored by Bubble Wrap.
[1:51] Once you pop, you can't stop.
[1:53] That's true.
Elliott Kalan
[1:54] Because there's a curse on the bubble wrap and a demon will drag you to hell if you don't pop them all.
[1:59] Mm-hmm.
Stuart Wellington
[2:00] This mini...
[2:01] That was the third of the Greek guys being punished in Hades or whatever, right?
[2:05] The others are snap and crackle.
Dan McCoy
[2:07] Anyway, this mini is partly a game and partly just an excuse to talk about a few of these songs.
[2:14] Cool.
[2:15] I've collected a few choice examples, and I'm going to read a selection of the lyrics.
[2:21] When I'm done and say go, wait for go, I want you guys to buzz in by saying your name,
[2:28] and you will get one point if you can name the movie the wrap-up rap is from,
[2:32] and one point if you can name the title of the song.
[2:36] Oof.
[2:37] Can't do that.
[2:37] And then for each of these, I also have a follow-up discussion question.
[2:41] Oh, okay.
Stuart Wellington
[2:42] Essay portion, yeah.
Dan McCoy
[2:44] Yeah.
[2:44] One disclaimer, I would like to acknowledge that a white middle-aged man reading rap lyrics
[2:50] can inadvertently sound like he's making fun of rap just by virtue of how awkward it sounds.
[2:56] While I am poking fun at the specific genre, which is silly, no other negativity is meant.
[3:02] I just will sound like that.
[3:04] I'll sound cringy because that is what happens.
[3:08] But remember, buzz in with your names, but only after I say go so we can hear a good chunk of these lyrics.
[3:16] Okay.
[3:17] So this is number one.
[3:19] You're not going to do this in like a weird accent or anything, right?
[3:22] I'm not.
Dan McCoy
[3:22] Okay.
[3:22] Okay.
[3:23] Yeah, it's not Dracula reading raps.
[3:24] If anything, I will try to make it non-rhythmic.
[3:28] Yeah.
[3:28] As flat and Midwestern as possible.
[3:31] Here we go.
[3:33] Rough neck, so go check the law and abide.
[3:36] Watch your step or flex and get a hole in your side.
[3:40] Swallow your pride.
[3:42] Don't let your lip react.
[3:44] You don't want to see my hand where my hip be at.
[3:48] Go.
Stuart Wellington
[3:49] Wait, do we...
[3:50] You're buzzing with your name.
[3:51] Buzz, Stuart.
[3:52] Okay.
[3:53] This has got to be the king of this genre.
[3:57] This is Will Smith and this is what, Wild Wild West?
Dan McCoy
[3:59] That is correct.
Stuart Wellington
[4:01] And the title of the song is?
[4:02] Oh, damn it.
[4:06] Yeah, I don't remember.
[4:08] Buzz in, Elliot.
Dan McCoy
[4:09] Yeah, Elliot.
[4:10] Is it called Wild Wild West?
[4:11] It is.
[4:12] That's one point for each of you.
[4:15] In many of these, yes, the title of the song is at least slightly different, but in this case, it's the same.
Elliott Kalan
[4:21] Because the chorus is Wild Wild West.
[4:23] It's a kind of movie.
[4:24] The wild wild west.
[4:26] Indeed.
[4:26] How's that west?
[4:26] It's very wild wild.
[4:27] How many wilds?
[4:28] There's two wilds there.
Dan McCoy
[4:30] What kind of buffalo wings do we like?
[4:33] Wild Wild Wings.
[4:36] Hey, I got a follow-up question for this one.
[4:38] Yeah, why not?
[4:39] All Wild West was directed by Barry Sonnenfeld, coming off the Addams Family movies, Get Shorty and Men in Black.
[4:46] And it starred Will Smith, Kevin Kline, Salma Hayek, and Kenneth Branagh.
[4:51] So, why is the best thing about this song?
[4:55] It's a good question.
Elliott Kalan
[4:58] Do you want a joke answer or a serious answer?
Dan McCoy
[5:01] Whatever you got.
[5:01] This is a podcast.
[5:02] We just got to fill time.
Elliott Kalan
[5:04] I think this is one of those movies that has a big hole in its center.
[5:09] And the hole in its center is that the story is not interesting and the characters are not interesting.
[5:16] And it's based on a TV show that I think – I guess a lot of people of our parents' generation remembered it.
[5:23] But certainly when it came out, I did not know it was based on a show until afterwards.
[5:28] I've never seen an episode of it.
Dan McCoy
[5:29] Oh, like the Fall Guy for me.
[5:30] Yes, exactly.
[5:31] Although that was like barely based on the show.
Elliott Kalan
[5:34] No, but I think it's the idea of having name recognition and then trying to play off of that when the name recognition is not there.
Stuart Wellington
[5:41] But also –
[5:41] Should have been based on Briscoe County Jr.
Elliott Kalan
[5:43] Yeah, sure.
[5:44] But I think also the idea that like they thought, oh, it's kind of a Western comedy action thing.
[5:48] We don't need any more than that.
[5:49] But there's just not a lot going on in it, you know?
[5:50] So, you have all these talented people working on it.
[5:52] They put a lot of effort into it, but there's nothing to hold it all together.
[5:55] As opposed to Men in Black where that's a really well done movie.
[5:59] The Addams Family movies are, of course, great, you know?
Stuart Wellington
[6:01] And Get Shorty is great.
[6:03] I think Westerns are kind of hard to do unless you are – you really understand what makes a Western work.
[6:10] And then once you start tinkering with it too much, it can lose its center.
Elliott Kalan
[6:14] Yeah, I think also it would have been helped probably to have a producer who could oversee and pull these things together as opposed to John Peters, the actual producer, who was just wanting so hard to make a movie with a giant mechanical spider in it.
[6:25] And I think that's what he was mainly focused on, you know?
Dan McCoy
[6:29] Yeah, he's got a real mechanical spider kink, that guy.
[6:32] Get it?
[6:32] I love Runaway.
[6:34] Okay, well –
Elliott Kalan
[6:34] When we did Wild Wild West on the show, I would have loved it if it turned out to be like a super fun movie that just got unfairly maligned.
[6:39] But watching it, you're like, oh, this is not – it just doesn't work.
[6:43] The funny stuff is not funny and the characters are annoying.
Stuart Wellington
[6:45] The exciting stuff is not very exciting.
[6:47] I do like a giant spider thing, but yeah.
Dan McCoy
[6:51] Okay, well, let's move on to the second song.
[6:56] Here are the lyrics.
[6:57] I remember the day I needed to borrow a little of pepper for my chicken.
[7:03] The next thing you know, coming at me was a hand with fingers high-stepping.
[7:08] Now, I tried to play it along, you know.
[7:11] Elliot.
[7:11] And act like I was having a ball.
[7:13] Wait, you got to wait for go.
[7:14] Oh, sorry.
[7:15] But what do I see?
[7:17] A perm with feet standing about three feet tall.
[7:20] Go.
Elliott Kalan
[7:21] Elliot.
[7:21] Adam's Family.
[7:23] Yes.
[7:23] And what is the name of the song?
[7:25] Oh, is it Adam's Family Rap?
Stuart Wellington
[7:28] No.
[7:29] Stuart, can you steal this one?
[7:32] I don't – like, it's – yeah, I don't remember.
Dan McCoy
[7:36] It's close, but the song is titled Adam's Groove.
[7:40] Adam's Groove.
[7:41] Oh, damn it.
[7:41] Oh, that's what it is.
Elliott Kalan
[7:44] Now, I have the follow-up.
[7:45] That is, of course, the one where they kick and they either stop a friend or slap a friend,
[7:48] depending on how you –
[7:48] Yeah, they slap a friend.
[7:50] Yeah.
Dan McCoy
[7:51] Not really a thing I associate with the Adam's Family, to be frank.
Elliott Kalan
[7:55] Maybe it's playing off of the thing being a hand.
[7:58] I don't know.
[7:58] Yeah.
[7:59] I don't see the – I see them using violent things, like they use swords or cannons or stuff.
[8:03] Not so much kicking and slapping.
Dan McCoy
[8:05] Yeah.
[8:05] It's one of the three stages.
[8:06] Bizarro's, yeah.
[8:07] Yeah.
[8:07] I got a follow-up question for this.
[8:09] So, this is an example of a wrap-up rap that addresses the characters of the movie,
[8:13] but otherwise takes artistic license and doesn't stick strictly to the film's plot.
Elliott Kalan
[8:19] My question is –
[8:20] They thought he was Fester, but he was really Chester, but it turns out at the end he was Fester.
[8:25] I don't know.
[8:25] Okay.
[8:26] Because that's the plot of the movie, right?
[8:27] Wonderful, wonderful rap.
[8:28] Yeah, you're right.
Dan McCoy
[8:29] Great stuff.
[8:29] My question is, would 1991's The Addams Family have been improved by including a scene where MC Hammer dropped by to borrow some pepper for his chicken?
Elliott Kalan
[8:40] 100 percent, I think.
Stuart Wellington
[8:42] Yeah.
[8:43] Yeah, I think you're right.
[8:44] Yeah.
[8:45] Some shenanigans would happen, probably.
Elliott Kalan
[8:46] Maybe there was an earlier draft of the script that they were working on.
[8:49] Like somehow – like when they used to do movie novelizations, they would be based on early drafts of the script so that the book would be ready in time with the movie,
[8:56] and there would be scenes in there that didn't make it into the movie.
[8:58] Maybe there was a scene originally in the movie where a guy stops by to get pepper for a chicken and gets slapped.
Dan McCoy
[9:03] It was more about seasoning food.
[9:05] I think –
Stuart Wellington
[9:05] Isn't there like a party scene?
[9:08] Maybe he could have shown up during then looking to borrow some pepper.
Dan McCoy
[9:12] Yeah.
[9:12] And he'd have been like, what?
[9:13] And then he could do a song like Digital Underground when they stopped by and nothing but trouble.
[9:18] Nothing but trouble, yeah.
[9:19] I don't remember.
[9:21] Maybe I have to watch that movie again.
[9:24] Probably.
[9:24] Probably you should just keep that on loop.
[9:27] Mm-hmm.
[9:28] Okay.
Stuart Wellington
[9:29] Well, that's –
[9:29] And it's a good thing that they didn't do a rap for Adam's Family Values because that would just be all about Debbie, who's the best character.
[9:37] Yeah.
[9:37] How sexy Debbie is.
[9:38] I don't see what would be wrong with a rap about Debbie.
[9:41] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[9:42] I would pen thousands of odes to how sexy Debbie is.
Elliott Kalan
[9:47] Dan, if you're not into Debbie, then I don't know what's going on with you.
[9:50] Yeah.
Dan McCoy
[9:50] Yeah, no, no, I understand.
[9:52] I just, you know.
[9:53] For once in my life, I'm less vocal with my horniness.
[9:58] Okay, so this is number three.
[10:00] Uh-huh.
[10:01] Had them throwing a party for a bunch of children while all the while the slime was under the building.
[10:07] So they packed up their group, got a grip, came equipped, grabbed their proton packs out the back.
[10:14] That's a tell.
[10:14] And they split.
[10:16] Found out about Vigo, the master of evil.
[10:19] That's really –
[10:20] Trying to battle my boys.
[10:22] That's not legal.
[10:23] Go.
[10:24] Elliot.
Elliott Kalan
[10:25] Yes.
[10:26] Okay, so that's Ghostbusters 2.
[10:28] Uh-huh.
[10:28] And the name of the song is?
[10:32] Take Control.
[10:33] Is that it?
[10:33] Or no, is that a different song?
Dan McCoy
[10:34] No, Stuart.
[10:35] You got it?
[10:36] I thought it was Take Control.
[10:37] I mean, they do say the words Take Control, but it's not the name of the song.
[10:41] What is it?
[10:41] It's another lyric.
[10:42] It is On Our Own.
[10:43] On Our Own.
[10:44] That makes a lot more sense.
[10:46] Bobby Brown, right?
[10:46] It's Bobby Brown.
Elliott Kalan
[10:47] Because the big thing about that movie is how the Ghostbusters are on their own.
[10:51] Mm-hmm.
[10:51] Yeah.
Dan McCoy
[10:52] I guess, unlike before, when we had the back.
[10:54] Unlike the first movie when –
[10:54] The full force of the government behind it.
[10:56] The federal government and the military, I guess.
Stuart Wellington
[10:58] But Bobby Brown is in the movie, right?
[11:01] Yes, he is.
[11:01] He plays like a doorman.
[11:03] Yeah.
[11:04] But he doesn't perform in it.
[11:05] Yeah.
[11:05] This was before he killed Whitney Houston, right?
[11:07] Oh, God.
[11:09] I do have a follow-up question.
Elliott Kalan
[11:11] How liable are we for that comment that Stuart just said?
[11:14] I mean, he introduced her to crack, guys.
[11:16] Okay.
Dan McCoy
[11:18] We can litigate it off air.
[11:20] Okay.
[11:21] Follow-up question.
[11:22] As someone who has sung this song at karaoke, I can attest to the fact that the two rap breaks in the song are just the same rap break repeated.
[11:30] If Bobby Brown had written different lyrics for the second rap break, what plot elements would you have liked to see him cover?
[11:38] Statue of Liberty.
[11:39] Yeah.
[11:39] Shooting goo guns all over the Statue of Liberty.
[11:42] Yeah.
[11:43] Yeah.
[11:43] More focus on –
Elliott Kalan
[11:44] Well, get inside this lady.
[11:45] Shoot our goo all up inside her.
[11:48] Oh, God, no.
[11:48] Oh, God, no.
[11:48] Right?
Stuart Wellington
[11:49] Baby walking on the edge of a building.
[11:53] Yeah.
Elliott Kalan
[11:55] Stroller on the loose.
[11:56] Cars almost hit it.
[11:57] Yeah.
[11:58] Come on, Viggo.
[11:59] Why can't you just quit it?
Dan McCoy
[12:03] I love and hate when Elliot raps equally.
Stuart Wellington
[12:07] Then at the end, the painting turns good.
[12:10] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[12:11] Okay.
[12:12] Wait, does the painting – oh, because –
Dan McCoy
[12:13] Because it turns into a painting of –
[12:15] It turns into a happy painting of all of them.
Elliott Kalan
[12:17] Of all of them.
[12:17] Of like Sigourney Weaver and Baby Oscar and the Ghostbusters around.
[12:21] But it's like, you know, a Renaissance style, you know.
Stuart Wellington
[12:25] Yeah.
[12:26] We should get that for the studio.
[12:29] Just buy that painting.
[12:29] If we could find it, I would love to buy that.
[12:31] If that prop still exists, I would love to own it.
[12:33] That would be crazy if that isn't available.
[12:34] Like, somebody make that.
[12:35] Somebody make that.
[12:37] I'm sure –
[12:37] Yeah.
[12:37] Yeah.
[12:38] A print.
[12:38] A print or something.
Elliott Kalan
[12:39] A fancy print.
[12:40] Or somebody make that with our heads instead of the Ghostbusters on it.
Dan McCoy
[12:43] Yes.
[12:44] Better yet.
[12:45] Yeah.
[12:45] Do that.
[12:46] Okay.
[12:48] This is number four.
[12:50] After this, we're going to take a little break.
[12:52] This one is a bit harder.
[12:54] So I'm going to read more lyrics on this one.
[12:58] So buckle up.
[13:00] Once upon a time, he was a super cop.
[13:03] But the bad guy framed him to make him stop.
[13:06] They put him in prison where they tried to kill him.
[13:09] But he broke out.
[13:10] Now he's the villain.
[13:12] Bullets don't hurt him.
[13:13] I know it should, like, jive.
[13:15] But we're not sure if he's dead or alive.
[13:19] Set him on fire.
[13:20] Shoot him with an Uzi.
[13:21] But he'll show up in your jacuzzi.
[13:23] You can run him over.
[13:25] You can feed him poison.
[13:27] Push him out a window.
[13:28] And it only annoys him.
[13:30] You better believe me if you think I'm lying.
[13:33] When he shows up, people start dying.
[13:36] He's out for vengeance.
[13:37] And he can't be stopped.
[13:39] That's why they call him the go.
[13:43] Elliot.
[13:44] Yes, Elliot.
[13:45] Maniac Cop?
[13:46] That is almost correct.
[13:49] Oh, I didn't remember there being a rap for Maniac Cop.
[13:51] Maniac Cop 2?
[13:51] Yes.
[13:52] Oh, it's Maniac Cop 2.
[13:53] You're the advantage.
[13:54] You get the advantage of the trick question.
Elliott Kalan
[13:57] Oh, you're right.
[13:58] You're right.
[13:58] Maniac Cop 2.
[13:59] I was like, I didn't remember there being a rap in the Maniac Cop.
[14:02] Yeah, Maniac Cop 2.
Dan McCoy
[14:03] Elliot, I'll give you the chance to answer if you know the title of this.
Elliott Kalan
[14:10] I think Maniac, parentheses, cop.
Stuart Wellington
[14:14] Stuart, do you want to hear?
[14:15] I was just going to say, in modern America, Maniac Cop's a regular cop.
[14:21] Yeah.
Dan McCoy
[14:22] This is unimaginably titled Maniac Cop Rap.
[14:28] Oh, cool.
[14:28] I should have guessed that.
[14:29] I should have guessed that, yeah.
[14:31] Hey, when you got gold, don't mess with it.
[14:33] Yeah, so that's from Maniac Cop 2, which leads into my follow-up question.
[14:38] Back in the habit, yeah.
[14:40] Maniac Cop 2 seems like an odd movie to have a wrap-up rap.
[14:44] What film that doesn't end with one would you want to have its own wrap-up rap?
Stuart Wellington
[14:50] There's so many.
[14:51] There's so many.
[14:53] Wait, no.
[14:55] Manchester by the Sea.
[14:56] Oh, God.
Elliott Kalan
[15:00] Yeah, I think all of Kenneth Lonergan's movies should end with wrap-up raps.
[15:03] Margaret.
[15:04] Margaret, you can count on me.
[15:06] All of them, yeah.
Dan McCoy
[15:07] Sounds good.
Elliott Kalan
[15:07] Even his plays.
[15:08] When Lobby Heroes perform, does he just have a wrap-up rap at the end?
Dan McCoy
[15:12] Or the curtain call.
[15:15] People are taking their bows.
Elliott Kalan
[15:18] Okay.
[15:18] I was going to say, on a sincere note, I think that hackers should have a wrap-up rap at the end.
Dan McCoy
[15:26] Oh, that would actually suit it very well.
[15:29] Yeah.
[15:30] Especially with all those hacker names.
[15:32] Those would go in a wrap real nice.
Elliott Kalan
[15:34] Acid burn or whatever they're called, you know?
[15:35] Yeah.
Dan McCoy
[15:37] Okay.

[17:04] Terms and conditions apply.
[17:06] And I would also like to mention that, of course, we're gearing up for Flop TV Season 3.
[17:14] Starting in September, the first Saturday of every month through February at 9 p.m. Eastern, 6 Pacific.
[17:22] We will be doing our one-hour sort of TV show version of the Flop House with extra stuff like videos, presentations, and more.
[17:33] And this year, the theme is Flopsterpiece Theater.
[17:36] We're going to go back in time.
[17:39] I didn't pay for that, so I'll stop singing it.
[17:42] We're going to be doing significant flops.
Elliott Kalan
[17:43] Because we always pay for I'm blue when I sing it, yeah.
Dan McCoy
[17:47] We're going to do significant flops.
[17:50] It's expensive, but it's worth it.
[17:52] Decade by decade, working back from the 2000s to the 1950s.
[17:57] The Adventures of Plutonash, Jack Frost, Xanadu, Zardoz, Dr. Dolittle, Plan 9 from Outer Space.
[18:07] I don't know whether I skipped over one or I got them all.
[18:10] Anyway, the point is, hey, why don't you go over to theflophouse.simpleticks.com.
[18:17] That's TIX with a T-I-X.
[18:19] And get your tickets now.
[18:22] It's $7 for one episode, or you can get a full season pass for $35 for the whole season.
[18:31] And we didn't mention this before, but as in the past, these shows will stay up through the season.
[18:37] So if you get a season pass late, you can go back.
[18:39] You can watch the earlier episodes, and you can watch them.
[18:43] We'll have them up a little bit past the window of when we're doing the live shows, the live versions of the show.
[18:49] But if you want to be there live and be in the chat, chatting with other viewers, you can do that on those first Saturdays.
[18:59] But let's get back to the game, kind of, I guess, is what it is.
[19:07] Yeah, yeah, you've been keeping score, right?
[19:08] Yeah, I have actually been keeping score, even though it is all meaningless.
[19:13] Uh, everything's moving on the stand.
Stuart Wellington
[19:15] That's true, everything.
[19:16] We're all going to be worm food.

Dan McCoy
[20:21] Let's get back to the wrap-up mini.
[20:25] And I'm just going past the lyrics that I've already done to get back to, all right, number five.
[20:31] Yeah.
[20:32] Here we go.
[20:34] This song goes as follows.
[20:38] In a hundred years, in the darkest night, the forces of evil come out to fight.
[20:44] The amulet they must destroy or spend forever in the darkest void.
[20:49] Who can stop their deadly might?
[20:52] Or who will stand up for the right?
[20:54] From the mouths of babes comes dynamite.
[20:58] Go.
[21:01] Elliot.
[21:01] Oh, wow.
[21:01] I'm surprised.
[21:02] Okay.
[21:03] I don't think this is right, but Double Dragon.
[21:05] No.
[21:07] Stewart.
[21:07] Yeah.
[21:07] Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3.
[21:09] Oh, my God.
[21:10] I can't believe it, guys.
[21:12] This is, of course, from the movie The Monster Squad.
[21:14] Oh.
[21:15] Oh, my God.
[21:15] It was so nice.
[21:16] Monster Squad.
[21:17] Monster Squad rap.
Elliott Kalan
[21:18] Oh, okay.
[21:19] I forgot there was an amulet in Monster Squad.
[21:21] Oh, yeah.
[21:21] Oh, yeah.
[21:21] Oh, yeah.
Stuart Wellington
[21:21] No.
[21:22] How could you forget that?
[21:23] It's almost a character in and of itself.
[21:25] Yeah.
[21:25] It's almost as important as the Wolfman's nards.
[21:28] Uh-huh.
Dan McCoy
[21:28] Well, it's funny that you say that, Stuart, because my follow-up question is this.
[21:32] Does the Wolfman have nards?
[21:34] This song fails to address the issue of whether or not Wolfman has nards.
[21:40] What rap couplet would you add to the song to correct this issue?
Stuart Wellington
[21:44] Oh, wow.
[21:45] We got rapster piece theater from over in L.A.
[21:47] Caitlin's zone.
[21:48] What are you going to do?
Elliott Kalan
[21:49] I say hit Wolfman in the nards.
[21:50] It's not too hard.
[21:52] Okay.
[21:53] But, I mean, he does have nards.
[21:53] He's a man who gets turned into a wolfman.
[21:55] Why would he not have testicles?
[21:57] Kids don't know.
[21:58] I mean, he morphs, dude.
[21:59] Yeah.
[21:59] But wolves have testicles, too.
[22:01] It's not like he's, I mean, I could see him losing the ability to do.
[22:04] to speak because a wolf's throat is not designed for that.
[22:06] Look, it's a kid who says this.
Dan McCoy
[22:07] We're not here to litigate whether it's a good question or not.
Stuart Wellington
[22:09] So, is the kid who's writing this rap, Dan?
[22:11] No, of course not.
[22:12] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[22:13] Yeah, you're saying that it's implied that the author of the rap is a grown-up
[22:18] and is familiar with the anatomy of a wolfman.
Elliott Kalan
[22:20] Of a human man and a wolfman, yeah.
[22:23] Okay.
Dan McCoy
[22:24] Sure, you don't want to take a crack at the...
[22:26] I guess it's in the cards.
Stuart Wellington
[22:27] Wolfman has nards.
[22:28] Yeah, there you go.
[22:29] Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[22:31] Kick him in the crotch.
[22:32] There isn't a notch.
[22:35] But there is a notch.
[22:36] Wait.
[22:38] Wait, I'm still going.
[22:42] You know, they call Shakespeare the bard in...
[22:45] Wait.
Dan McCoy
[22:47] I love that you set it up with that irrelevant fact without having a follow-up rhyme.
[22:55] Well, and also, but you know what it rhymes with.
Elliott Kalan
[22:58] You know what bard rhymes with.
[22:59] Nard.
[22:59] Yeah, if it didn't rhyme with nard, why even bother?
Dan McCoy
[23:04] Stuart's dead.
[23:05] I do it.
[23:06] Lastly, I'll submit.
[23:06] This is why we are not freestyle rappers.
Stuart Wellington
[23:10] Where's my, what, Pulitzer?
[23:12] What do you get for rapping?
[23:13] Yeah, rap Pulitzer.
Elliott Kalan
[23:14] I mean, Kendrick Lamar got a Pulitzer, right?
[23:16] So that's for rap now.
[23:18] I would also submit, don't step to his funk, kick Wolfman in the junk.
[23:24] You could do that too.
[23:24] Yeah.
[23:24] Oh, man.
Dan McCoy
[23:26] We got there.
[23:27] Took us a while.
[23:28] That made it happen.
[23:28] The best though.
[23:30] Okay.
[23:33] All right.
[23:35] Here's number six and a little disclaimer here.
[23:37] In general, I've been trying to avoid lyrics that are total giveaways, but this song.
Elliott Kalan
[23:42] I mean, one of them mentioned proton packs, I think.
Dan McCoy
[23:45] I know.
[23:46] But I don't.
[23:47] But it didn't say Ghostbusters in it.
[23:49] Yeah.
[23:49] This song kind of makes it impossible.
[23:52] So in this case, I have replaced a couple of words with just blank.
[23:56] Okay.
[23:57] It was just prime time.
[24:00] I know you'll never forget what he did to the girl with the TV set.
[24:04] Oh, yeah, yeah.
[24:05] But you can't stop blank because he's cool as ice.
[24:08] Come right back at you to slash and slice.
[24:11] Like a jitsu blade or a blender, he'll blitz you.
[24:14] Blank, blank is putting on the Ritz.
[24:17] Go.
[24:18] Elliot.
[24:19] Yeah.
[24:20] Sorry.
[24:20] Is this Nightmare on Elm Street 3?
[24:22] Oh, Stuart, can you steal?
Elliott Kalan
[24:24] Oh, I got the number wrong.
[24:25] Got the number wrong.
[24:26] Four?
[24:26] Yes.
[24:27] This is four.
[24:28] Which one was three?
[24:29] Dream Master.
[24:30] I thought.
[24:30] Dream Warriors is three.
[24:32] Dream Master is four.
[24:32] You know what?
[24:32] I got it mixed up.
[24:33] I thought it was Dream Warriors.
[24:34] Oh, okay.
[24:34] But it's Dream Master.
Stuart Wellington
[24:35] The theme song for three is Dokken, dude.
Dan McCoy
[24:39] Elliot, you buzzed in first, though.
Stuart Wellington
[24:40] Maybe they did both.
[24:41] Maybe they did both.
Dan McCoy
[24:43] Elliot, it's the first to buzz in.
[24:45] Can you rescue it with the name of the song?
[24:47] I'm going to call it Freddy Rap.
[24:49] No.
[24:49] Stuart, do you have it?
[24:51] Nightmare on My Street.
[24:52] Of course.
[24:53] Of course.
[24:53] Guys, this is the Fat Boys.
[24:55] Are you ready for Freddy?
[24:57] Oh, yeah.
[24:58] That makes sense.
Elliott Kalan
[24:58] You know what?
[24:59] I forgot that that song existed.
[25:01] But the minute you mentioned Fat Boys, I'm like, oh, I remember the song now.
[25:04] Yeah.
Dan McCoy
[25:04] And that's right.
Elliott Kalan
[25:06] Three was Dokken, four was Fat Boys, and five was Stephen Sondheim, did the song at the end.
[25:10] Yeah.
Dan McCoy
[25:11] It was filled with internal rhymes.
[25:13] Yeah.
Stuart Wellington
[25:13] He did the book, but the actual performance was, come up with a joke.
Elliott Kalan
[25:20] Sondheim would have done the music, and maybe like James Latham would have done the book.
[25:23] Yeah, there you go.
[25:23] Or Lapine, whatever his, however you pronounce his name.
Dan McCoy
[25:26] So, yeah.
[25:27] That's the song was Are You Ready for Freddy?
[25:28] David Latham, who did Spare Bullets?
[25:30] Jesus Christ.
[25:31] Yeah, yeah.
Elliott Kalan
[25:31] No, no.
[25:32] Jonathan Latham, author of Motherless Brooklyn, among other books.
[25:34] Yeah.
Dan McCoy
[25:36] The song was Are You Ready for Freddy?
[25:38] I have a follow-up question.
[25:40] Yeah.
[25:40] Shoot.
[25:41] Are you ready for Freddy?
Stuart Wellington
[25:43] You know what?
[25:44] I think I kind of am.
[25:47] Like, he showed up in my dreams and be like, calm down, dog.
[25:50] Let's just hang out.
Elliott Kalan
[25:52] Let's talk.
[25:52] I have a lot of bad dreams about work, so it would be a real refreshing thing to have a bad dream about Freddy.
[25:59] Because it would be like, oh, this is new.
Stuart Wellington
[26:01] He'd be your boss in the dream.
[26:02] Oh, no, he would be.
[26:03] That's true.
[26:03] He'd be like, here's some more stuff.
Elliott Kalan
[26:07] But then I call human resources on him and get him fired.
[26:09] Yeah, exactly.
Stuart Wellington
[26:10] Yeah, but like, yeah, the intercom doesn't work, so you know, that's horrible.
Elliott Kalan
[26:13] I don't remember why.
[26:14] I had to.
[26:14] Oh, so this is why.
[26:15] Oh, so I sent you guys this picture.
[26:17] I was visiting my wife's parents in Sonoma, California.
[26:20] In the local newspaper, there was a letter from a Fred Kruger about something.
[26:25] And I sent it to you guys.
[26:26] And I was saying to my kids, oh, I guess Freddy Kruger from the Nightmare on Elm Street movies.
[26:30] He retired and he moved up here to Northern California.
[26:32] And then my younger one, I made that mistake because my younger one was like, so what's
[26:36] his deal, Freddy Kruger?
[26:37] And I'm like, oh, well, he kills teenagers in their dreams.
[26:41] And he's got like a sweater and a hat and a glove with blades.
[26:44] And he goes, why does he kill teenagers in his dream?
[26:46] And they're like, oh, he's mad at their parents.
[26:48] And he goes, well, why doesn't he kill the parents in their dreams?
[26:49] I'm like, oh, it's good.
[26:51] I didn't want to talk about him being a child blaster.
[26:52] So I'm like, let's not worry about it.
Dan McCoy
[26:55] Yeah.
[26:55] It's a power thing.
[26:57] Yeah.
[26:58] Well, I'm sure everyone's very curious about the game element of this.
[27:03] Yeah.
[27:03] So I want to give them a quick update that Elliot and Stuart are currently tied at three
[27:08] each.
[27:08] So it's anyone's game.
[27:12] So let's go into song seven, the penultimate song.
[27:17] That means the last one.
[27:19] No, I'm just kidding.
[27:20] Doesn't mean it's the second to last one.
[27:22] Looking for human flesh to rip my teeth through.
[27:26] Other fish in the sea, but barracudas ain't equal.
[27:30] To a half human predator created by a needle.
[27:33] Jet black eyes, baby.
[27:35] They stare while you sleep.
[27:37] When your Titanic sinks, I'm the one you're going to meet.
[27:40] Hearing terrified screams, they surround my team.
[27:45] All you see is trails of blood.
[27:47] Even God won't intervene.
[27:50] Go.
[27:50] Stuart.
[27:51] Oh, man.
[27:52] Deep Lucy, baby.
[27:53] Damn it.
[27:53] Yeah.
[27:54] And do you know what the song's title is?
[27:55] Deepest Bluest?
[27:57] Yes, it is correct.
[27:58] Deepest Bluest.
[27:59] Parentheses.
[27:59] My head is.
[28:00] Shark's fan.
[28:00] Shark's fan, yeah.
Elliott Kalan
[28:01] I wish I had laughed at the line about even God won't intervene.
Stuart Wellington
[28:05] It's so bleak there.
[28:07] It does.
Elliott Kalan
[28:08] So intense.
[28:09] It was this whole game I've been waiting for Deep Blue Sea to come up because I knew it was going to happen.
[28:14] And I missed it.
[28:15] I lost my moment.
Dan McCoy
[28:16] Well, maybe you can get some, no actual points, but some, you know, like good feeling points by answering the follow-up question, which is,
[28:26] in what ways is LL Cool J's hat like a shark's fan?
[28:30] And be specific.
Elliott Kalan
[28:34] Well, it's on the top of his head.
[28:36] Uh-huh.
[28:36] And the shark's fan is, I guess it's on their back.
Stuart Wellington
[28:38] It's more on the back, right?
[28:39] Yeah.
[28:39] Is it like, is his hat like, is he like going through a crowd and like his hat is sticking up?
[28:45] His hat's the only thing that's visible?
[28:47] Yeah.
[28:47] Maybe.
[28:48] It's a pretty like, it's like a skullcap kind of hat.
Elliott Kalan
[28:51] It doesn't, it doesn't peak that much, right?
Stuart Wellington
[28:53] Yeah.
[28:53] Yeah.
[28:55] Maybe he has a poor perception of what his hat looks like.
Elliott Kalan
[28:59] Yeah.
[29:00] I mean, I'm hearing a lot of reasons why the hat is not like a shark's fan.
[29:03] I feel like we're not answering the question properly.
Dan McCoy
[29:05] He uses it sort of like, you know, as a stabilizer.
[29:08] It's a similar color.
Elliott Kalan
[29:09] I mean, maybe he, maybe he tried, he thinks he looks like a dolphin when he wears a similar hat.
[29:13] The sharks and dolphins have similar fins, you know?
Stuart Wellington
[29:15] It's not like a shark's fan though.
[29:16] It's like a dolphin's fin.
Elliott Kalan
[29:17] But their fins are very similar.
[29:18] They're both dorsal fins.
[29:19] It's convergent evolution.
[29:20] They're made, they're general body shape.
Stuart Wellington
[29:22] I think it's based on color and maybe texture.
[29:25] But I would have to see the hat in person.
[29:27] I think the hat is black.
Dan McCoy
[29:28] I mean, I guess some sharks are pretty dark.
[29:31] But most of them are in the gray.
Elliott Kalan
[29:32] Does the hat replace its teeth whenever it loses them?
Stuart Wellington
[29:36] Dan, he asked you a question about the hat.
[29:38] Yeah.
Dan McCoy
[29:39] I don't think a shark's fin replaces the teeth though.
[29:43] Like a shark replaces his teeth.
[29:44] I'm just trying to expand.
Stuart Wellington
[29:45] Sometimes people make soup out of LL Cool J's hat.
[29:48] That must be it.
[29:48] That's what it is.
Elliott Kalan
[29:49] Is they catch LL Cool J, they remove the hat, throw the rest of him back in the ocean to bleed to death.
[29:54] And then they make soup out of the hat.
[29:56] Yeah.
Dan McCoy
[29:57] At weddings.
[29:57] Yeah.
[29:58] Before we get to eight, I want to apologize to Stuart.
[30:01] Psycho Gore Man, of course, has a rap like this.
[30:04] I was fucking waiting for this shit.
[30:05] At the end of the, I was going to put it in at the end as a bonus.
[30:08] But no one on the internet has seen fit to transcribe those lyrics.
[30:12] And I was too lazy to do it.
[30:14] So someone get on that.
Elliott Kalan
[30:15] I was going to say, that is a laziness issue.
[30:16] Because you could have done that.
Dan McCoy
[30:17] Yeah.
[30:17] Yeah.
[30:18] So his name is PG or something like that.
[30:21] PG Woodhouse.
[30:22] Yeah.
[30:22] Yeah.
[30:22] PG what?
[30:23] Yeah.
[30:23] Psycho Gore Man, PG.
[30:25] No, I'm saying the name of the song.
[30:26] So look it up.
[30:28] It's a funny video.
Elliott Kalan
[30:29] But that is what it stood for, right?
[30:31] Psycho Gore Man, Woodhouse.
Dan McCoy
[30:32] Yes.
[30:33] Yeah.
[30:33] Yeah.
[30:35] So.
[30:35] Wodehouse.
Stuart Wellington
[30:37] I'm saying Wodehouse this whole time.
[30:38] No, no.
[30:39] It's Roadhouse.
Dan McCoy
[30:40] PG Roadhouse.
[30:43] Be nice.
[30:44] That's what he always said.
[30:45] The thing is, Roadhouse is not rated PG.
[30:47] I'm thinking of like a version of this where Dalton has a gentleman's gentleman who actually
[30:53] solves the problem of Ben Gazzara for him.
Elliott Kalan
[30:56] Birdie Wooster is the bouncer, but Jeeves is the one who's always doing the actual fighting.
[31:00] Yeah.
Dan McCoy
[31:01] So that's a little, that's a hint.
[31:04] Okay.
[31:05] The last one is not Psycho Gore Man.
Stuart Wellington
[31:06] Okay.
[31:06] Good.
[31:07] So I don't spend the whole time trying to recognize.
Elliott Kalan
[31:10] But is it the rap that's at the end of Jeeves and Wooster?
[31:12] Yeah.
Dan McCoy
[31:14] His name is Jeeves.
Elliott Kalan
[31:15] Can you believe this guy named Jeeves solves all the problems for his man like these?
[31:20] Mm-hmm.
Dan McCoy
[31:21] Okay.
[31:22] Well, here we go.
[31:24] Last, last song.
[31:25] It goes like this.
[31:27] Well, excuse me, Copper, Mr. Crime Stopper.
[31:30] What is wrong with what we're doing?
[31:32] We just like to dance in our goatskin pants around this ancient ruin.
[31:38] Now it's not so funny that it costs big money.
[31:40] If you ever have to hire a lawyer, it's my duty to inform you and my pleasure to warn you.
[31:46] We'll provide one for you.
[31:48] Go.
[31:51] Big goatskin pants hint in there.
[31:54] Mm-hmm.
[31:55] Mm-hmm.
[31:56] Oh, man.
[31:57] Excuse me, Copper, Mr. Crime Stopper.
Elliott Kalan
[32:01] I mean, all I'm thinking of is, what's it?
[32:07] Is the Wicker Man.
[32:08] But there's no rhyme at the end of the Wicker Man, right?
Stuart Wellington
[32:11] This is like the Dragnet movie or something.
Elliott Kalan
[32:13] You know what?
[32:13] I'll say it.
[32:14] Elliot, the Wicker Man remake.
Stuart Wellington
[32:16] No, it's not that.
[32:18] Stuart, do you want to buzz in?
[32:19] I don't think I'm anywhere close.
[32:21] Yeah, I'll buzz in.
[32:22] Was this?
[32:24] Oh, man.
[32:25] No, I know this one.
[32:27] Terms of Endearment.
[32:30] Guys, you should have gone with your gut there, Stuart.
Dan McCoy
[32:32] It's Dragnet.
[32:33] It's Dragnet.
[32:33] Oh, okay.
[32:34] Can I buzz in?
Elliott Kalan
[32:35] Elliot, for the title.
[32:36] Yes.
Dan McCoy
[32:36] City of Crime.
[32:37] It is City of Crime from Dragnet.
[32:42] My follow-up question.
Elliott Kalan
[32:43] I didn't remember the goatskin pants, but it's been a long time since I saw Dragnet.
Dan McCoy
[32:47] Yeah.
[32:47] If you'll recall, Dabney Coleman, the pornographer, runs a cult of some kind.
[32:55] Right.
[32:56] Or he's associated with it.
[32:57] I don't know whether he actually runs it or he gets kidnapped as part of it.
[33:01] I don't know.
[33:02] I think it's actually maybe the moral majority of people who are behind it.
[33:05] Uh-huh.
[33:05] I don't know.
[33:06] They wear goatskin pants.
[33:07] That's all I remember.
Elliott Kalan
[33:07] Sounds like we all have to watch Dragnet again.
[33:09] No.
[33:10] Yeah.
Dan McCoy
[33:11] Hear about the adventures of Pep's tree back.
[33:15] Sergeant Joe Friday.
[33:16] Follow-up question.
[33:18] Tom Hanks and Dan Aykroyd's Dancing in the City of Crime video was choreographed by Paula
[33:23] Abdul.
[33:25] On a scale of zero to ten MC Scat Cats, how well do you think they did?
Elliott Kalan
[33:31] Are we handicapping them at all?
Dan McCoy
[33:33] Because they don't have the natural skills of Paula Abdul.
[33:36] They are performers.
[33:38] You know?
Stuart Wellington
[33:39] Dan Aykroyd at least danced a little in the Blues Brothers.
[33:45] Tom Hanks and he danced a little bit in Nothing But Trouble when he was sitting in that chair
[33:50] dancing along the Ghostbusters.
Elliott Kalan
[33:51] And in the Ghostbusters music video, they're kind of like strutting down the street.
Stuart Wellington
[33:57] I would say in the opening credits of the real Ghostbusters animated show, they're dancing
[34:03] down the street before Slimer slimes the ground underneath them in the ball.
[34:07] That's what yeah.
[34:08] It definitely applies to the real life Dan Aykroyd's dancing ability.
[34:10] So I would say I'm going to give him a ten out of ten.
Elliott Kalan
[34:13] Okay.
[34:14] Okay.
[34:14] Wow.
[34:14] I was going to give them an eight, which was solid, but limited, but ten.
[34:18] Okay, great.
[34:19] Yeah.
[34:19] Let's go with that.
Stuart Wellington
[34:19] Interesting.
[34:20] I can't believe I guessed Dragnet and then doubted myself because I've never seen the movie.
[34:28] You've never seen it?
[34:29] No.
Elliott Kalan
[34:30] Dan, don't act like it's crazy that he's never seen Dragnet.
Dan McCoy
[34:33] I mean, it's kind of crazy just because of like our age.
[34:36] Like that movie was on TV a lot.
[34:37] It was on TV all the time.
[34:38] That's true.
Stuart Wellington
[34:40] Yeah, I was like reading books and stuff.
[34:43] Were you reading books about Dragnet?
[34:45] Yeah.
Elliott Kalan
[34:46] It was often played on a WPIX New York's movie station.
[34:51] You know what I'll say about that movie?
[34:52] Go on.
[34:53] It's fine.
[34:54] Oh, wow.
Dan McCoy
[34:55] You'll get a little bit of enjoyment out of Dragnet.
[34:58] Dan Aykroyd does a funny Joe Friday fast talking guy.
[35:02] Yeah.
[35:03] Tom Hanks is Tom Hanks.
[35:04] He's lovable.
Elliott Kalan
[35:05] I mean, it plays into their strengths.
[35:06] It's silly.
[35:08] Yeah.
[35:08] I think they made the right choice by doing a comedy of it
[35:11] and not doing a straightforward gritty Dragnet.
[35:15] Although they did do a gritty Dragnet show years later
[35:17] with Ed O'Neill, right?
Dan McCoy
[35:19] I don't know.
[35:20] But I will say this.
[35:22] Stuart, even though you've beaten yourself up
[35:24] for your cultural oversight.
[35:26] Yeah.
[35:26] You still have five points to Elliot's.
[35:29] Four points.
[35:30] Making you the wrap-up wrap champion for 2025.
Stuart Wellington
[35:34] Elliot, can you give me a little wrap-up wrap
[35:36] for my victory in this game?
[35:39] Oh, please don't.
[35:40] Let's see.
[35:42] Stu is the winner.
[35:44] Elliot's the winner.
[35:44] My name is Stu, and I'm here to say,
[35:45] I win these games every day.
[35:48] Okay.
[35:48] Stu is the winner.
[35:50] Elliot's the winner.
Elliott Kalan
[35:51] Elliot's the winner.
[35:51] Elliot's the winner.
[35:52] I'm going to try to start with a chicken dinner.
[35:54] Yeah.
[35:54] I'll give you a Stu with it.
[35:55] So your name is Stu,
[35:56] and you're here to say,
[35:58] you won the game in a major way.
[35:59] Yeah.
[35:59] Yep.
Stuart Wellington
[36:01] And then Elliot stinks every way.
[36:06] There's a long kazoo break.
Elliott Kalan
[36:11] Okay.
Dan McCoy
[36:11] Good job.
Elliott Kalan
[36:12] And Dan has his spoken word part.
[36:13] You know, baby.
[36:14] You know Stuart's the winner.
[36:16] Elliot didn't get as many points.
[36:17] That's the way it goes sometimes.
[36:19] But forget both of them.
Stuart Wellington
[36:20] Come here with me.
[36:23] Wow.
[36:23] A heel turn for my hype man over here.
Dan McCoy
[36:27] I'm just, you know,
[36:28] playing into the sensual sounds here.
[36:31] I love it.
[36:33] Anyway.
[36:34] Well, thank you for taking part in that nonsense.
[36:38] And thank you, the listener,
[36:39] for taking part in that nonsense by listening to it.
[36:43] And if you want to listen to more nonsense,
[36:45] go over to MaximumFun.org.
[36:47] Listen to some of the other nonsense shows.
[36:49] And you're going to put all those raps
[36:51] on a special Spotify playlist.
[36:53] That's right.
[36:53] That's available.
[36:54] You should.
[36:54] You should.
[36:55] Yeah.
[36:55] Maybe we'll see if I remember or have.
[36:58] Put the link in the show notes.
[36:59] I know this is the guy who was too lazy
[37:01] to transcribe the rap.
[37:03] Although I did spend, you know,
[37:05] multiple hours writing these things.
[37:08] So for the, anyway.
[37:11] I don't need to justify myself to you guys.
[37:13] No, you work real hard.
Elliott Kalan
[37:15] Do we pay you on an hourly basis?
[37:16] Like what's going on?
[37:17] You're establishing your time card here?
Dan McCoy
[37:20] I just, you know,
[37:21] I have a lot of internalized shame.
[37:22] Okay.

Description

Back in the 80s and 90s, movies LOVED to end with a rap song that went over the plot to the movie you just saw. On this mini, Dan quizzes Stu and Elliott about some examples of wrap-up raps, followed by discussion questions to really dig into this particular cinematic-musical form.
