Guess the movie quote from an AI rendition

Hmm... Never seen the movie, but I keep hearing that line regularly...

Personally, I think the movie ("They Live") remains entertaining.
Granted, it is a bit 'dated' in terms of movie-making and is obviously a product of the time-period it was made.
That said, it is a "cult classic" and worth adding to one's "to watch" list, in my opinion.
According to the wiki article I linked in an earlier post, the story is based upon a book.

That's it.  About the only line worth to remember from the movie. But then again it was early work in CGI and the movie crew.

What I see is a fancy cowboy breaking in a bronco. Can't make much of a song, nor dance out of that... 😞

LOL, you have exactly described the premise of the song.

I don't listen to country music myself, other than the old classics. However, I grew up listening to this singer because he was one of my Dad's favorites. I like his songs just as much as I like those by the Rolling Stones or Steppenwolf. Marty Robbins is as famous as Bob Dylan and, like Dylan, easily transitioned among music generes.

Also Marty Robbins...

What well-known saying do you think I put into the Bing AI to get this?

[Admiral_Karasu]

@Snargfargle Okay... I dread to guess but... 'Onward Christian soldier'?

[Snargfargle]

@Wolfswetpaws and @Admiral_Karasu

Of come on!

When Christ was a corporal.

Of course, if you aren't "Merican" maybe you haven't heard that saying. It means "a long time ago."

Ah... right, no, we would probably have a whole different sayings to cover that. This one I've actually never heard at all.

[Snargfargle]

Here's another old American saying along those same lines.

[Snargfargle]

How about this one? Bonus points if you can get the saying, song, and movie (the one set in the UK).

@Snargfargle, The raccoon saying I don't think I know, and I bet the only thing that wolf picture brings to mind, movie wise is Wolf Song, though I've never seen it.

@Wolfswetpaws More in your backyard this one, perhaps?

Ah... a bit after my time it seems.

Not exactly mine, either. But the pop station had the better traffic coverage, and I’ve been on the road a bit the last years.

OK. Here the answer. @Wolfswetpaws, don't peek until you guess.

@Snargfargle The movie is, I think, the only thing there that I remember. Watched it, a long long time ago.

Bobby Vinton's slower version of Blue Moon was played at the opening of the movie and the faster Marcel's version at the end.

I think I'll stick to the slow one. Heard it often, though, not on radio because all they play is ... crap... but probably in several movies.

They way the song was used in the movie shows that the director knew what he was doing. The peaceful, idyllic version played before the Americans knew that werewolves were real and the faster version played during the closing credits after the American werewolf was killed.

First I've heard of the phrase "When Christ was a Corporal".
Thanks for sharing.

I was haphhazardly reading this topic, so the "Howling at the Moon" song has already been mentioned.
While this should be "up my alley" as the saying goes, it also seems a bit too generic or vague to pin-down a specific movie.
But, maybe that's just me?  🙂

You'd think I'd know how long raccoons live off the top of my head but I had to look it up. A captive racoon can live up to 20 years.

I put a spoiler in with the answers but you might have missed it.

I heard "when Christ was a corporal" all the time when I was in the Army. It was one of the favorite sayings of our battalion command sergeant major. "I've been in this man's army since Christ was a corporal." He had too. He had fought at the Chosin and was still serving in the early 80s.

Jabberwocky, by Lewis Caroll

’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves

      Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:

All mimsy were the borogoves,

      And the mome raths outgrabe.

 

“Beware the Jabberwock, my son!

      The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!

Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun

      The frumious Bandersnatch!”

 

He took his vorpal sword in hand;

      Long time the manxome foe he sought—

So rested he by the Tumtum tree

      And stood awhile in thought.

 

And, as in uffish thought he stood,

      The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,

Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,

      And burbled as it came!

 

One, two! One, two! And through and through

      The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!

He left it dead, and with its head

      He went galumphing back.

 

“And hast thou slain the Jabberwock?

      Come to my arms, my beamish boy!

O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!”

      He chortled in his joy.

 

’Twas brillig, and the slithy toves

      Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:

All mimsy were the borogoves,

      And the mome raths outgrabe.

OK, here's one from a rather famous poem. I'll go ahead and include a spoiler for those who want to check out their guess.

 

 

[Admiral_Karasu]

Can't even begin to guess, we were never taught poetry like this. Just some stuff about 'china' and such.

Ah, I checked the spoiler. I've actually read this poem but didn't get it. The poem's a bit above my level of English, too, I think.
