ROLLER MAIDENS FROM OUTER SPACE - Red Greenback and The Blue Boys - "Everybody Seemed To Be Having More Fun Than Me" (1974)

Those "four beloved turkeys" Peter Bergmen, Phillip Proctor, David Ossman, and the guy in the spotlight tonight, Phil Austin, collectively known as "The Firesign Theatre" have probably had as much influence on what we do here as anybody or anything! Talk about movies for the mind, when they were on, those cats were the masters! So, that being said, tonight's special treat is just a snippet of what you will be in store for if you go out and Get Yourself a Copy of Phil Austin's solo release, "Roller Maidens From Outer Space!" Don't let that cover or any of these pictures fool you, this is one of THE most amazing things ever put on vinyl by musicians or comedians!

Joined by Proctor, Ossman, and Bergman, along with Michael C. Gwynne, and the inspirational Oona Elliot, this is a wild tale combining TV series's "Carhook!," "The Regular and Ethyl Show," "Oooh Juicy," "Celebrity Roller Rassling," and the movie "The Roller Maidens From Outer Space" into one gigantic fireball of thrills!

Oona also gets credit for the Rollie Maidens outfits or lack thereof!

Somewhere in the middle of the whole thing, there is also a telethon going on, and one of the talents of the evening was Red Greenback and The Blue Boys performing "You've Got All Night To Wrestle A Live Nude Stewerdess In Flight"!!!! Not only is it probably THE best country song EVER recorded by anybody, it's also freakin' hilarious, and there is not one word wasted. These guys pack more into two minutes and 35 seconds than most people get out of a career, with lyrics like "I shouted Good Lord, then I wish I hadn't said it, if I had one brain them people coulda read it!" Lyrics by Phil Austin!

Oona Elliot gets credit for some writing, background vocals, costume design and is who Phil dedicates the album to!

The other beautiful "Space Angel" maidens are Krissi Ronning, Jennifer Kampen, Elizabeth Grand, and Lynn Taylor!

Phil Austin does the vocals and plays guitar, and is joined by musicians Henry Diltz on Banjo, Douglas Hatlelid on Bass, Cyrus Faryar on guitar and Lee Vaunce on percussion!

My highest recommendation is that you go and seek out at least a minimum of three of the Firesign Theatre's releases, "How Can You Be In Two Places At Once, When You're Not Anywhere At all," "Don't Crush That Dwarf, Hand Me The Pliers," and "I Think We're All Bozos On This Bus!!!"

And here's where you can get 'em!

I have no idea why Phil Austin is not "King Of The World" today, a guy with more talent in his toenail than 500 Picassos, I'm thinking he possibly sold his soul to the owners of those Almighty Switchblade Pitchforks in exchange for making this album!!

QUEEN KONG / Cine Art Produzione UK - 1976

Today, Tabonga shift into higher Halloween gear wif' maybe THE ABOMINATION of all flick of all time, although you would not know by look an' listen to Dungeon' still capture and soundclip. You really have to watch this train wreck for self to get full brunt o' how it could earn choice title like that!.. HEY, Tabonga not kidding here, this serious business and Tabonga not have any problem giving atomic-power mahonany-limb clothesline to anybloody who want to challenge statement! Bring it on!!

Dino De Laurentiis sue and prevent this embarrassing mess from theatrical release in US an' UK, with limited release in Germany and Italy only, then recently release on DVD! In 1990's, Japanese comedians redub it like Woody Allen' WHAT'S UP TIGER LILY!!! It is perfect flick for that, to be sure!

Ever'thing start when sissy dude actor quit because he being treated like piece-o-meat... By GURLZ!! Producer Luce Habit (Rula Lenska) need to find new boy-toy for her big plan to take boat to distant island and finish film.

Soundclip today is excellent, an' you can thank Eegah!! for that as always! Okay, band Pepper make all music for QUEEN KONG, and, is only movie Pepper ever work on!!! To be sure, like flick, well, irritating like Hell! and even have Benny Hill-style comedy segment!

Oh, look, here is hero Ray Fay who just steal KING KONG poster from local shop!.. Let exploitation begin!!!

When go on long ocean cruise, always fun to sing an' dance to kill some time!

Calypso Gurlz brought along on voyage because they know where island is. When they get near island, fund run out and producer make jump into water because cannot afford any more!

Calypso Gurlz get eat by gurl shark!.. Let exploitation continue!!

So, they make it ashore, then watch Ray change into sexy clothes for shoot.

They find village where sexy an' strange things going on!

.......WTF!!!

Okay, who not able to follow that, raise hand.

Definitely Tabonga favorite part of this flick! An' a few other flick too.

Alright!.. Now time for giant monster fights!

First QK have to battle dinosaur, then flying turkey, to save lover boy Ray from two big old set of hungry sharp teeth!

Don't ask Tabonga how, but Luce and her gurl get QK knock out, all chain up and back to London in one piece!

"Queen Kong!"

What else, she get loose...

Night shots wif' theater having 'Ronald Reagan' film festival four year before he become president! Bottom photo show inside of airplane cockpit.

"It's a madhouse!"

So, Luce gots the hots for Ray but he in love with QK!!! QK find room they staying and break in to give Ray helping hand. Funny thing, whenever Ray get into QK' hand, he act like trained hamster... Weird!

Probably best shot of QK!

Ray get on the horn and tell all gurl out there in radio an' TV land to fight male establishment and help Queen Kong to go back to island where she come from... And, it woik!!
