Maimtron references list

[Aerothorn]

Has anyone compiled a list of all the songs the Maimtron references? I'm totally oblivious to popular music, and I was curious.

[BlackMageJ]

I wouldn't exactly describe it as 'popular' music... the fact that it's all cheesy old stuff is part of the joke, IMO.

That said, apart from "I Will Survive", I can't actually remember any of the other songs. I recognised some of them, I've just forgotten what they were.

[chrisff1989]

"I read the news today, oh boy" when you click on "Bad News" is a reference to "A Day In The Life", by the Beatles.
"He's a man of wealth and taste" when you click on Satan is from "Sympathy For the Devil" by the Rolling Stones.

Can't really remember anything else other than "I Will Survive", which was posted above.

[Kitmit13]

well I knew a couple of the songs, like when you click on stinkys window he sings the song "Luka" although I can't renember the artist. Its on my ipod but I can't be bothered to go see XD

[Mel]

Suzanne Vega did Luka.

[TrogLlama]

He referenced "It's the End of the World as we Know It (And I Feel Fine)" by R.E.M. at one point. It might have been clicking on Bosco's, but I'm not 100% certain.

[Haggis]

When looking at the parking meter, Maimtron says "Lovely Rita, parking meter", which is of course a reference to the Beatles song Lovely Rita.

Also, looking at the crack, he says something about that it leads to a land down under, where women glow and men plunder - referring to the Men at Work song.

[ShaggE]

He references En Vogue's "Never Gonna Get It", as well.

[MaxFan]

I don't remember what I clicked, but one of his lines was from "We Didn't Start the Fire" by Billy Joel.

[Mysterysheep]

He also references My Hump by The Black Eyed Peas.

[neon]

I remember one was "Talk about mud flaps my girls got 'em" when looking at the COPS. That one's Spinal Tap.

[splash1]

there's one when you click on the Manhole he'll say "That leads to a Land Down Under where woman glow and men plunder"
from Men at Work

[tobar]

I was hoping for a Rick Astley reference. :p

[InvaderJim42]

I was hoping for a Rick Astley reference. :p

God, so was I. I was so hoping we'd get Rickroll'd in Sam and Max. It would have made my rating go up to 11.

[etherbot]

if you click on the rubble where he used to lay, he will sing 'its not a rock, its a rock lobster': rock lobster by the b52's. clicking on stinkys will lead him to sing 'look out boy she'll chew you up, shes a man-eater': man eater, by hall and oates.

[BancoLavadero]

Clicking on Momma will make him say "Mama Said Knock You Out" which is a rap hit by LL Cool J from 1990.

[Linque]

The references were great. I loved the variety of the songs. Also I was positively surprised that I recognized over 50% of them. :)

That was probably the part I enjoyed most from this episode actually, using the Maimtron. The driving challenge was pretty cool too - 70 was my record. :P

[MaxFan]

If you click on Max, he Maimtron says "You can't touch this" Haha

[Mercury2142]

"Hope I die before I get old" is from My Generation by The Who.

The Who= <3
"I-e-i-e-i will always love you" is the bodyguard theme.
"Here I go again on my own" is by Whitesnake.

[vyperspit]

I was born in 1984, so I dig some of the classic 80's songs. I liked it when the robot quoted "If trouble comes along, you must whip it, whip it good." from Devo.

[Mirko]

"Mama Mia, Here I go again" (Mama Mia by Abba)
"Uder the Bridge Downtown, is where I drew some Blood" (Under The Bridge by the Red hot Chili Peppers)

[LuigiHann]

"Steam in the subway, Earth is on fire" is from the song "Hungry Like the Wolf" by Duran Duran.

[Molokov]

Does someone want to go and play 201 and 205 again, write down all of Maimtron's lines, and then we can fill in all the references as a group?

(and no, i'm not volunteering... no time at the moment :( )

[Randulf]

Billy Idol's "White Wedding" when you click on Sybil's
Kansa's "Dust in the Wind" on Timmy

Maimtron lyrics in 201

"If you start me up, if you start me up, I can never stop"
"Celebrate good times, com'on"
"All the cops in the donut shop say: way-oh-way-oh" -- "Walk like an Egyptian" by the Bangles
"I've got to go where I wanna go, do what I wanna do"
"Do you really want to hurt me? Do you really want to make me cry?" --"Do you really want to hurt me?" by Culture Club
"Eight-six-seven-oh-oh-nine"

"Who wrote the book of love?"
"Do you believe in life after love?"

[Randulf]

If you click on Max, he Maimtron says "You can't touch this" Haha

The Sexual Harassment projection in Hell also states that no part of Max's body should be touched.

[Mirko]

"It's more than a feeling, more than a feeling"
That should be "More than a feeling" by Boston.


"Who wrote the book of love?"
Coulb be from "American Pie", but i'm not sure?

"Do you believe in life after love?"
Isn't that from a Song by Cher?

[tabacco]

The second one is actually from the song Book of Love by the Monotones (I would think). American Pie has a line that's "Did you write the book of love" which is likely a reference to the Monotones song.

[Haggis]

"Celebrate good times, com'on"
Celebration by Kool And The Gang

"Eight-six-seven-oh-oh-nine"
Might be a reference to this (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/867-5309/Jenny)?

"Why do birds sing so gay, and lovers await the break of the day?"
This. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Why_Do_Fools_Fall_in_Love_(song))

"Why do fools fall in love?"
See above.

"Do you believe in life after love?"
That is indeed Cher, as Mirko pointed out.

[Zeek]

Awww, I was hoping to see a list of referances here instead of a lyrics hunt. Oh well. I, too, am oblivious to some of those referances.

Hell, I'm still trying to figure out if I've heard the song the line used for Specs came from. "Shout! Shout! Shout at the devil!"

He also references My Hump by The Black Eyed Peas.

That was the best one out of the entire batch, because it was delivered as a legitimet question. :D

[mre]

Hell, I'm still trying to figure out if I've heard the song the line used for Specs came from. "Shout! Shout! Shout at the devil!"


That would be Mötley Crüe - Shout at the Devil.

[Dedlok]

"I fought the law and the robot won" "I fought the Law" by the Bobby Fuller Four (Paraphrased)
"When a problem comes along, you must whip it, whip it good" as mentioned before "Whip it" by Devo
"I might as well face it: I'm addicted to shove" "Addicted to Love" by Robert Palmer (paraphrased)

[Mirko]

The second one is actually from the song Book of Love by the Monotones (I would think). American Pie has a line that's "Did you write the book of love" which is likely a reference to the Monotones song.

Ahh! Yes, thank you. I could not remember the exact American Pie Quote, but I don't think I ever heard the other song...

[Zeek]

Sam has a few lines with the Mr. Reaper Phone that I think qualify.

"You'll never fine a love like mine."
"They call me Mr. Tibbs."

[Helstrom]

"Tell me what you want, what you really really want" - Wannabe, Spice Girls

God I'm glad the '90s are over.

[mre]

God I'm glad the '90s are over.

Heh, 10 years ago, you probably said the same about the 80's. ;)

[Dangerzone]

take control of the maintron while harry is on the street and click him...

"take my hand baby, don't fear the reaper"

[Leak]

"take my hand baby, don't fear the reaper"
I'd say "Apollo 440", but it's actually from Boards Of Canada, errr, Blue Öyster Cult...

np: Underworld - Trim (AHundredDaysOff)

[Arthur9]

When you control the Maimtron, click on Sybil`s, and he says: "Its a nice day for a white wedding". Why no-one has noticed that reference? :confused:

[tobar]

Shame on those that didn't know.:p

[Zeek]

When you control the Maimtron, click on Sybil`s, and he says: "Its a nice day for a white wedding". Why no-one has noticed that reference? :confused:Nobody noticed the "Gonna take a Midnight Train" line either. I blame Gaico for that one.

[yoshimickster]

An entire list. AN ENTIRE LIST OF THE SONGS THE MAIMTRON REFERENCED! YOUR MAD! MAD I TELL YOU MAD!

[Zeek]

Seeing this thread again reminded me about something funny that happened to me the other day.

On the radio, I heard one of the songs Maimtron quotes. Didn't know "She's a man eater" was so catchy.

[demonfoo]

"I'm gonna tear your playhouse down, pretty soon"

That's apparently a song by Graham Parker, called (unsurprisingly) "I'm gonna tear your playhouse down"...

[Iron Curtain]

I'd say "Apollo 440", but it's actually from Boards Of Canada, errr, Blue Öyster Cult...

np: Underworld - Trim (AHundredDaysOff)

It is indeed from Blue Öyster Cult, and the song is "(Don't Fear) The Reaper"

[Iron Curtain]

Seeing this thread again reminded me about something funny that happened to me the other day.

On the radio, I heard one of the songs Maimtron quotes. Didn't know "She's a man eater" was so catchy.

That song is "Maneater" by Daryl Hall & John Oates (Or Hall & Oates for short)
