Except rap...and techno...

You'd be right if "Get Freaky" didn't fit snugly into both of those genres as well.

Wil 05-16-2012 09:55 AM

I like the way you assume STM is incapable of irony.

Sekto Springs 05-16-2012 10:02 AM

Because he is.

I actually like "Get Freaky" anyway. Or I did when I was 10. I wonder how I'd feel about it now.

Edit: Okay, I re-listened. I still like it in a "we all thought Space Jam was the best movie ever" kind of way. However, the video retroactively killed Oddworld.

The Japanese Abe-a-GoGo ad is still better than sex though.

If I was incapable of irony, what was my last post, m'dear?

Sekto Springs 05-16-2012 11:00 AM

An in-depth retrograding of the music of yesteryear.

MeechMunchie 05-16-2012 11:29 AM

You have a "derpy" MLP avatar. You have disposed of your ability to complain about others' subtlety.

I wonder what the Get Freaky guys do nowadays... I bet one of them is still trying to pursue a music career.

Sekto Springs 05-16-2012 11:49 AM

I specifically chose Derpy for that very reason.

As for Music Instructor, their wiki says they're still active, but they haven't made any music since 2000. Apparently "Get Freaky" went Platinum in Germany.

Jordan 05-16-2012 02:20 PM

I bought the Get Freaky CD solely because it was kind of Oddworld merchandise. Bad idea.

The music video was great in the sense that the performers were placed into Oddworld scenes, I really liked that.

Crashpunk 05-18-2012 05:38 AM

I thought it was horrible.

Why is that great? Why would you like that? I'm seriously interested.

DarkHoodness 05-18-2012 11:59 AM

It makes me wonder what target audience OWI were aiming at as a way of promoting their franchise when they thought of doing that.

Actually did OWI commission it or did they just agree to the request of some rap artists?

Wil 05-18-2012 12:02 PM

Almost certainly the latter.

Because I just did.

Lorne is just a huge fan of obscure German techno/hip-hop groups.

Well, you're a bad person who has no taste then.

For crying out loud, there wasn't even any driving.

JennyGenesis 05-18-2012 01:20 PM

Yeah why didn't they get in a mine car?

MeechMunchie 05-18-2012 02:22 PM

Serious answer: Minecars didn't appear until Abe's Exoddus.

JennyGenesis 05-18-2012 02:24 PM

And part of the music video had the performers walking through Necrum Mines...

MeechMunchie 05-18-2012 02:27 PM

I only remember the 30 seconds in the Monsaic Sacntum. I'd assumed it was made some time between AO and AE. I was wrong, obviously.

Serious answer: Minecars don't appear in any 3D cutscenes.

Wait... what?
There was no minecar in AO at all. The only thing that even remotely resembled one are the rolling wheel traps in the Paramonian Temple.

The scene in Necrum Mines was in 2D.

MeechMunchie 05-18-2012 02:48 PM

I still haven't watched the video and have no intention of doing so.

Oh sorry. I got confused. You meant you only watched the first 30 seconds of the video.

Okay, that makes sense. Yes, if you watched the whole video, you would have seen that all of the cutscenes used are from AE, including the Monsaic Sanctum one.

Ooooooh I may have a (little) present for you guys and gals next week :D (that is if the management lets me).

JennyGenesis 05-19-2012 05:53 AM

Get Freaky in HD by any chance?

pupbenny 05-19-2012 07:19 AM

I hope it's.... something really good!! :D :D

sheridanm962 05-19-2012 07:31 AM

I look forward to it Glitch!

Don't glitch us on this one :tard:

If you say so, though I think you've missed the point of our entire conversation about the music video.

pupbenny 05-19-2012 08:19 AM

Yeah.... well.... I didn't really look at that. :P
