One of my personal goals in life is to go to that intersection and sing that song.

[spatch]

I have made my plans.

In my dream, when I get to "La Brea Tar Pits," everybody on the street stops where they are and shouts "Tar Pits!" right back.

I call it the Reubens Texas Telephone Booth Effect.

How else are you going to prove to someone you're in Texas? Soundest method I've seen yet.

I lived about a mile from there for five years.

Speaking from experience, it's more fun to sing it on or at an intersection with every street mentioned in the song.

Shoes for Industry!

Park and lock it!
Not responsible!

That does not look like the La Brea Tar Pits!

[tablesaw]

That's because the La Brea Tar Pits are several miles away on Wilshire.

You're no fun.

Hush, child, you'll anger the overlords.

Is the rest of the film as fun as this ? Wonder if Hollywood Express has a copy.

It's wonderfully weird. Any movie that stars Herve Villachez as King of the Sixth Dimension is absolutely worth your time.

the fact that people knew where exactly this was from a tiny aerial image fucking sacres me.

SCARES

Well, I figured some Google Detectives would take the name of the lumber company and run with it.

But if you know the song then by gum you know it and any mention of it puts that irresistible beat into your head.

[ron_newman]

That's what I did - blow up the photo until I could read what was written on that rooftop, then fed the name of the company into Google.

I finally managed to drive by street sounds around here without getting that song stuck in my head about a month or two ago. Now I'm back to square one.

Bastard.

Also, there's a damn good sushi delivery place around that intersection.

There was definitely a photo in this post a few hours ago, and there isn't anymore.

I just heard that song. Came up on random play not an hour and a half ago.

There's a movie with Herve Villachez as the King of the Sixth Dimension? Things I've missed living in Europe all this time...
