Here’s an interesting bit of nonsense from episode 174 of Sailor Moon (or, counting another way, episode 8 of Sailor Stars). Ami impresses the other members of the Juuban High Computer Club by downloading and printing a document, which she offers to translate as it’s in English.
She says it’s from the Columbia University library site, and it’s about space engineering.
It’s the lyrics to ‘Danger Zone’ by Kenny Loggins.
OH MY GOD
In the GUNSMITH CATS OAV, there’s a scene where they pass by a memorial wall or something (I believe it’s the Vietnam Memorial), and the names DARYL HALL and JOHN OATES are clearly visible.
In-fucking-credible.
And if you listen to ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit’ by Nirvana, you can kind of hear some similarities. Don’t tell anybody that though. Long live Kurt Cobain.”

Finally got the time and concentration to listen to David Drake’s amazing DJ Quik piece. Came across the above quote on the part about “Let’s Get Down,” and my reaction was thus:
“What is he talking about?” Imagining the Tony! Toni! Tone! song in my head. “Is it some weird little drum thing or bass-line that I’m not musical enough to catch?” Got to the chorus, still in my head. “Seriously, what the fuck is he… I… wait… Oh My God.”
