    Pee Wee's Big Adventure.

    1st Pic is at the movie lot getting directions to the sounds Tage where Pee Wee rescues his bike.

    I have no recollection of that scene. Of course I had not seen the film in 20 years or so.

  2. Might be easy
     
    Nighttime would find me in Rosa's cantina
    Music would play and Felina would whirl
    Blacker than night were the eyes of Felina
    Wicked and evil while casting a spell
    My love was deep for this Mexican maiden
    I was in love, but in vain I could tell
  3. Been playing Millenia, and recently reviewed it on Steam.

     

    There is a good game somewhere in Millenia. It has quite a few good concepts. The multiple currencies (Warfare, Wealth, Engineering, etc) is compelling. However, the Barbarian spam is horrendous. You need multiple armies to keep the barbarians in check, all of which costs Wealth. Oh, you do not have resources that helps you generate Wealth, Oh Well! Too Bad! The Barbarians do not go after the AI's towns, yet I have lost games because a wave of Barbs knock out my city, even when guarded. "Well, you should have built defenses!" True, but the AI should have to build defenses as well. But they do not have to. Have not seen an AI civ get knocked out by Barbs. They will attack an AI's troops, but only if they can not reach your troops. Barbs are basically another civ that is primarily focused on the player.

    Some other issues..
    Many of the resources are weak.
    Gross imbalances between National Spirits. Some are simply way stronger.
    Difficulty in gaining some currencies, primarily Engineering and Diplomacy, see National Spirits.
    The game tries to force you to be militaristic, since AI civs will forward settle you hard, especially since they do not have to deal with the Barbs like the player does.

    As I said, the game has great potential. I simply do not recommend the game in its current state. As the game gets refined, I will be more than happy to change my review.

    "Red Right Hand" -- Nick Cave does the the Peaky Binders version (though I remember it from "Songs In the Key of X" X-Files tribute album back in the 90's).

    You are correct. I am only aware of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds version.

  5. The song is Shake Hands with Beef- Primus

     

    Next attempt..

    Take a little walk to the edge of town
    And go across the tracks
    Where the viaduct looms
    Like a bird of doom
    As it shifts and cracks
    Where secrets lie in the border fires
    In the humming wires
    Hey man, you know
    You're never coming back
    Past the square, past the bridge
    Past the mills, past the stacks

  6. She's so fine
    She's so sweet
    Mom and Pop they raised her
    On huge slabs of meat
    She's fine

    A man of nine

    Water derby day

    Twenty six pumps on a Crossman

    And it's time to play

  7. This band is headed by one of the most innovative bass players that has ever lived.

     

    When I roamed young
    I'd scavenge around
    Every nook and cranny
    Of our little town

    Thunder kiss 65, beloved by strippers everywhere (so I've heard *cough cough*)

    Nah.. That honor goes to either Warrant's Cherry Pie, or Pour Some Sugar on Me by Def Leppard.
