Yowzah! The 5,000 Fingers of Dr. T is required viewing in Ivanlandia! It's one of my faves (even with some of the less-than-awesome songs; although the bad songs are outweighed by the incredible elevator song and Dr.T's getting dressed song).
Hail Ivanlandia! The getting dressed song is crazy! Undulating undies with Maribou frills!...love it!...Somehow I knew you would know The 5000 Fingers too...and that makes my day! Cheers!
Thanks! I don't know that there is a link, I think Forbidden Zone was based mostly on Danny Elfman's musical interests (old jazz and cartoons from the 20's and the general zeitgeist of the early 80's). But there is certainly a cool underground weirdness connection..

I think I may need to see it again!

Does anyone know if this directly influenced Forbidden Zone?
Thanks!
