Passed tense names are wrong though.

The nurse one is spelt Ratched... You are correct though Uncle Bob has said in many interviews that Ratchet was named after that character. -Ralph I seem to remember you bringing Uncle Bob's supreme authority into question mere weeks ago... |

Never occurred to me but then not thought about him much as his track was the only turd on the glorious TF:TM soundtrack back in the day.

I have made no secret of this. I have said this many times.
As a child I cherished the soundtrack cassette of TF:TM (I still have it though it warbles now due to overplaying) as without a video player it was the best way to recreate the movie while reading the comics adaptation special or the Ladybird book. Alas, it was always a shame that the last song on Side B was such rubbish. It felt completely out of place.
The Weird Al song is the only bad thing about TF:TM. I still don't understand what it is about.

I believe it's concerned with the risks involved when one's actions do not follow the most logical or considered course.

Regardless Ralph is wrong. Why was someone singing pish about mashed potatoes and chickens in a silly voice in my giant robot action movie? It makes no sense. -Ralph |

It makes no sense. -Ralph The folk that he was signed to at the time were doing the soundtrack. They thought that it would be good to have a Weird Al song on the soundtrack, a bit of cross-promoting. They asked him if they could put the song on there and he said "Trans-whats? Yeah, whatever, it's fine". A lot of songs are on movie soundtracks for similar reasons. Karl |

I am with Ralph. Always hated that song, and it put me off ever giving Weird Al a try. Had a friend at University who absolutely loved his stuff (thankfully he had left behind all his CDs in Canada) but the name was tarnished for me!

I still feel like I'm missing something. Fangry has FANGS and is ANGRY Horri-Bull is HORRIBLE and a BULL Squeezeplay... has claws to squeeze you I guess? Where's the 'play' from? What does it mean? I wonder if that was a last minute replacement. Feels like he was supposed to be called CLAWFUL but that name was taken. Just in case.... Clawful, clAWFUL |

Squeezeplay has claws, so ClAWFUL would be a good name for him, mentioning claws and, like the others, containing a pun.
Except MOTU got their first.
