36. "I Love You, But I Ain't Gonna Be Your Fool"- Ann Margrock

― Ruud Comes to Haarvest (Ken L), Friday, 29 September 2006 17:39 (nineteen years ago)

um, i was going to merely insert a song, but then began laughing over the formality of the following explanation:

The Wyld Stallyns (pronounced "Wild Stallions") is the fictional metal band from the film that later proves responsible for bringing peace and harmony to the world and creating a utopia on Earth. The founding members were Bill S. Preston, Esq. and Ted "Theodore" Logan. They are later joined by Elizabeth and Joanna, two princesses from medieval England, The Grim Reaper, and "Station", a Martian, as well as two "good robot"s modeled after Bill and Ted.

In the sequel Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey, the villain De Nomolos tries unsuccessfully to stop the band from creating a peaceful future by replacing Bill and Ted with robotic doubles. Later, Bill and Ted destroy the robots and make their world-wide debut at the 4th Annual San Dimas Battle of the Bands. As predicted by time-traveller Rufus, they bring peace to the world and eventually play a sellout tour on the planet Mars.

One of the bands they competed against in the Battle of the Bands was real-life California band Primus, led by Les Claypool. The song Wyld Stallyns performs at the competition was "God Gave Rock And Roll To You", which in real life was originally performed by Argent, and later covered by KISS. It was the KISS version of the song that was used in the actual movie.

i'm too easy to entertain.

Let's go in reverse
woah, in reverse
Let's go in reverse
woah in reverse
If you'll take me, I will have you
In reverse, let's go-oah
In reverse, woah-oah

Sometimes things are not what they seem
but sometimes they totally are
I say I don't know what I'm doing,
but am I going too far?
I know I am, but isn't it quite okay--
if I frame it like this and I do it this way?
I'm a sly dog and let sleeping dogs lie
between the sheets, between the cheeks
let me kiss you on your brown eye
with my fleshy utensil

Let's go in reverse
woah, in reverse
Let's go in reverse
woah in reverse
If you'll take me, I will have you
In reverse, let's go-oah
In reverse, woah-oah
