OK, here's a funny story:
A while back, Chris told me that Mr. Shanahan had pointed out that a lot of elements from Hamlet ended up in Strange Brew. The more I learn about Hamlet (I can't wait till we read it), the more I realize its true: Pam's uncle kills her father and marries her mother, her father appears as a ghost, the brewery is called "Elsinore Brewery" and is located next to "Elsinore Castle."
OK, well tonight I was looking around for the Bob and Doug McKenzie version of "The 12 Days of Christmas," which is from their album, Great White North. Well, I found a site that not only had their album, but also the Strange Brew soundtrack, which apparently didn't sell well and was only available for a short time in 1983. Well, one of the tracks on it was titled, "Shakespeare Horked Our Script," and involved the two of them debating whether they stole from Shakespeare or Shakespeare stole from them. It was hilarious.
Oh, and I want a copy of Strange Brew on DVD and a Great White North CD for Christmas.
