The Never Ending Story


Limahl of Kajagoogoo doing the title Giorgio Moroder tune from the German "Never Ending Story", 1984. Known in Germany as "Die dampfende Haufen". This song is better than the entire movie! Also, fuck this movie for giving me existencialist crises at age 8, "The Nothing"... the entire dimension being destroyed, no thanks! Notice that most of the children's fantasy movies of this period involve giant cataclysms & prophecies... Dark Crystal, Time Bandits, Legend, the Last Unicorn & um... the Never Ending Story. Thus implanting the concept of imminent doom into my generation & selling them on the carbon tax, the Mayan calendar & a messianic president.

Ace of Spades



Motörhead performing Ace of Spades on the Young Ones (1984) The Young Ones incorporated musical numbers into the show in a very cool way, so that it was part of the story. The show introduced me to Motorhead & the Damned! How about that?
