Nearly everything else, the kicking "Crackin' Up" aside, is basic if okay-enough time-killer material that won't surprise anyone familiar with the Jourgensen/ Barker vision of things, concentrating more on the dank dancefloor stuff rather than the thrash, while Connelly acquits himself well enough. Most notable is another devolved cover version - after more or less tackling Olivia Newton-John's "Physical," this time around they did a much more recognizable take on Rod Stewart's disco hit "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?"

In the afternoon, between movies, Harman voiced TV commercials advertising his restaurant, but, following a stroke, he was unable to speak clearly so his restaurant manager, Ken Harbough, stepped in to do the ads instead.
