Hey FOT,
I see bits and pieces in the Best/Worst thread, but figured it might be nice to compile all of the pieces we can identify in one easy-to-access definitive list in a separate thread. The whole thing intrigues me, as it's very different from what I'm used to in The Best Show, but I think that's part of the point. I can tell some pieces, but I am curious about the source of others, so I figure the board would be the best place to go. Additions don't need to be added in the specific chronological order they were added in the show, but being as specific to the original source would be helpful, if possible. Thanks, in advance! Here's what I've got, so far, off the top of my head:
Frankie Teardrop by Suicide
Pigpen's "jams" with Grateful Dead
Chuck Woolery's ads for (virtually painfree) catheters
Another Chuck Woolery ad. (I can't remember the product)
A voice repeating "SPRING BREAK". (Source?)
Nick Swardson thanking an audience for supporting Grandma's Boy
An excerpt from Andrew Dice Clay's "Hour Back...Get It?" bit on "The Day The Laughter Died"(?)
A bit from Andrew Dice Clay's podcast mentioning something along the lines of "Your podcast is your podcast, my podcast is my podcast". (Episode/context?)
The opening syllable of "SOME!" from Smash Mouth's "All Star"
Andy Kindler's imitation riff of Pigpen's innuendo-laden ramblings.
Seth Green talking about trying to get a movie made(? Source?)
A call on a conservative radio call-in show about police using necessary force to take care of criminals.
I think that's about all I've got for now. Thanks, again, for any help in keeping this up to date!

Thanks Zach. I was just asking this.
Someone please put this week's sound collage in a time capsule and preserve it for the rest of time
Can anyone identify all the clips from Tommy Teardrop?
"Hi, I'm Dennis", "my podcast is my podcast", "the movie got accepted at Sundance" etc.
-
The scene from the Master where he walks to the wall and back
Dinging bell is from Breaking Bad when nursing home blows up?
Opening section from Street Hassle.
Opening notes from One by Aimmee Mann
Hi I'm Dennis from Best Show Four Loko Christmas Party
-
A voice repeating "SPRING BREAK". (Source?)
...
Seth Green talking about trying to get a movie made(? Source?)
I think "Spring Break" is James Franco in Spring Breakers.
I know the Seth Green bit is from his interview with Marc Maron on WTF.
-
I was thinking Breaking Bad, initially, for the bell, but I don't quite think it sounds right, at least not from the nursing home scene, where it's dinged pretty repeatedly, in a rapid succession. Also, how could I forget "Hi, I'm Dennis!"? I figured "Spring Break" might have been from Spring Breakers, but I haven't seen it. Doesn't sound much like Franco to me, but I don't know. Thanks for the responses, so far! Let's keep it up!

-
The Dice "podcast" line is from "Rollin' with Dice & Wheels" #8. He's talking to Tom Green.
-
I'm getting in the habit of using twitter to crowd-source questions I have about the #ScharplingMegaMix
Last night's version included clips or Michael Richards doing his desultory apology on Letterman -- that's Richards doing the weird "forcefield of hostility" rant.
Kelsey Grammer falling off a stage ("pretending I was a UN Interpreter UMMPH GOOD LORD!")
Some heartbeat-like percussion sounds from the opening section of Pink Floyd's "Time" (I think the sound appears on other songs or between songs on "Dark Side of the Moon")
The Chromatics song "Tick of the Clock", which appears on the soundtrack to the movie "Drive"
-
"Hi I'm Dennis" gets more hilarious with every repetition.
-
"Hi I'm Dennis" gets more hilarious with every repetition.
So does "UMPH GOOD LORD." It's cruel, but whaddayagonnado?

Opening section from Street Hassle.
Violin and Cello riff from the title song of Lou Reed's 1978 album "Street Hassle"
Opening notes from One by Aimmee Mann
Aimee's amazing version of "One" the 1969 hit single by Three Dog Night (written by Harry Nillson)
Hi I'm Dennis from Best Show Four Loko Christmas Party
Still the best thing ever.
Everybody ... feel free to make further investigations into #Music. And #Dennis
-
Michael Richard's apology on Lettermen for being a racist on stage.
-
A call on a conservative radio call-in show about police using necessary force to take care of criminals.
Anyone know this one?
-
Richard Dreyfuss in "What About Bob" saying the "then he can wear my slicker!" line.
-
Is anyone making mp3s of these collages?
-

Special props to Tom this time for letting it run up through "I... think I'm okay." That's always a bonus.
-
"(Something Something) Big booties yo, that's what life is about"? More Spring Breakers?
-
I've never seen Breaking Bad but that clanging bell really freaks me out...who know Tom was the Garden State Stockhausen?
-
The dinging bell is certainly Breaking Bad, but not the "Face Off" scene--goes on too long. Probably the old fuck trying to tell Tuco something or trying to get the attention of a nurse once he's in the home.
-
really nice blurb about the collage on the av club podmass thing
-
"Hi, I'm Dennis" gets me every time.
In a way, this loop for 10 minutes may be more disturbing than Frankie Teardrop.
-

Its Tom prank calling New Jersey 101.5
-
I'm just going to chime in and say how much I love the collage. I don't think I'll ever stop losing it over Mike's "Dennis" voice.
Also, "Frankie Teardrop" isn't that scary, guys!
-
You're a time-machine record pig oink oink oink oink
-
I'm hoping Fonzie trying to apologize and the Mason line from "Clifford" make an appearance.
I love how these collages combine familiar Best Show topics and add intresting/funny unfamiliar clips. In some ways they're a perfect distillation of The Best Show to me. And at the same time they're a weird thing I would have never expected from The Best Show.
-
Is anyone making mp3s of these collages?
Anyone? I'd really like to have them. I'm finding myself thinking about these collages all the time now.

Anyone know this one?

Is there any more info/background on this?
-
Thanks, Carver
-
Wherever these collages go, I always get a chuckle knowing that they mutated from Tom mixing a Suicide song with a Grateful Dead song. That Tom did that alone is mind-blowing.
-
Thanks for starting this thread, MiddleBro. I've been wondering about these myself. Have been loving the evolution of the collage week-to-week.

I have no info, except to add that I just re-listened to the collage and it now seems blindingly obvious.
-
Though I'd never tell Tom how to do his job... it might be funny to think of possible additions to the collage:
Spike's infamous call with Martin Short
Ricky Gervais discussing anything, but perhaps the motivation behind his Derek character
Wally Wackiman's feltdown
Gene Simmons sales patter about... anything
Fredericks MIND Thing / soundboard clips
-

Glad to be of assistance! Also, someone mentioned the "Mason" line from Clifford. I was just thinking that it'd make a nice addition, but then again, maybe it belongs reserved strictly for Newbridgians calling in, to keep it separate.
-Zach
-
Dinging bell is from Breaking Bad when nursing home blows up?
Is it from that or is it from season two when Tuco's uncle is trying to tell his nephew Walter has put ricin in his burrito?
-
"(Something Something) Big booties yo, that's what life is about"? More Spring Breakers?
Yeah, I think that's Franco from when Alien is performing live...

Yes, I listened to this closer last night because of this thread, and it definitely sounds like Tom doing a voice.
-
Chris "Nerdist" Hardwick is a welcome addition to the collage.
-
Dorf talking about e-cigarettes!
-
Skurlicks addition was masterful, as was the drums from Tusk and Jerry Seinfeld talking about the "character" of the bee in Bee Movie.
-
C'mon Austin from Chicago, now is the time for you to write an article about Tom and the sound collage....for some website like The Awl or Dangerous Minds.
-
What was the "Hey Dummy." thing from?
-
I would give anything if Tom found a way to include a sample of Clark's whining after he was banned. Or anything from Venison Stew, really.
-
Skurlicks addition was masterful, as was the drums from Tusk and Jerry Seinfeld talking about the "character" of the bee in Bee Movie.
Tusk! of course. I was about to ask where that drum beat came from.
Other "new" (?) stuff I picked up on from last nite's version of the collage :
Looping piano part from "Life's What You Make It", by Talk Talk.
Almost-subliminal portions of "Tales of Brave Ullyses" by Cream, and the "Entourage" theme song by Jane's Addiction.
Right after the Skrillex portion, there was a little bit of Karen Carpenter singing "loneliness" from the song "Superstar"
AP Mike whispering "Bayonne, City of My Birth" ... (from the Tree of Mike short film he did a few years back)
Some guy (?) blabbing about Porsches "from Jay Leno's Garage"
Some guy phoning into WNBC and offering to be "Barbara's" love slave (???)
Where does the guy screaming VICTORY come from? is that Hardwick or somebody else?
Oh yeah, somewhere in there was a proggy-sounding synth keyboard loop. Sounded a little like Phillip Glass or something. Anybody know what that was?
-
Is the Hi, I'm Dennis thing from 12/18/12 (Four Loko Carol Xmas special) or the previous year's Xmas show?
-

Fairly certain its the 2012 one

[/quote]
My first thought on hearing that was that it was Sylvester Stallone's voice. I just googled and saw that there's a Sylvester Stallone movie actually called Victory, but have never seen it.
-
The Victory yell is from Entourage. It was Johnny Drama's catchphrase when he was on a fantasy tv show.
-

Wakeman's noodling from Roundabout?
-
They belong in a museum!
-

I think someone said that was from The Master as well.
-
Sorry if this is answered above but where is the terrifying "Nerds!" stuff from....this collage really is like a Hieronymous Bosch painting of our times.
-
Yeah, I used to like Hardwick, but that loop of him kind of made me hate him and the whole idea of "nerds"
-

Chris Hardwick's stand up.
-
The call from "kill all the criminal guys" on the NJ talk radio show is scarier than Frankie Teardrop. I'm glad Tom's reigned in that bit. It's terrifying.

Yes. December 18, 2012:

-
Yeah, I used to like Hardwick, but that loop of him kind of made me hate him and the whole idea of "nerds"
Yeah, I still enjoy Hardwick greatly, but I've always disliked his grandstanding of "nerd" culture. "Nerds" are no more special than any other labelled group of people, yet he fetishizes them greatly. Why label your personality so that you squeeze yourself into a tiny box and scowl disdainfully at those who are even the slightest bit outside of it?
-
I enjoyed Fred Stoller, in his initial rash of podcast appearances, calling out Hardwick, Matt Mira and JOnah Ray as snarky dudes and bros, not real nerds like Eddie Deezen.
"Victory!" sounds like Drama from Entourage but I haven't watched that show since the Sopranos stopped leading into it.
I'm want to find the tour of the Hate Pit from a few years ago. I think it's an antecedent to the Collage of 2013.
-
The Hate Pit tour is from the show with the memorable broadcast date of 1/11/11.
-
I think Chris Hardwick is a nice guy but that podcast is unlistenable and their interviews never really offer a lot of depth. You kind of leave with nothing in those interviews or they're the same thing you would find on Jimmy Fallon or Jay Leno. Just these fluff interviews where all we really find out or learn is that the guest is "The nicest guy." And it kind of bugs me that his version of nerd is just blind enthusiasm for everything.
-
If you go way back Hardwick was actually reasonably funny, but yeah, he's basically Ryan Seacrest now.
-
The only way I know Chris Hardwick is from "Rodeohead," which I enjoyed.
Has he done other stuff? I hadn't heard.
-
I'm waiting for Billy Crystal's "Jazz Man" character to show up in these, including the self-important "This next piece..." preamble.
-
Oh yeah, somewhere in there was a proggy-sounding synth keyboard loop. Sounded a little like Phillip Glass or something. Anybody know what that was?
Wakeman's noodling from Roundabout?
THAT"S THE ONE! The wakeman part from Roundabout was mixed in with the haunting Karen Carpenter interlude.
.. and it keeps going, mixed down low beneath Hardwick, Tree of Mike, Franco in "Spring Breakers" ... very effective.
The Wakeman bit starts a little bit before the 5 minute mark on this video: Yes - Roundabout (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Tdu4uKSZ3M&noredirect=1#)

Why label your personality so that you squeeze yourself into a tiny box and scowl disdainfully at those who are even the slightest bit outside of it?
Nerd culture kind of got diluted past the point of no return once you had 'sports nerds'. Also there was a kind of 'Geek' vs. 'Nerd' thing going on where I leaned toward 'Geek', so I never really Nerd identified. I generally find the fetishization of nerds/geeks embarrassing more often than not these days, and don't particularly feel a kinship with the herd with things diluted and fragmented (for example, I just never really got into gaming). N.E.R.D. had a couple good songs, though, I thought.
-
The WNBC call--is that Tom doing a voice calling into mid-1980s, pre K-Rock Howard Stern?
-
hey, buddy. where ya been?
-
I just realized what I've been missing in this thing: Bruno S. saying "VELLkomm tu deh MAEK schau!"
-
N.E.R.D. had a couple good songs, though, I thought.
I really enjoyed "Lap Dance."
"I got somethin' chrome / And I got it from home / And it ain't a microphone [Yo, it ain't a mic]"
-
All the previous things said I also like Chris Hardwick overall. He gets a lifetime pass for 'The Pi Song', more or less one of the nerdiest things ever truth be told.
-
hey, buddy. where ya been?
If you are addressing me, I've been wasting my time is a less productive manner than the FOT board.
I'd like to say, "I'm spending less time on message boards because I had a baby and bought a house," but this would be false, since I waste just as much time on the Internet as ever.

I generally agree - but holy crap, the audio clips used in the collage are the greatest take down of anyone ever. I know it's reducing a guy to a few words. But my god, that's a hell of a reduction.

This is a nice textualization of the Franco/Alien voice.
Textualization? That's not right ... What's the word I'm looking for?
Anyway, welcome back to the board, YesNo

The Nerdist podcast gets on my nerves. I subscribe but only listen if the guest is fantastic. Patton Oswalt's appearance and the story about his tenure on MadTV was great. The Zucker brothers interview was also great. But it's really only great when Hardwick, Mira and Ray get out of the way and just let the guest tell stories - but that's also the show's weakness, because a distinctive personality/viewpoint is what makes Maron great as an interviewer/conversationalist, while Hardwick seems to think hysterical enthusiasm and Simpsons references adequately comprise a personality. As an interviewer he pitches nothing but softballs.
The other thing that really tests me with the Nerdist is that Hardwick and Mira, particularly, do this thing where they laugh nervously through their teeth immediately after saying something "funny," which makes me super-tense, because it just reeks of insecurity. And they can't ever make a joke without making a joke about the joke they just made. The fetishization of "nerds" is intensely grating too - we get it, you guys like comic books and gaming and sci-fi; stop acting like you earned something important.
Having said that, Hardwick's standup can be funny sometimes and I kind of like his song parodies once in a while.
Oh, and the audio collage pieces are just getting better and better.
-
Hardwick, Mira and Ray ...
The other thing that really tests me with the Nerdist is that Hardwick and Mira, particularly, do this thing ...
WHY are there three of them? The format of that show has never made any sense to me. They've landed some great guests, but it continually eludes me why anyone would want to place themselves in that 3 against 1 situation.
I've heard enjoyable things from Mira, J-Ray and the 'wick in other contexts ... but regarding the flagship show of the Nerdist podcast network ... the show that obstensibly serves as a tentpole: why are there three of them?
[/quote]
Oh, and the audio collage pieces are just getting better and better.
Yes they do.
-
The Nerdist interviews can lead to some good moments once they get going, but good lord the opening 10 minutes or so when all three of them are giddy and trying to riff all over the place is really hard to sit through.
-
The Hate Pit tour is from the show with the memorable broadcast date of 1/11/11.
Thanks Cavorting. The Hate Pit Tour is more like that Conan/Andy Richter bit when they would drive around with a green screen behind them. "Oh no, it's Olivia Munn...she's talking about Star Wars"

So no one has a clue as to the "sex slave" call? I could be wrong on both counts but I think it is early Howard Stern and a young Scharpling.
-

That's definitely not Howard Stern. Howard had a much more nasally voice in the 80s.
I'm pretty sure - based only on the host's speech pattern - that it's W. Alan B. Colmes (of Hannity & Colmes fame) during his period as a shock jock on WABC in the 1980s.

It's definitely Alan Colmes. It's funny, because I first became aware of Alan Colmes in the mid-90s, when the only radio station I could get at my temp job played a show he did with Barry Farber, another radio host whom Tom has mentioned on occasion.
It was a runup to Hannity & Colmes, only with a (somewhat) genteel Southern conservative instead of a braying, moronic jackass.
I don't care what your politics are, if you can't recognize that Sean Hannity is a moron, _you_ are a moron.
-
I don't care what your politics are, if you can't recognize a moron, _you_ are a moron.
Yep.

Ugh, "mouth breathers".

YES the collage instantly reminded me of Hate Pit tour, one of my all-time favorite Best Show moments.

Except for those occasions when Tom's Newbridgian friends and coworkers start dancin' to that greasy, greasy, funk.
-
i believe you guys mean to say "greazy".

The Hardwick bit in the audio collage makes me think of this (this is as funny as contemporary German comedy gets, and second best is a long way down from here) Bernd das Brot aka Bernd the Bread - NERD PARTY subtitled English just for you! (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OcKAdLfVFow#)
-
This is turning into the blob. The collage is now approx 19 minutes. I think if it can reach 22 minutes we'd have a proper LP side. I kinda liked losing the right-wing radio shit in favor of Ice Cube's "you think you colder than me?!?" to a can of Coors Light. Speaking of...Mike sounding like a Batman villain: "Do you have puppy dogs hee hee he he"
Porcupine Pie...another scoop please?
-
It's official! The audio collage may now be referred to as "Tom's Comedy Jam."
-
MR MOONLIGHT! *kazoo solo*

It is The Weirdos Exposed Audio Book.

Perhaps some clips of John Wesley Shipp as the Flasher might be added, hmm?

My two suggestions for the collage are:
Jay Leno bombing.
http://wikisend.com/download/453480/LenoCaseyAnthony.wav (http://wikisend.com/download/453480/LenoCaseyAnthony.wav)
Spike singing the National Anthem. I chopped them up into Spike's individual segments, as well as a long version of Spike and Tom duetting.

I wasn't familiar with "Porcupine Pie" so I looked it up to see who sung it. As I was searching, I came across a site called songmeanings.com. On their entry for Porcupine Pine, the sole comment (from 7 years ago) is the following: "Don't you dare ask Tom Scharpling of WFMU 90.1 NJ fame to play a request, or you'll get a heaping plateful of Porcupine Pie!"
I wonder if it was Tom himself who posted it. It was pretty funny to find, nonetheless. I'm still making my through the archives, so I wasn't aware that was something Tom used to do.

Hey FOT,
I see bits and pieces in the Best/Worst thread, but figured it might be nice to compile all of the pieces we can identify in one easy-to-access definitive list in a separate thread. The whole thing intrigues me, as it's very different from what I'm used to in The Best Show, but I think that's part of the point. I can tell some pieces, but I am curious about the source of others, so I figure the board would be the best place to go. Additions don't need to be added in the specific chronological order they were added in the show, but being as specific to the original source would be helpful, if possible. Thanks, in advance! Here's what I've got, so far, off the top of my head:
Frankie Teardrop by Suicide
Pigpen's "jams" with Grateful Dead
Chuck Woolery's ads for (virtually painfree) catheters
Another Chuck Woolery ad. (I can't remember the product)
A voice repeating "SPRING BREAK". (Source?)
Nick Swardson thanking an audience for supporting Grandma's Boy
An excerpt from Andrew Dice Clay's "Hour Back...Get It?" bit on "The Day The Laughter Died"(?)
A bit from Andrew Dice Clay's podcast mentioning something along the lines of "Your podcast is your podcast, my podcast is my podcast". (Episode/context?)
The opening syllable of "SOME!" from Smash Mouth's "All Star"
Andy Kindler's imitation riff of Pigpen's innuendo-laden ramblings.
Seth Green talking about trying to get a movie made(? Source?)
A call on a conservative radio call-in show about police using necessary force to take care of criminals.
I think that's about all I've got for now. Thanks, again, for any help in keeping this up to date!

Hey Zach, want to take a stab at IDs for the collage in its most recent incarnation (9/10/2013)? Lots there I have no clue about

It was pretty funny to find, nonetheless. I'm still making my through the archives, so I wasn't aware that was something Tom used to do.
It will happen again.

Hey FOT,
I see bits and pieces in the Best/Worst thread, but figured it might be nice to compile all of the pieces we can identify in one easy-to-access definitive list in a separate thread. The whole thing intrigues me, as it's very different from what I'm used to in The Best Show, but I think that's part of the point. I can tell some pieces, but I am curious about the source of others, so I figure the board would be the best place to go. Additions don't need to be added in the specific chronological order they were added in the show, but being as specific to the original source would be helpful, if possible. Thanks, in advance! Here's what I've got, so far, off the top of my head:
Frankie Teardrop by Suicide
Pigpen's "jams" with Grateful Dead
Chuck Woolery's ads for (virtually painfree) catheters
Another Chuck Woolery ad. (I can't remember the product)
A voice repeating "SPRING BREAK". (Source?)
Nick Swardson thanking an audience for supporting Grandma's Boy

The Seth Green quote is from his WTF interview, and he was talking about the movie Party Monster that he did with McCauley Culkin.
I think in the "my podcast is your podcast clip" Dice is talking to Tom Green, because you here Green's voice for a second before Dice cuts him off.
Some other clips I noticed:
The Fraiser theme song, followed by Kelsey Grammar falling.
Porcupine Pie (obviously!)
the "tick-tock" sound from Dark Side of the Moon
Chris Hardwick talking about nerds and yelling "NERDS!!!!"
-
Milo going "what?"
-
He also included audio from the Pruane Drive-jacket video.
BTW, I loved how he went from the Queen song into the audio collage this time around.

Hey,
I think a few others have already mentioned the ones I can remember as new additions, off the top of my head. This thread is basically for anyone who wants to chime in and add updates or help identify things I missed from the earlier incarnations, or just better clarify their sources. If it's wanted, I can go back and update the initial post with new stuff, for an easy-to-access, all-encompassing archive of what has been called out.
Otherwise, I just want to mention that the use of Kelsey Grammer singing the Frasier song, cut off by his classic fall, with perfect timing on the switch, was pretty brilliant, and I laughed out loud each time I heard it, on the ride home on Tuesday night.
-Zach

It seems there are like three main themes developing: the Frankie Teardrop/Chromatics "Drive" song portion is like a descent into Hell (or the Hate Pit) with the more diabolical clips- "Spring Break", "Bayonne...", "Hi everyone I'm Chuck Woolery. If we all live long enough we experience arthritis pain", with Dice's breakdown (I forget if Michael Richards strange explanation for his racism was in the last one but it would fit perfectly here).
Then the mood changes to upbeat with Porcupine Pie- more playful clips like "NERDS!" "Toss salad and scrambled eggs- Oooooh God...uugh", "You think you're colder than me?", "Hi I'm Dennis", "Thanks for supporting Grandma's Boy".
Then closure with the opening of Street Hassle "could take an hour BACK! GET IT?" Tying the whole thing in one piece is "Do you have puppy dogs he he he"
I think a great item for a pledge drive would be an extended 45 minute version on an mp3 file of the Ultimate Best Show Collage.
-
I would love to get a file of all the audio collages strung together from end to end and listen to them in one sitting.
Did you guys notice how Tom made sure to reference the Pruane Drive-jacket video in this discussion with Gabe? Then, it was in the audio collage later.
He's doing a great job of tying all the segments of the show together: Talking about corrupt Councilman Big Jim Rennie in Under the Dome, then getting a call from corrupt Alderman Shorter. Then, he segues right into the Queen song, which fades into the Audio Collage, which refers back to the Under the Dome discussion.
It really is amazing.
-
My two suggestions for the collage are:
Jay Leno bombing.
http://wikisend.com/download/453480/LenoCaseyAnthony.wav (http://wikisend.com/download/453480/LenoCaseyAnthony.wav)
Spike singing the National Anthem. I chopped them up into Spike's individual segments, as well as a long version of Spike and Tom duetting.
http://www.sendspace.com/file/lw42xi (http://www.sendspace.com/file/lw42xi)
On that note one of my favorite Spike moments was when Tom got him to sing a Christmas Carol (Deck the Halls?) and Tom started speeding up and slowing down and then berated Spike for getting out of sync when 'I'm making some Christmas magic here. Heave ho!' No idea what show that was (aside from it being a December one)...
-
Paul Stanley freaking out over the laser pointer guy and Jefferson Airplane's "White Rabbit" are two new clips I remember from this week.
The repetition of Ice Cube's "yeah-yay" was perfectly timed at that one point in Porcupine Pie.
-
Also:
the Beatles' "Mr. Moonlight"
A few other Ice Cube clips
Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody"
Jerry Seinfeld explaining his Barry Bee character for Bee Movie
I believe Yes's "Roundabout"
-
At the end of "Mr. Moonlight" is a sound effect by Tom.
This goes back to one of the funniest stories he's ever told. He went to a Beatles convention. A strange group of fans was hanging around; every once in awhile one would sing a song, and the group would all join in.
The room got quiet, one of the fans screwed up his courage and belted out "Misterrrrrrrrrrrr.... Moonlight!" and... Well, I won't spoil it, but that's where the clip comes from.
I think it's this one: March 27, 2012: Tom went to another Beatles convention, and things got weird!

I'm pretty sure that in the first or second version of the collage there is a clip of what sounds like Spike calling into a radio station about Heroes & Villains (the song trivia contest- I think his guess was Help Me Rhonda).

How the hell would Tom have found that??

I actually assumed Spike sent it to him for some reason. Or maybe Spike frequently calls into that show and someone caught it.

This is what I was able to glean from tonight's, 9/17/2013, audio collage. I probably missed some stuff:
Frankie Teardrop
Andy Kindler’s Pigpen impression
Clip from “What About Bob?”
Chris Hardwick: “Are there nerds here tonight? Nerds!”
Kelsey Grammar falling/Fraiser theme song
“Sons of Anarchy” theme song
Clip discussing John Lennon’s Lost Weekend
Clip from horrible sitcom “Dads”
“Do you have puppy dogs?”
Ricky Gervais talking about “The Office” & “Derek”
“Loneliness” by the Carpenters
Yes’s “Roundabout”
The whispered “Bayonne”
Kelsey Grammar doing standup
Aerosmith’s “Dream On”
Ice Cube: “You think you colder than me?”, etc.
Ice Cube: “Yeah-Yey”
“Big boys don’t cry. Be quiet” (don't know source)
Chris Hardwick “nerds” montage
Steven Dorff eCig ad
Michael Richards apology from David Letterman Show
Dice quote montage
Call to 101.5: Doug in Dunellen; Tom’s crank call
Chuck Woolery catheter commercial
SPRING BREAAAAAAK
“One Day I’ll Fly Away” by Randy Crawford
-
I'm pretty sure that in the first or second version of the collage there is a clip of what sounds like Spike calling into a radio station about Heroes & Villains (the song trivia contest- I think his guess was Help Me Rhonda).
This is toward the end of the 8-20-13 collage. I don't think that's Spike. That's not his name, and the voice is directionally correct but not the same.

What's the violin bed music that was playing in between Porcupine Pie and Frankie Teardrop?
-
“Loneliness” by the Carpenters
It's "Superstar," son. Sorry to be pedantic!
“Big boys don’t cry. Be quiet” (don't know source)
I think this is from "I'm Not in Love" by 10cc.
Man, this collage. Good lord.

Tom's Comedy Jam! is amazing. Love it. It does need to be an LP. The "Good Lord" from Kelsey after he hits the deck gets me every time.

“One Day I’ll Fly Away” by Randy Crawford
I finally figured this out last night, with some crowd-sourcing help from twitter. I believe this has been at the tail end of all versions of the collage ... Perhaps signifying a dream of release from the hatepit/nightmare world.
Can't tell for sure, but I believe the rendition Tom is using is Nicole Kidman's from ... wait for it ... MOULIN ROUGE!! This is an extra added bonus for longtime Best Show fans:
June 12, 2001: Tom Continues His Love Affair With Moulin Rouge, And Hot Rockin' Ronny Allegedly Breaks Glen Jones's Record.
June 5, 2001: Tom Interviews "The Creature" From The Band POUT. Tom Also (Unknowingly) Begins His Love Affair With The Movie Moulin Rouge.
Amazing.
Moulin Rouge - Fly Away (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4N7VK7vHwnw#)
-
A new bit in last night's iteration: The relatively anarchic opening to a very non-anarchic song:
Huey Lewis & The News - I Want A New Drug (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ZwQRCkKxNE#)
-
Tom has stripped away the last vestiges of my early-90s delusions: Huey Lewis's News and Jane's Addiction are the same band. Or they may as well be.

Y'know what'd be awesome? If the "90-second piano guy/Italian version of 'Don't Dream It's Over'/drill" Italian-restaurant sound montage from 6/28/2011 eventually made it into Tom's Comedy Jam.
That and Tom doing his beatnik poem "Glutton" from the same episode. "Ring Dings/Eatin' like a pig/Glutton/Yeaaaah/Hey you/Drive through/Loading up..."
-
I still like Ricky Gervais overall because even his level of twitter idiocy cant wash out the brilliant old radio shows and The Office, but listening to that clip it's bizarre that someone famous for playing/creating the most oblivious fictional tools of all time has become one of the most oblivious real life tools in showbiz. Never seen such a respected comedy name go in the toilet faster.
It's crazy that he sort of became a version of David Brent - sublimely arrogant and clueless, and totally oblivious to how he's actually seen by most people.
-
I've only seen the first episode of Derek, but can someone explain why Gervais is so blind to... something? Is it that he went "full retard" and won't admit it?
-
^
He got tons of awards and praise for the first two seasons of The Office and then his show b/c a huge thing in the States. Plus having a hit podcast before people knew what podcasts were added to his Legend. These things put the zap on his head and he's been coasting since on mediocrity and the humbleness of his more talented partner Stephen Merchant. I don't think he was truly acting much in The Office, in retrospection.

I guess we'll find out this weekend when "Hey Ladies" premieres who the more talented one is, the trailers look like it will be funny.

How is it possible that there's nothing from VU's The Gift in the collage already?
-
How is it possible that there's nothing from VU's The Gift in the collage already?
Hmm. Personally, I feel like "The Gift" is it's own, very specific audio collage world.
However, there's a specific guitar moment from "I heard her call my name" that's been discussed on the show. I think that one could be deployed to thrilling/horrifying effect.
-
I've said it before but I'll say it again:
VELLkomm tu dae MAEKschau!
-
The video of the Kelsey Grammer fall is deeply satisfying
-
The Kelsey Grammer one has been over used way too much on shock jock radio shows, but it still makes me laugh.
-
The Grammer one is timeless. I'd love to hear the drill sound from the Italian restaurant.
-
Others that do the Grammer bit leave out the best part the last "shhh ohhh".
-
What was the funky second song that was directly after the Suicide song at the beginning.
-
Black Sabbath-Hand of Doom
-
That's funny, I was thinking that was pretty funky myself, and usually Black Sabbath is not associated with funky.
-
The Paul Stanley additions were strokes of genius
-
What's the "who likes to get high", "who likes alcohol" stage banter stuff?
-
It's Paul Stanley's in-concert intro to "Cold Gin." You can hear one version of it here:

The Paul Stanley samples remind me of one of my favorite Best Show moments- when Tom compares Howard Dean's screaming to the stage antics of Cronos from Venom.

I would be absolutely blown the hell away if that's not Stern. I am positive it is.
So no one has a clue as to the "sex slave" call? I could be wrong on both counts but I think it is early Howard Stern and a young Scharpling.
That's definitely not Howard Stern. Howard had a much more nasally voice in the 80s.
I'm pretty sure - based only on the host's speech pattern - that it's W. Alan B. Colmes (of Hannity & Colmes fame) during his period as a shock jock on WABC in the 1980s.

I am kind of shocked that this is even a debate? EVERYONE should have this song memorized by now, it's a straight up superjam, SUPERSTAR by the Carpenters:

The 2nd verse:
"Loneliness is a such a sad affair
And I can hardly wait to be with you again"

I came to the FOT forum looking specifically for an answer to this question. Thanks for this thread. Had to register just to ask...
What is the source of the guy saying something like "I wanna get it, you're gonna give it, gotta get it on a picnic..."? Sounds like something from a show call because I think I can hear people laughing in the background. Has this been ID'd yet? Thanks!

Andy K doing his best Pigpen.
I'll be that nerd who goes ahead and gives a little more detail. The clip in question probably came from this show: "August 6, 2013: ANDY KINDLER talks Adam Carolla and Pigpen. AP Mike is Judas to Deadheads. Henry Rollins was on Jeff Garlin's podcast. Mike from Stonebridge checks in. Tom gets stuck in an elevator. Stephen from Chicago receives a peculiar letter. #AndrewWhoClay"
Pigpen is a long-deceased member of the Dead who AP Mike claims is the "first rapper". Comedian Andy Kindler likes to call the show, and him and Tom will often discuss how Tom goofs on some of Andy's favorite music. But even the most ardent of Deadheads agree that PigPen is wide-open for mockery.
-
Tom is goofing on these things? I thought he was playing all these Andrew Dice Clay, Stephen Dorff, Seth Green and Chris Hardwick clips because he was a fan.
-
I believe he genuinely has a place in his heart for Dice, if only for that "Hour Back" bit that someone also planted in MY head years ago. Dice is pretty plainly what he is, but there is something about the concept behind that album and that bit in particular that is just... wonderfully ridiculous in so many ways. I think he loves Dice in the way that he loves Morton Downey Jr. Or hates Dice in the same way he does Morton Downey Jr. Whichever.
As for the rest of the bits... some are just funny (AP Mike), some he's making fun of (Kelsey's metier), some in-between... but perhaps it's better to analyze it less and simply enjoy.
Understand - I'm talking completely and totally to myself when I say that.
-
A fun, new, unexpected addition was some dialogue from that cult classic, Weekend At Bernie's, featuring the majority of the lines of a former child actor I know pretty well.

"Now you can look at that band and wonder where
All that sound was coming from
With just 4 people there.
Twangy sounds of the cheapest types,
Sounds as stark as black and white stripes,
Bold and brash, sharp and rude,
Like the heats turned off
And you're low on food.
How in the world were they making that sound?
Velvet Underground."

My parents got a vcr in 1984 (to record the olympics, of course). I was 12. I used to tape Letterman every night and watch it in the morning (I thought Letterman was great because I watched his morning show when I was little and thought his bit with the sea monkeys was hilarious). They ran this commercial a lot:
Lou Reed 1984 Honda ad (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45foWEjC8_s#)
It took me a while to figure out it was Lou Reed. Before that somehow I got it in my head it was the Moody Blues. I listened to a bunch of terrible albums trying to find the song from the commercial. Eventually I figured out it was Lou Reed (maybe I finally noticed the posters in the commercial?) and looked him up in the card catalog at the library. They had the "Rock and Roll Diary" double album compilation. I probably had that checked out all of 1985 and 1986. That's how I got into the Velvet Underground. Thanks, Honda. (This feels like a Gregulator story. You're welcome, everybody.)
-
Oh yeah, I forgot to say that that other clip is The Gift minus vocals.
-
I'm pretty sure unless memory fails that the original stereo pressings of White Light/White Heat had the spoken word part of "The Gift" all the way over on one channel and the instrumental "Booker T" all the way on the other. So it was a simple matter for some genius to reproduce the instrumental on both channels and come up with a monster mono jam. Wow.

The part with the isolated John Cale brought back some memories for me. When I was in college I roomed in a place with a bunch of stoners, and one of them was a really funny dude named Jim. People liked to hang out in Jim's room and listen to LPs. The experience was enhanced by sitting in the "energy dome" which was a vintage beauty store blow-dryer chair that Jim had trashpicked. There were a few weeks where one of the speakers on Jim's stereo was blown out. This had a pronounced effect on listening to records with gratuitous channel separation.
So I have a memory of listening to The Gift while sitting "under the dome". It was pretty much an isolated track of Cale's narration, with a very faint, almost subliminal hint of the left-channel instrumental. And all these years later, Tom has brought a facsimile of this experience to a larger dome of listernership(s).

So it was a simple matter for some genius to reproduce the instrumental on both channels and come up with a monster mono jam. Wow.
That's what wikipedia says anyway.

I thought this song was by Marky Mark?!0
Seriously, who *doesn't* want that version of New York back? Damn you, Guiliani!
My parents got a vcr in 1984 (to record the olympics, of course). I was 12. I used to tape Letterman every night and watch it in the morning (I thought Letterman was great because I watched his morning show when I was little and thought his bit with the sea monkeys was hilarious). They ran this commercial a lot:
Lou Reed 1984 Honda ad (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=45foWEjC8_s#)
It took me a while to figure out it was Lou Reed. Before that somehow I got it in my head it was the Moody Blues. I listened to a bunch of terrible albums trying to find the song from the commercial. Eventually I figured it was Lou Reed (maybe I finally noticed the posters in the commercial?) and looked him up in the card catalog at the library. The had the "Rock and Roll Diary" double album compilation. I probably had that checked out all of 1985 and 1986. That's how I got into the Velvet Underground. Thanks, Honda. (This feels like a Gregulator story. You're welcome, everybody.)

I assume that was Tony Curtis talking about John Lennon. You know who I wonder about? That guy backstage that Paul Stanley was talking to, who told him that a lot of the audience members like drinking vodka and orange juice. How did this person know this? And are all of Paul Stanley's backstage conversations this fascinating?

He seems to have this particular conversation a lot. Also, nearly every night he has a conversation with "a reporter from your local newspaper" about how KISS is all washed up.

I'm pretty sure unless memory fails that the original stereo pressings of White Light/White Heat had the spoken word part of "The Gift" all the way over on one channel and the instrumental "Booker T" all the way on the other.
That's true! A few months ago during the Invisible Man / Invisible Hipster monologue, I threw together 90 seconds of audio from the movie with the right channel of "The Gift." Maybe I should take the Invisible Hipster dialogue and put it on the left channel! When you have the instrument track isolated, the possibilities are endless!

This week's version of the collage featured: "It's Over", by Roy Orbinson, and a very brief snippet of Freddie Mercury singing "goodbye, everybody", "Bohemian Rhapsody".
Also featured: The hushed scatting intro to Bowie's "Queen Bitch" ... ("Bowie was a great Velvet Underground fan and wrote the song in tribute to the band and Lou Reed" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Queen_Bitch)):

The part with the isolated John Cale brought back some memories for me. When I was in college I roomed in a place with a bunch of stoners, and one of them was a really funny dude named Jim. People liked to hang out in Jim's room and listen to LPs. The experience was enhanced by sitting in the "energy dome" which was a vintage beauty store blow-dryer chair that Jim had trashpicked. There were a few weeks where one of the speakers on Jim's stereo was blown out. This had a pronounced effect on listening to records with gratuitous channel separation.
So I have a memory of listening to The Gift while sitting "under the dome". It was pretty much an isolated track of Cale's narration, with a very faint, almost subliminal hint of the left-channel instrumental. And all these years later, Tom has brought a facsimile of this experience to a larger dome of listernership(s).

It's a phone conversation between two guys named Derek and Kurt. Kurt made and recorded the call during which he knew just the right questions to ask to get Derek to say some of the greatest things I've ever heard. Based on references made I've been able to determine that the call is from 1993. I first heard it sometime in the late 90s/early 00s. The call was the equivalent of "Rock, Rot & Rule" among touring metal bands of that time.
The entire call is nearly 45 minutes. I cut it up into individual tracks as there are a few times that Derek puts Kurt on hold for a couple of minutes. I uploaded the call to my Google Drive. Have at it!

Thanks, Dudes! The last few days I was going crazy trying to remember exactly which piece of awesome 70s tuneage was mixed in with those calls. I was pretty sure it was Paul Rodgers and Free, and I finally figured out what song it was today ... according to the YouTubes this is an "alternate heavy version". And I now remember that I know this version from Tom playing it a few years back. Enjoy and ROCK OUT!!

I think you're referring to the super-phased violin loop from ELO's "Evil Woman"
Rock part after the "Nerds" bit: "Ohm" by Yo La Tengo (I got some help from my SoundHound app for that one).
Also in the latest iteration of the collage: Another ELO song, "Don't Bring Me Down". That song's four-on-the-floor beat is mixed in with a sort of industrial sounding click-track. Anywhere know where that beat is from? The part that's combined with "Don't Bring Me Down"?
Also in the recent collage: The synth bass part from Frankie Goes to Hollywood's "Relax" combined with the spooky pre-song rumblings of Pink Floyd's "Welcome to the Machine". The spooky Floyd rumble returns towards the end to underscore Roy Orbison's "It's Over" :(

Oh okay, I re-listened to that part and heard you saying the song is called "Welcome Home". Yep. That's the riff that you and tom were singing:
Coheed and Cambria - Welcome Home (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n0H3RlaQVrM#)
What's up with the fake blood? That's kinda gross, Coheed and Cambria.

Clearly, coheed and cambria are familiar with zeppelin. "Kashmir" stomp? Check. Double-neck guitar? check. Mystical runes? check. I mean those runes at the end of the vid are almost same as the Zoso Runes.

My dream for the last sound collage is that he includes that bit from "Marquee Moon" but let's it play to that really pretty, shimmering part just after that (sorry, awful at describing specific moments in music).

I was shopping in Trader Joe's a few days ago and "Evil Woman" came on the store's sound system ... I started getting unreasonably excited for THAT PART of the song to happen. And when it did I had to hold myself back from tapping the shoulders of people ahead of me in line to tell them about it.

Maybe this was answered in another thread but where does the laughing fit in the final sound collage come from? Triggered by Mike saying "chicken quesadilla" and sounds like PFT laughing too?

The PFT laughing jag is from the classic Juggalo segment - July 21, 2009.
Mike's chicken quesadilla line comes from a different episode entirely - although I'm not sure of the date.
-
Maybe this was answered in another thread but where does the laughing fit in the final sound collage come from? Triggered by Mike saying "chicken quesadilla" and sounds like PFT laughing too?

In the final collage, there was a clip from a S&W call where John is telling Tom to kill someone, or else a bear will come in and eat him or something. It sounded different from most S&W calls I've heard. Anyone know when it's from?

It's from "Gregor McWilliams, Relaxation Guru," the JW call from 1-3-2006, near the end of the call.
Omar recaps it here (SPOILERS - listen to the call first):

In the newest version of the collage, where's the squealy laughter from? The guy says "eyes on the prize" right before it and "that is hilarious" right after it. It's at about 10:21 of the current version.
Somewhere else in this thread some laughter was attributed to PFT, but that doesn't sound like it to me.

The PFT laughter? I'm pretty sure it's from the Gathering of the Juggalos discussion on July 21, 2009.
If you mean the other laugh in the new Sound Collage, I have no idea.

I'm commenting as much as I can based on this thread but if anyone wants to jump in and comment some more that would be great.
-
“Loneliness” by the Carpenters
It's "Superstar," son. Sorry to be pedantic!
“Big boys don’t cry. Be quiet” (don't know source)
I think this is from "I'm Not in Love" by 10cc.
Man, this collage. Good lord.
The synth wash intro from "I'm Not In Love" is usually included around the heartbeat section, too.
-
"Killing in the Name Of"-Rage Against The Machine and "How Soon is Now" by The Smiths were pretty great newcomers to the collage this week. I believe Tony Sopranos ringer also popped in.
-
The singing of the Stroke 9 song fit in so perfectly. The Rage/Smiths/Joe Rogan breathing was mesmerizing.
"I put myself in a state... Chalk it up."
-
That was Joe Rogan? I was wondering what that was from. Have a link to the source video?
-
Dinging bell is from Breaking Bad when nursing home blows up?
No, from when we first meet the old man in that safehouse in the desert, or that time he went to the DEA.

Hey RPM, never noticed you did this! Thanks! I listened to the first few minutes and didn't see any tags pop up. Are we supposed to supply the IDs in the comments section? I thought as the samples came up there would be IDs but maybe that's where we come in!

Aaargh! I had a lot of comments in there and they are all gone now! Sometimes when I load the soundcloud page it says "20 comments" and other times "0 comments" but I don't see the actual comments anymore. If I go to my notifications they are all there but no-one but me can see that. Computers suck.
But anyway, that is how it's supposed to work, you are supposed to be able to see the comments on the timeline and they will also pop up as the clip plays.
I like how Tom put some hip hop into the collage before the most recent one. Assuming that's an answer to the caller who claimed he never plays hip hop anymore. I recognized "Microphone Fiend" by Eric B and Rakim but could not ID the beat boxing tracks.
I hope Tom finds all his lost soundboards. Computers suck.
-
Try coming in from: https://soundcloud.com/tags/billyjoelsucks
And click back and forth between the track and the hashtags. I got the comments to show up once or twice doing that. They still don't show up on the timeline or pop up as they should but it's something. I tried asking soundcloud for support but no reply.
In the 9/29 sound collage, who is singing Take Me Out To The Ballgame and talking about the musical Damn Yankees?
-
Hey can someone please add a comment to the Soundcloud track? Their tech support says all the comments will come back if someone other than me makes a comment.
Thanks!

You know how some obsessive people years back made a website dedicated to listing all samples and lyrical references from the Beastie Boys album "Paul's Boutique?"
http://www.paulsboutique.info/ (http://www.paulsboutique.info/)
I feel like Tom's sound collages deserve this treatment. Maybe not a whole website but at least a thread on this forum. I can offer up a few and would love if others could fill in others.
Apologies in advance if this has already been started somewhere else. Allow me to start:
"Frankie Teardrop" - Suicide
"Spinning Wheel" - Blood, Sweat, & Tears
"Nights in White Satin" - The Moody Blues
"Larks' Tongue in Aspic, Pt. 1" - King Crimson
"Touch Me" - The Doors
"Sleep Now in the Fire" - Rage Against the Machine
"Oh good lord!" - Kelsey Grammer falling off a stage
"Not quite my tempo" - J.K. Simmons from Whiplash
Independence Day soliloquy - Bill Pullman
Papa John soliloquy - Mike Francesa
Car make-out filth soliloquy - Garrison Keillor
What else do we have? I am dying to know who is behind the "British countdown" that has been starting the collages off lately. And the Bentley defecation comment.
Thanks!

Is the countdown Hawkwind's "Countdown"?

Hello,
Can anyone identify the clip around 2:36:15 in this week's sound collage? It's right between the clip about the Pink Floyd concert and the crowd singing My Ding-A-Ling (even typing that feels gross). It sounds a little like MC Steinberg but I know it's not.
It's a nasal voice saying "Waaaaah I don't wanna go to ....?....." (I can't make out the last word at all)
thanks in advance!
-
that was from the Tompersonation contest where all the guy did was go "WAAAAAHH!!! I DON'T WANT TO DO THE SHOW! I DON'T WANT TO DO THE SHHOOOWWWWWW!!!!!" without identifying himself. tom really got a kick out of it. he does kind of sound like steinberg but i'm not sure if it was him or not (brett davis did call in with kind of a low-key impersonation earlier in that episode, or maybe later i forget)

Yeah, that's my Tompersonation. It's not too far off from my normal speaking voice (if you can imagine) and, as Fredericks said, there's a year's worth of me talking on the Skype thing. It's half just verbatim something I think Tom said at one point and half an imitation of the sound of my 3 year-old niece making her baby doll cry.

Gorplex seems to be from New Year's Eve on Fox last year, hosted by Steve Harvey. I haven't found any video of this yet, but at least two people tweeted about it. They had very different opinions about it.

OK this helped me find it. Though I didn't find Gorplex because I was skipping ahead too fast, Harvey had Rob Riggle do a bunch of bits as different characters, so whomever suggested Riggle as Gorplex, wins! If anyone can tell me at what minute in this video Rob becomes Gorplex, much appreciated:

I've been wondering what the retro-sounding electronic beat is that Tom uses from time to time in the sound collage. I heard it in a Diplo mix too. It's the instrumental of Can't Stop Won't Stop by Young Gunz.
