FUTURAMA and RUSH references

Recommended Posts

I know of two...one where Fry is saving the earth from Space Invaders but must have his RUSH mix tape to do so...the intro song is Tom Sawyer. The other reference is when Bender exists as a wooden robot "bent" on waging war against technology...and ponders whether their valiant efforts "might one day be chronicled in an Anthem by RUSH!?" FUNNY!!!

 

Anyone else a Futurama fan and have references???

 

I've only got DVD season four but will soon have all.

There is a great Rush reference in Sealab 2021. As I remember it Captain Murphy revamps his whole quarters into a cool hangout. When the other crew members discover this, one of them is going through his CD's and says something like "Hey he's got every single Rush album, even Caress of Steel". I was in bed half asleep when I heard this and shot up laughing. If you have not seen this show, BUY the DVD. You will not regret it.

Yeah I saw that futurama episode. I think about it everytime I hear tom sawyer.

On Aqua Teen hunger Force they have a whole episode based off shake making a new birthday song with zakk wylde and geddy lee. Classic.

Here's a link to the song if anyone wants to hear it. That's Matt Maiellero as Geddy. Spirit Journey Formation Anniversary

 

And here's the lyrics:

 

Spirit Journey Formation Anniversary

by Zakk Wylde and Matt Maiellero

from Episode 32, S.J.F.A.

 

Deep within the womb of time,

a creature thus be born

The seed of life is united with

the egg of tyranny

 

Gestates forth from within the womb of life

for three-quarter and nigh a year

The creature thus be born!

The creature thus be formed!

 

And ye of years....

 

[Your current age + bells]

Will chime!

 

When the heavens open up

and drink from the silver cup

The creature thus be born!

 

And blow the magic horn!

 

To alert the spirit deep within the cycle of life.

The creature has begun it's journey deep forlorn,

upon this day which he be formed

 

In the sea of mucus the spirit rides down from the mountain

and unites with the creature in the womb

A holy union, dark mortality, until the dark mortality

breaks the chain of life

The creature thus be born

 

And every year raineth down the celebratory tears

A celebration of the years

from mere mortal sky
