It was actually a cover! EDIT TO ADD: Captain Chameleon also made "Jive Ol' Foe", which was covered for Slick as "Jive Soul Bro", so... y'know, take one with the other, I suppose.

I never noticed the late 70s/early 80s P-Funk influence (back when George was hitting the drugs even harder and the band started to implode as a result) especially with the proto rapping/talking until you slow it all the way down. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technico Support Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 (edited) Yep, I’ve seen those original versions and they weird me out, since as far as I can find, Capt Chameleon never did anything outside those two tracks. But then this guy’s only two songs ever made were BOTH ripped off for WWF albums. What are the odds? My best guess is he was a studio guy and was involved in the production of the WWF albums and just re-used his own obscure old stuff.

I swear that I read somewhere that "Capt Chameleon" was an alias for David Wolff, who was heavily involved with the Cyndi Lauper angle and production for The Wrestling Album and Piledriver, and is also listed as a Producer on the credits for those two Capt Chameleon tracks. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technico Support Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 Yeah, that makes sense. So “Captain Chameleon” was Wolff trying to make some novelty tracks or cash in, and a few years later he just reused his old stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it ain't the same dude, there is some guy who doesn't know his work was replicated note for note without his consent and used frequently on WWF television. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BloodyChamp Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 (edited) The Dynamite Kid talked about being introduced to straight crack by JYD which was way before WCW. A more interesting documentary would be about JYD’s days before WCW and WWF. They wouldn’t have to try to hard to fabricate some doomy nasty stuff from those times if that just has to be a part of things. I hope they don’t go where it looks like they’re going with Adonis. Wrestlers who act like girls have been getting booed since the beginning of time. None of them were gay gimmicks. If Adonis was then I missed it, which is possible since I didn’t match alot of WWF. What I always got from the gimmick was just more of the same kind of heat that Brother Love, Johnny B Badd, etc got. I’ve met George Clinton more than once. I’m pretty good friends with 1 of his immediate family members. Edited April 29, 2023 by BloodyChamp 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just purchased a Jive Ol' Foe 12" promo for a big $2.75. I tried getting the one that is $0.99, but it was below the vendor's minimum purchase. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobra Commander Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 so how much insulation is there between Vice and the Vice cable network? 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zakk_Sabbath Posted May 2, 2023 Share Posted May 2, 2023 Was coming to see if this had been posted already - happened to catch the article on the Desus & Mero subreddit, and didn't make the connection til I saw a couple of randoms wondering what would become of DSOTR. Really hope those guys land somewhere - outside of wrestling, I thought DSOT 90s was really good what I saw of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheVileOne Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 That's kind of a reach isn't it? Also, the guys behind Dark Side of the Ring wouldn't necessarily be the ones responsible for stiffing staff people on pay. They're documentary filmmakers and they produced a TV show for VICE and VICE Studios. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxB Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 It's a massive reach. Lewis Dangoor is a complete idiot. He exists solely to write "WWE good, all other wrestling bad" articles, that are very badly informed. He's basically a twitter troll who has lucked into turning it into a paying gig. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarheel Moneghetti Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 (edited) Vice TV signing off the airwaves for good or rebranding itself as a cooking channel or family movie channel or whatever would be a plus, imo. Lol, it’s one of the few networks out there where its pro wrestling content is not the scuzziest thing on the channel.

Curt McGirt Posted May 10, 2023 Share Posted May 10, 2023 What IS El Rey playing anymore? Haven't had it since we switched over to Dish. Vice News is still airing on HBO so I guess they're getting those out of the way per contract. Dark Side, far as we know, might already be half or all in the can and could be put online.
