I was struggling for some semi-interesting movie news to close out the day and was getting nothing, but luckily FilmDrunkard Michelle directed my attention to this 1986 music video for Luis Cardenas’ cover of “Runaway”. It was nominated for a Grammy in best music video, and you’ll see why when the claymation dinosaurs start sprouting mohawks and rockin out on guitar. Luis Cardenas had a very important message to bring the world, and that message was MY DRUM SET IS A TIGER. Man, this rocks so hard. I guarantee this is Fei Fei the Sunglass Dog‘s favorite song.

That’s odd. I’d figure a velociraptor would be more into speed metal…
If Luis Cardenas was a dinosaur, he’d be a Dipshitplodocus.
“Check it out. A giraffe.” A Beavis blank stare at this.
IfNext time one of my friends is getting arrested, I’ll be sure to run up and yell, “We got the gig!” and pull him away. I’m sure that’ll work.This video was so realistic till then, too. Shame.
This Tyrannosaurus ROCKS!
Those drums will match my gun.
….and my car.
I like how they had to give them mowhawks and leather clothes because living dinosaurs that can play “rock” music wasn’t awesome enough on it’s own for the 80s.
This was back in the early Triassic period of dinosaur rock. These guys are all extinct now and the best you’ll find in the wild is an old Nickeldactyl.
Those drums match Jon Minus Dignity’s shirt, AND your gun, Påüłÿ.
Fine company indeed.
If you ask for “Walk the Dinosaur” from the raptor on guitar, you’re likely to end up hearing a Pantera song.
Those drums match my Tiger Condoms. Condoms for Tigers that I just happen to have. *whistles nonchalantly*
If you lay your nut-sack on those drums, are you a Furry is my question.
Thanks to many younger lovers and lots of plastic surgery, Cherodactyl is still looking good for her age.
Where’s the video for Rump Shaker by Tyrannasaurus Wrex N Effex?
I’m so glad we evolved to dinosaur rock. I hated the BeeGeeosaurus.
Dinosaur rock needs a bit of fossoul.
Dinosaur rock needs a bit of fossoul.
Then you want to be listening to the Four TriceraTops.
Of course, you can’t forget the real forefathers of Dinosaur Rock, the dinosaur composers. My favorite was Johann Sebastian Brachiosaurus.
I was down with VelociRap, but Gangsta Raptor is too hardcore for me. I don’t need to hear about drive by pack hunting.
“Uh, we gonna use retractible claws on dem Dinos.
Drinking dey blood and guts like we winos.”
“Slangin’ dat black tar pit heroin
got to hustle in da jurassic period mayne”
Anybody remember A Flock of Stegosauruses?
And tyraaaan
Tyranosaurus Reeeex…
The Snoopdoggasaurus is totally herbivorous.
Know what killed Dinosaur rap? The Vanilla Ice Age.
Rock Hudson was killed by a Megasoreass.
Did you guys know that “DURST” is just scrambled “TURDS”?
That video is pretty much the entire inspiration behind Denver the Last Dinosaur: [www.youtube.com]
Holy Shit mohawks are KEWL!
