The internet reads my mind I swear……..I was thinkin about Hobo Humping Slobo Babe the other day, and how much it turned me on at age thirteen……..it felt like a forbidden pleasure, a “your not supposed to like this but you do ” kind of feeling.

Ubangi……..that’s an innuendo, isn’t it? Naughty girl!

Oh, that is neat, had forgotten about Ubangi! And that’s Orup! I never knew he was cool once.
He would later turn in to this:

The last clip is the intro for a music video chart show called Popitopp what aired late 80s early nineties here in Sweden..

Yep — Beavis & Butthead make up my memories of this, too. :P

I first saw Whale as the video-within-the-video of Beavis & Butthead (also where I first discovered Daisy Chainsaw). I remember how somehow they opened up for Blur at Irving Plaza. Oh the 90s.

Hobo Humpin’ Slobo Babe was the first video I looked up on youtube. For years I was half convinced that I had dreamed up those men in tinfoil skirts…

I REMEMBER WHALE!

I got their collaboration with Tricky, “Young Dumb n’ Full of Cum,” on a mix tape from my friend Holly in 1998 (though it was mis-labeled as Hobo-Humping Slobo Babe) and subsequently made my parents buy me their All Disco Dance Must End In Broken Bones for my birthday. I loved this album so much! I recently dug it up during my move out of LA and gave it another listen while packing.

I’ve never heard of Ubangi, though. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS! I’ve got the perfect wake-up music for this morning.
