Search engines are not your friend in this matter. Try to follow this train of thought; someone saw a movie where a girl loves a monster with bundles of knives for hands, and said to themselves, &#8220;if only he&#8217;d fist her&#8221;. Whereas any sane person would see a doctor at this revelation, or at least interpret &#8220;penis hands&#8221; as finger-dicks, this man went the full distance, creating a goth Johnny Depp with vaguely cock-like stumps. The ends of Edward&#8217;s arms look like dongs infected with the bullhead clap. It is revolting and incredulous when women hungrily fellate or insert these hideous appendages, yet they do. It&#8217;s like an empowerment video for amputees and people maimed in industrial accidents. And perhaps most Lovecraftian of all, there is a giant Trident wrapper hung on a wall like a painting. Don&#8217;t ask what happens when Edward jizzes. That way lies madness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In tiny letters on the bottom of panel one, it indicates &#8220;Chu-Bops&#8221;. Around 1980, <strong>Chu-Bops<\/strong> appeared on the shelves of sweet shops, and what really made them appealing was that the album art was shrunk down to tiny size at great definition, so essentially they could be miniature props. They were roughly Barbie-sized, which girls loved. They came with a pink circle of bubble gum, embossed with grooves to look like a tiny record. I had&nbsp;<em>Tattoo You<\/em> by the Rolling Stones, and&nbsp;<em>Business As Usual<\/em> by Men At Work, among others. I&#8217;d love to share a picture here with you, but you&#8217;ll have to search it out yourself, as literally nothing relating to them is labeled for reuse. Let&#8217;s move along before I get bilious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I realize that I return to the well of shooting myself (or others) in the head quite often. Look at it like my version of Homer Simpson strangling Bart. Cartoons often used extreme violence as a punchline when I was a kid, because within the context, it&#8217;s funny out of nowhere. It was a safe space to appreciate conflict. For a blackout gag, the losers would scream &#8220;NOW HE TELLS US&#8221; in unison, before shooting themselves in the temple. There have been guns and heads since before I was born. I have a deep appreciation and abiding respect for their work as a comedy team. And as for violence, the Three Stooges didn&#8217;t exactly find fame using Robert&#8217;s Rules of Order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The &#8220;greatest hits&#8221; collection I still have is&nbsp;<em>Strange Magic: The Best of Electric Light Orchestra<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bandsiusetalike.com\/biul\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/elo.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"350\" height=\"350\" data-attachment-id=\"1021\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.bandsiusetalike.com\/biul\/electric-light-orchestra\/elo\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bandsiusetalike.com\/biul\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/elo.jpg?fit=350%2C350&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"350,350\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-title=\"elo\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Not bad.&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bandsiusetalike.com\/biul\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/elo.jpg?fit=350%2C350&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bandsiusetalike.com\/biul\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/elo.jpg?resize=350%2C350\" alt=\"Not bad.\" class=\"wp-image-1021\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bandsiusetalike.com\/biul\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/elo.jpg?w=350&amp;ssl=1 350w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bandsiusetalike.com\/biul\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/elo.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bandsiusetalike.com\/biul\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/elo.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Not bad.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reason I bought this double CD, which I vaguely recall being bargain priced, was the hit single &#8220;Do Ya&#8221;. I still find it to be their best song:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"youtube-player\" title=\"YouTube video player\" width=\"500\" height=\"282\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/p1Y-rfbzmgY?version=3&#038;rel=1&#038;showsearch=0&#038;showinfo=1&#038;iv_load_policy=1&#038;fs=1&#038;hl=en-US&#038;autohide=2&#038;wmode=transparent\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"border:0;\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts allow-same-origin allow-popups allow-presentation allow-popups-to-escape-sandbox\"><\/iframe><\/span>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It&#8217;s easier to appreciate ELO thirty years on, outside of their imitators and sound-alikes. Airbrushed album covers with spaceships and cursive type treatments were everywhere in the &#8217;70s. Bombastic rock opera with a string section was ubiquitous. Children used to grow up learning a classical instrument, which made finding skilled musicians a less daunting task. Now that money goes towards giving kids laptops. I&#8217;m sure that&#8217;ll produce results of some kind one day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Anyway, I mentioned this elsewhere, but the song that got stuck in my head and made me want to eat a bullet was &#8220;Confusion&#8221; and not &#8220;So Serious&#8221;. These songs feature synthesizer tones that were embraced in the &#8217;80s, but now sound like the height of&nbsp;<em>fromage<\/em>. DEVO was a real horror show around this time for the same reasons. No wonder Tom Scholz was so pissed off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ironically, I&#8217;ve never gotten &#8220;Can&#8217;t Get It Out Of My Head&#8221; stuck in my head. The mediocre design for&nbsp;<em>Eldorado<\/em>, the album it hails from, was provided by none other than Mrs. Ozzy Osbourne.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bandsiusetalike.com\/biul\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/elo2.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"350\" height=\"350\" data-attachment-id=\"1027\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.bandsiusetalike.com\/biul\/electric-light-orchestra\/elo2\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bandsiusetalike.com\/biul\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/elo2.jpg?fit=350%2C350&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"350,350\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-title=\"elo2\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;SHARON!!!!&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bandsiusetalike.com\/biul\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/elo2.jpg?fit=350%2C350&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bandsiusetalike.com\/biul\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/elo2.jpg?resize=350%2C350\" alt=\"SHARON!!!!\" class=\"wp-image-1027\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bandsiusetalike.com\/biul\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/elo2.jpg?w=350&amp;ssl=1 350w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bandsiusetalike.com\/biul\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/elo2.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.bandsiusetalike.com\/biul\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/elo2.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">SHARON!!!!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ELO is also one of the only things that made the movie&nbsp;<em>Xanadu<\/em> worth sitting through, but that&#8217;s another article.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_hide_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_featured_image_duplicate_dismissed":0,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[2,3,6,10,46],"tags":[42,266,105,47,774,771,16,403,769,767,766,768,772,770,20,24,363,713,773],"class_list":["post-1014","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-bad-influences","category-classic-comix","category-faint-signals","category-nostalgic-obsessions","category-thousand-listen-club","tag-tbt","tag-1970s","tag-1980s","tag-bands-i-useta-like","tag-cartoon-violence","tag-chu-bops","tag-comic","tag-devo","tag-edward-penishands","tag-electric-light-orchestra","tag-elo","tag-jeff-lynne","tag-sharon-osbourne","tag-soap","tag-strips","tag-suicide","tag-the-simpsons","tag-tom-scholz","tag-xanadu"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p53HmY-gm","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_likes_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":446,"url":"https:\/\/www.bandsiusetalike.com\/biul\/in-praise-of-screaming-women\/","url_meta":{"origin":1014,"position":0},"title":"In Praise Of Screaming Women","author":"MattyBoy","date":"07\/30\/2015","format":false,"excerpt":"I used to call myself a horror-movie buff in the 1990s, so I've heard all the grievances about \"scream queens\" and \"final girls\".
