Beetlejuices Rockin Graveyard Revue_Universal Hollywood 1999_HD FULL SHOW @crappco

crappco In 2006 when we first posted this show, YouTube's video quality was very limited. Almost nine years later, with over 10k views per year, here it is again, now in HD...sorta. The show was shot in 1999 on pre-HD 8mm videotape, but it's presented here in 1080p to not lose any of the original quality. Sure, it's a bit of overkill, but what better show for overkill?

Sept. 4, 1999 was the final day this cast performed the long-running monster musical comedy at Universal Studios Hollywood theme park (the show closed 2 days later). This is the entire 25-minute show.

A single camera was moved to a different location for each of the day's five performances & "Frankensteined" together into a virtual 5-camera shoot with parts of all five shows. In other words, every time the shot changes, you're now watching one of the other four performances.

Our thanks to the exceptional performers, crew & Universal Studios Hollywood.

The website on screen (FindWallBangHead) had been discontinued.

This video was created as a memento for the cast.

ARMAGEDDON ON YOUR MIND (a patriotic/anti-Bush song parody)

crappco 2006-10-21 | This was the video of our patriotic song parody about the most dangerous man in history (to the tune of "Heaven On Their Minds" from Jesus Christ Superstar).

Download the video (or mp3) at http://www.crappco.com where you can get indisputable validation by clicking the links embedded in the lyrics page http://www.crappco.com/lyrics.htm

Even though he's finally left office & America now stands a chance of surviving, it's important to always remember the treasonous crimes of George W. Bush. As always, it's difficult to resist the urge to simply mock him as a bumbling moron since his buffoonery would make it appear as if "George Bush is funny" - Although we would never want to say this about any president of the United States, the heartbreaking truth is that George W. Bush was & remains irrefutably anti-American, a criminal & the worst threat this country has ever faced (as are those who owned him or supported him).

Never forget - George W. Bush said about Osama bin Laden, "I don't spend that much time on him" & "I'm truly not that concerned about him." Haven't heard it? Watch Dubya say it at:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=4PGmnz5Ow-o
then hear him giggle & lie about saying it at:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRY_BOYeySc&NR=1

Bush said he wasn't concerned, but patriotic Americans did care. Therefore, you had the choice of supporting Bush OR supporting America, but you could not support both! Likewise, you could support Bush OR you could support our troops! For the record, then & always, we will choose to support America & our brave troops!

AMERICA BEFORE AGENDA,
Your friends at Team Crappco
