I’m going to second the suggestion made by “I’m Not a Medium I’m a Petite” in today’s discussion:
“but of course it’s not just movies and TV… there is a musical canon as well.. for instance Frank Zappa and Talking Heads / David Byrne were the source of many many riffs.”
Last week we listed the movies MSTies should see if they hope to get most of the movie references, and that brought up the music MSTies should have heard, so let’s go there this week. INAMIAP took the band I was going to pick (my favorite band of all time, btw): The Talking Heads (“LOOK AT THESE HANDS!” ). So instead I will go in another direction and point out that this topic would also include music the Brains apparently hate, so I’ll name Morrissey…
What music would you add to the list?

1. I’m blanking on the episode, but I recall Tom Servo saying “Hey, Suzy Creamcheese, what’s got into you?” I knew that line from an acid-rock single by Teddy & Patches (featured on the Pebbles compilation _Volume 3: The Acid Gallery_), but a friend of mine told me it’s (also?) Zappa-related.
2. Mike, during the hippie/I-don’t-follow-you-my-friend-no-way scene in _San Francisco International_: “The answer, my friend, is *blow it out your @ss.*”
Tripolidene #151, “Suzy Creamcheese” was a song from the Mothers’ second album, Absolutely Free.
I always got a kick out of Joel dropping in “Peace on Earth was all it said…” from “One Tin Soldier”, AKA the theme from Billy Jack credited to the Original Cast. Tom’s propensity to ham it up whenever he did Cat Stevens “Where do the children playyy eee yaaaay eeee yaaayyy”… And Crow’s Anthony Newly impression (namely during the “Clown in the Sky” song), for having to perform “What Kind Of Fool Am I” in high school band.
You know, Brandy, she’s a fine girl, what a good wife she would be, but as previously mentioned, my life, my love, and my lady is the sea…
Appearing tonight: Slayer
Whoa, it’s the Iron Maiden dude
Hey, thank you tombrasher (comment #68) for the Pink Floyd’s Animals’ cover art comment. When someone (Mike?) says, “Hey, shouldn’t there be a pig up there?” I always find myself feeling like I am right in the theater with the bots. That is my psychic lawn dart.

Given the Brains admitted love for the Replacements (or, Mike, anyway), do you suppose they’re actually thinking of the Mats’ cover of Black Diamond (from the Pleased to Meet Me album), rather than the KISS original?
At least one time they were definitely refering to the KISS version. During the “Design for Dreaming” short, a car comes rising out of the ground, not unlike Peter Criss’s drumset during KISS performances of Black Diamond, and Mike starts signing the song. A video of the end of the song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnInyuvpdfA
Sorry I’m late, but I couldn’t afford a trap set mannn!

Elvis: “You are thinking of Let it Be.”
CP Elvis, I totally thought you were joking, I even LOL’d. Then I looked up the Replacements on Amazon and found out they had an album called “Let It Be.”
We are always learning, aren’t we?
And yes, the ‘Mats sound good doing KISS’ ‘Black Diamond.’ But I still think that, considering the large number of KISS refs over the years, the Brains were probably referencing the original tune.
“… LIKE A ROCK!”
late I know, but had to be mentioned:
In Skydivers – “this movie is very Hitchcockian… Robyn Hitchcockian” [Robyn Hitchcock (& The Egyptians)]
Normally I don’t read article on blogs, but I wish to say that this write-up very compelled me to try and do so! Your writing style has been amazed me. Thank you, quite nice post.
It is in point of fact a nice and useful piece of info. I am glad that you simply shared this useful information with us. Please keep us up to date like this. Thank you for sharing.
Definitely imagine that that you stated. Your favourite justification appeared to be on the web the easiest thing to consider of. I say to you, I definitely get annoyed while people think about worries that they plainly don’t understand about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also outlined out the entire thing with no need side effect , other people could take a signal. Will probably be again to get more. Thank you
