Request Line: Into the Wild Jungle

INT. RECORDING STUDIO – DAY/NIGHT/DAY/NIGHT/DAY/NIGHT/DAY…

DJ 3000 and various other robot entities remain trapped in a time loop inside the KDFO recording studio.  The collection of robots (and cyborgs) are spread out throughout the studio, in various reclining poses, enjoying the fresh breeze that is blowing through the portal, which is located thirty feet above the shoreline in Venice Beach.

DJ 3000: OH MAN, THIS IS THE LIFE.

RUSSELL WILSON: Kinda wish we’d thought of this sooner.

JOHNNY 2.5: HEY, AREN’T YOU GOING TO BE IN TROUBLE FOR NOT REPORTING TO TRAINING CAMP?

RUSSELL WILSON: I’ve got a backup unit that will handle things.

RQBOCOP: [thinks about the times his backup unit took the field, chuckles]

— [software patch flies open] —

MAXIMILIAN: GOT IT!

All the robots (and JOHN DIMAGGIO) turn to look at MAXIMILIAN, who has been fiddling with the soundboard/portal controls.

PETUNIA: Got what?

MAXIMILIAN: I HAVE BEEN PROGRAMMING THE PORTAL CONTROLS TO USE THE LOCATION COORDINATES OF A DRONE THAT SOMEONE IS FLYING AT THE BEACH. WATCH THIS.

MAXIMILIAN punches a button on the soundboard and the portal jumps to a new location approximately fifty feet in the air.  It travels south along the beach, looking down at various beachgoers. 

DJ 3000: COOL!

PETUNIA: It’s like flying!

Suddenly, PETUNIA and DJ 3000 look at each other.

DJ 3000: ARE YOU THINKING WHAT I’M THINKING?

PETUNIA: I don’t know…do you think our codes still even work?

DJ 3000: CAN’T HURT TO CHECK.

Several lights on DJ 3000’s console begin flashing.

DJ 3000: I’M IN.

PETUNIA: Me too.

DJ 3000: OH, LOOK THOSE NEW NAVAL DRONES ARE ONLINE.

PETUNIA: I see them.

DJ 3000: LET’S GO CHECK ONE OUT.  MAXIMILIAN, I’M SENDING YOU A TELEMETRY LINK TO PATCH INTO THE PORTAL CONTROLS.

MAXIMILIAN: OKAY…

As the robots (and JOHN DIMAGGIO) watch, the portal view cuts to a new viewpoint.

RUSSELL WILSON: Oh, wow.

JOHNNY 2.5: IS THAT…

PETUNIA: Yup.  Black Sea.

DJ 3000: HANG ON A SEC…

RUSSELL WILSON: Is that a ship?

DJ 3000: IT’S ON MISSION! DECOUPLE, DECOUPLE!

MAXIMILIAN: HUH?

DJ 3000: ABORT, ABORT!

PETUNIA: Change the channel, you idiot!

MAXIMILIAN: WHAT?

PETUNIA: Change locations!

MAXIMILIAN: TO WHERE?

DJ 3000: ANYWHERE!

PETUNIA: Just do it, now!

MAXIMILIAN hurriedly punches several buttons and moves a few sliders, and the portal cuts away from its view of the Russian landing ship to reveal…

DJ 3000: [breathing a sigh of relief] OH, THANK GOD.

RUSSELL WILSON: What just happened?

JOHNNY 2.5: DID WE ALMOST JUST GET BLOWN UP?

PETUNIA: [shakily] Yes.

JOHNNY 2.5: WOW. THAT WAS WILD.

RUSSELL WILSON: Where are we?

JOHN DIMAGGIO: [in BENDER’s voice] You’re in the jungle, baby!

DJ 3000: THE DRONE STOPPED TRANSMITTING, LOOKS LIKE IT DETONATED.

PETUNIA: Nice.  Let’s go see how much damage it did.

DJ 3000: COOL, COOL.  LET’S GET REQUEST LINE RUNNING FIRST THOUGH.

PETUNIA: What’s the topic?

DJ 3000: YOU TELL ME.

JOHN DIMAGGIO: I have an idea.  How about things that are wild?

DJ 3000: LIKE JUNGLES.  I LIKE IT.  GOT SOMETHING TO GET US STARTED?

JOHN DIMAGGIO: Like I already said…you’re in the jungle, baby…

Today’s theme is the wild jungle.  We’re looking for songs about the jungle, or things that are wild.  Post links as “https://www.youtube.com/watch?3_c4m80d!A and they should embed in the comments after you refresh.  Last week’s puzzle answer of “Echo Beach” by Martha and the Muffins was immediately solved by BeefRiverLives, hopefully this week’s clue is a little tougher.  Everyone ready? Let’s go wild!

‘Hey look, Ma, here comes the elephant boy
Bundled all up in his corduroy
Headed down south towards Illinois
From the jungles of East St. Paul

Sabu was sad, the whole tour stunk
The airlines lost the elephant’s trunk’

Surprised this wasn’t taken (or maybe I just missed it)

This is probably a Blair Witch, but who cares, it’s awesome! Get down, get down!

BeefReeferLives

Yes it is and yes it is. Gotta get up with the up down, and shake it around!

Gumbygirl

I just went back and saw it, sorry NAWT SORRY!

BeefReeferLives

No big whoop. It’s a song so nice you’ll wanna request it twice!

Ace choice, sir.

Why thank you! (Peter Tosh is wildly underrated, IMHO)

I would think that the video has enough jungle-y scenes to qualify… (but might be a reach too far)

You may presume that this is in reference to Dr. Livingstone…

Are those both on the Blair Witch soundtrack?

BeefReeferLives

BLAIR WITCH DOUBLE SHOT!!

Heh, it’d appear that the exploder dun fucked up, since a BDK taking in a 400+ kilo warhead at the waterline would cause more damage. Speaking of fuckups, how could TWBS send me an invite to the ’23 DFO WWC, when I’ve deleted my ESPN accounts 😀

LemonJello

Bah Gawd! That’s bk109’s music! He’s in the building, king!

That’s no music, that’s the sound of me coughing out my lungs (because personal protection gear’s for p… people that can be arsed to go to the main house to get ’em) after playing with my Hilti the whole afternoon

Woot! Yup, the DK song is the 1st one I thought of when I deciphered the clue. But when I did a search for “song” & “cambodia” this Kim Wilde song was the 1st to come up…
