People Learn The True Meaning Of The Lyrics To Macarena

It's a simple, excruciatingly catchy song with original lyrics sung in Spanish, and it seems many people have no idea what the lyrics to Los del Rio's hit song Macarena really mean.

People play it in schools, at weddings, at ballgames, and they generally think the song is about a dance or, if they understand a bit of Spanish, about a woman.

But who is this Macarena, and why was this song written about her? Watch this video by Distractify featuring 90s kids reacting to the true meaning of the lyrics to Macarena.

So it turns out Macarena was far from "wholesome", and people have been dancing all happy to a tune about a girl who's livin' la vida escandalosa!

The Kim Carnes Video That Gave 80s Kids Nightmares

Back in MTV's early years there was only one video terrifying enough to give kids nightmares aired at any hour of the day- Draw Of The Cards by Kim Carnes.

Kim was following up her one mega hit Bettie Davis Eyes with a track that had a little more edge, so it makes sense for the video to have a little edge, too. 

The video starts out like Kim's homage to The Wiz, and somewhere along the way Kim goes through the looking glass and finds herself in a dark land that looks like Downtown L.A. after midnight.

(YouTube Link)

Draw of the Card reminds me of another 80s video that used to freak me out as a kid- Greg Kihn's Jeopardy, which takes place in a church seemingly from the same creepy neighborhood. Thanks for the nightmares MTV!

A 2-Bedroom House With A Sixteen Car Garage

What do you do when your life centers around collecting cars and you have an ever growing collection of vehicles but not enough room to park them all in your driveway?

You build the ultimate shrine to the automobile, a home that truly showcases your passion and proves you're willing to give up living space to continue expanding your collection.

This Bellevue, Washington home valued at $4 million may not look like it's worth the price, especially considering it only has two bedrooms and two and a half baths, but the real money is in the garage.

That's where sixteen amazing automobiles stay dry, get lifted and serviced in the full mechanic's workshop onsite, and generally serve as the heart of a home built for full blown car freaks.

Watch The Unaired Pilot Episode For The Real Ghostbusters

The Real Ghostbusters was pretty faithful to the movies in terms of the main cast, but one minor addition made kids go gaga over the Ghostbusters- Slimer, who was friendly on the show and even helped the guys catch ghosts.

That hungry yet cute little ghost made the show a hit with kids, but as you can see in this unaired pilot for The Real Ghostbusters he was originally an enemy just like in the movie.

(YouTube Link)

So if you've read this far you're probably wondering- what's the difference between the unaired pilot and the show we all loved to watch back in the day?

Well, here's the intro to the real show so you can see how the costumes and proton packs changed, and most of all how Slimer was portrayed as a gluttonous creep...as opposed to a gluttonous good ghost.

It is really hard to imagine this show without Slimer as a good guy, and what would 80s kids have done without their Hi-C Ecto Cooler?

Disney Inspired X-Men Doodle Portraits

There are dozens of Disney inspired character redesigns online, and although some of them seem more Disney than Disney inspired redesign, these treatments by Randy Bishop are what a Marvel-Disney mashup should look like.

Randy's Disney inspired X-Men Doodles series is spot on, and serves to illustrate how good a Disney-Marvel animated movie could look, although without all the singing and dancing and with a little more blood.

Randy's X-Men Doodles series hasn't made it past the portrait stage just yet, but hopefully he'll continue to flesh out these character designs and show us more from this colorful multiverse merging.

The Cartoon Style Evolution Of Robert Downey Jr.

From the bad boy Brat Pack days in the 80s to the genteel, sober and heroic guy we know today, Robert Downey Jr. has gone through some major changes in both look and attitude during the last thirty years.

These changes inspired Jeff Victor to base his latest cartoon style evolution on Robert Downey Jr.'s character development from 1986 to 2012.

Jeff's use of character acting to show Robert breaking down around 1994 then getting it together again in the early 00s is inspired, and it all culminates with Downey in the role he was born to play- Tony Stark.

Previously Banned TV Show Episodes You Can Now Stream Online

Having an episode banned from airing is a fairly common phenomenon in the world of television, and as times change so do the reasons why episodes are yanked.

Usually it's the network censors who pull an episode, such as Fox's censors refusing to air the Family Guy episode "Partial Terms Of Endearment" because it features Lois deciding whether or not to have an abortion.

But sometimes the show's creators make the decision to pull the episode due to tragic events that have taken place around the time the episode was supposed to air.

Hannibal creator Bryan Fuller ran into this problem with episode 4, which featured Molly Shannon as a psycho who brainwashes kids into killing other kids.

The episode was set to air soon after the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, so rather than risking the home audience "have a negative experience" while watching the show he opted to skip the episode.

We recently shared a mental_floss article from a few years ago featuring 27 temporarily banned TV episodes, and now they're back with a new collection of 26 Previously Banned TV Episodes You Can Stream Right Now that features a few repeats and a bunch of new entries worth checking out.


Man Tries To Rob Female MMA Fighter, Instantly Regrets His Decision

There are very few ways to qualify someone before you mug them, but thieves often prefer to rob women because they're assumed to be easy targets, an assumption that is often proven to be wrong.

MMA fighter Monique Bastos was headed to the gym with a few friends when a stupid thief tried to steal her phone while riding by on a bike. However, Monique wasn't going to give up her phone without a fight, and the would-be thief ended up with nothing but a hard hitting life lesson.

(Caution- video contains violence)

As you can see in the video, the thief she has locked up in the dreaded "triangle" wished he was dead, and his punishment definitely fit his cowardly crime. Curious about what he's yelling as she chokes him out? Read a translation here

Fox News Host Is Suing Hasbro For Naming A Toy Hamster After Her

Some people would see having a toy named after them as a good thing, but one foxy Fox News host wasn't very happy when she discovered a toy hamster with her unusual name.

Host Harris Faulkner is suing Hasbro for giving a Littlest Pet Shop hamster her name and likeness, and while the likeness element of the lawsuit is up for debate it’s hard to deny Hasbro’s use of her far from normal name.

Harris is suing the toy company for 5 million dollars, claiming the toy stole her likeness via “complexion, the shape of its eyes, and the design of its eye makeup”.

She's probably just angry that the figure named after her is a sidekick and not the main character, no word yet on whether a human named Benson Detwyler plans to sue Hasbro as well.

The Last Known Pictures Of Jim Morrison, Taken Five Days Before His Death

Jim Morrison's life came to an end far too early, his heart stopped by an apparent heroin overdose, but French law enforcement officials didn't perform an autopsy so we'll never know for sure how the Lizard King died.

All we have to tell us about those fateful days before Jim slipped away in the bathtub are a series of candid photos taken by friend Alain Ronay.

Jim looks clean shaven and happy as he shares some intimate moments with Pamela Courson in Saint-Leu-d’Esserent on June 28th, 1971, a far cry from the image of a dark and disturbed man painted by the press after his death.

Five Ways The Federation Is Actually An Evil Empire

The Star Trek saga is presented in a way that causes viewers to assume the Federation is a force for good, helping anyone in need and spreading messages of hope and peace throughout the universe.

But humans aren't very good at taking care of their own planet, so what makes people think they'd be of much use defending other planets throughout the galaxy?

(YouTube Link)

Cracked's Luke McKinney has compiled 5 Ways Star Trek's Federation Was An Evil Empire, including their blatant human elitism, their valuable resource hoarding ways and the fact that they're basically piloting giant antimatter bombs.
