I know I've heard the chase-music from "The Series has landed" someplace else, but right now I can't remember where. Probably another movie.

The Beastie Boys song is called "Intergalactic". Incidentally there was a robot in the video for the song.

BitW: Beck- Two Turntables and a Microphone
      Art Garfuncel - I don't remember the song name, but it was sung by Art's ancestor and a robot.

Also, what song was Nixon singing when he played the guitar in A Head in the Polls?
Drippy may correct me but it was something like:
"Remember, what the (something) said...
Feed your head!"

I think it was "Somebody to Love" by Jefferson Airplane.

I think there was a Beck song called "Where it's at" or something

[Reply #19 on:]

Yup, that's correct

Yay! Tor is a genius!

Kif's Total Eclipse from the Heart.

"Sweet Georgia Brown" played with techno instruments when the Globetrotters landed on Earth.

I liked the fact that Leela called Sir-Mix-Lot classical music. I would call it classical rap.

And some 80's funk/rap beats playing in Luck of the Fryish.

Replace "Atlantic City" with "Atlanta", and you're right.

Although the gang DID visit Atlantic City in "Hell is Other Robots."

Since this thread went dormant, Black Flag's TV Party was featured in Bender Should Not Be Allowed on Television.

Edit: For that matter, so was Young MC's Bust a Move.
