Today's review was Fred J. Dukes, The Blob<\/a>. Being fat and angry, he looks a lot like South Park<\/i>'s Eric Cartman.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In honor of that, we were going to use this space to share \"Block Cartman Beats,\" a long-ago relic of the pre-filesharing internet. Basically, it took the Chemical Brothers' 1997 \"Block Rockin' Beats\" and edited a bunch of sound clips from the early seasons of South Park<\/i> over the music.<\/p>\n

We were going to, but we can't.<\/p>\n

Logically, we expected someone to have put the song on YouTube. Or, if its less-than-copyright-friendly nature prevented that, on Dailymotion. Or Vimeo. Or any number of other hosting services, for either video or just music.<\/p>\n

And yet, it was nowhere. The closest thing was a YT video by \"Sauter Sonic Labs\" that did in fact feature a mix of Chemical Brothers and Cartman, but only minimally - it was missing almost all the actual voice clips. That's not good enough for us to share with you!<\/p>\n

According to The Napster Comedy Wiki<\/a>, \"Block Cartman Beats,\" aka \"the Cartman Rap,\" is considered lost media, with all surviving copies cutting off after only a minute and forty seconds. That's a far cry from the song's actual running time of 4:15.<\/p>\n

How do we know that number? Because yo still had a saved copy of the file he got 1998. Here, in its entirety, is the no-longer-lost full version:<\/p>\nhttp:\/\/www.oafe.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/07\/Block-Cartman-Beats.mp3<\/a><\/audio>\n

Right click, Save As<\/a>, keep your own copies and share them around. Upload it to YouTube and Spotify. This does not deserve to be something lost.<\/p>\n
