I got this. Someone, please prove me wrong. I’ll PayPal you $82.76 if you find this.
There’s a cartoon from the 80s (could be late 70snor early 90s) called Howard The Duck.
You’ll never find it, because of the wildly popular movie bearing the same name.
The “Howard the duck” I’m referring to was a cartoon movie that was about a Mallard duck who got separated from his flock while they were migrating south for the winter.
Howard finds himself in NYC for the winter, where he spends time with rats and frogs. They show him around NYC via the sewers.
There’s a scene where they’re beneath the world trade center and Howard and the frog marvel at is enormity. Then, the frog reminds Howard that “Nothing lasts forever; especially in New York.” (This is an exact quote, sparing punctuation.)
The VHS I had ended with a music video by some band with the word “dogs” (junk yard dogs? Something like that) in their band name. The music video was trippy AF. There was barking in the song. The visuals were mostly patterns of colorful circles.
Like, this sounds like a fever dream, but if you’ve seen it and can locate it, it will make sense. I swear.
My memory is shit but I’d describe the art style as watercolor. Animated watercolor. Fro the 80s. So, yeah. Sorry.
I will someday inherit my parents nonsense and find the VHS amongst the masses and update this post (This is a lie).
If it helps, a place the frog takes Howard is a famous theater in NYC. that’s like a quarter of the whole short film.
I know this doesn’t help, but throughout this movie the sound effect of the ducks flying is just a person breathing with a small open mouth, swiping their tongue left to right. Do it, and you’ll get it.
Ok I’m back with another but I have the answer to this one.
I sent $20 inside a greeting card to Amon Amarth back in like 2000 or so. I’m a melodic death metal nerd and Gothenburg really set the tone. anywho, I’d heard their drummer had a side project, called “Curriculum Mortis”
I got a burned CD from the band. Unmarked. I uploaded it to soulseek. The iPod it was on eventually died.
I went a solid decade with only memories of this band.
I recent found someone uploaded the whole demo to YouTube. Of you enjoy melodic death metal, especially older, grittier less.refined, and also know Amon Amarth, just know, you know something very few know about: youtu.be/H1JWaADbcsA
What is an obscure piece of media or videogame that you think nobody else here has heard of? (kbin.social)
It could even be a youtube video or movie that you don't think anyone reading this has heard of besides you.
