so sit right back, don't have a heart attack or a stroke

Today's obscure fandom is Steven Banks Home Entertainment Center - I don't know whether to call it a movie, or a TV show, or what. It's only about an hour long, and my parents taped it off TV. Also what today's Name That Tune is from, so don't panic if you missed it.
It's basically this guy stuck in a dead-end job (that he has to find (or rewrite) a major report for - like NOW), facing the impending moving-in of his girlfriend, drinking half a can of Jolt in one go, making up a bunch of songs as he goes, trying to keep his landlord from evicting him for too much noise from the drum set - in short, pure chaos.
As for that cut-tag line. It's in all seriousness. Bear with me, it's been a while since I watched this - aforementioned drum set, guitar, banjo, bass, ukelele (in the normal capacity AND as percussion), harmonica, typewriter, recorder (including 'Greensleeves' by way of a nose-flute performance)... I thnk that's it.
Oh, and there's one person in the whole thing. Apart from other people's voices, but you don't see any of them.
There's visual humor, loads of music jokes, fun songs, flipping pencils out the apartment window, and a killer impersonation of Bob Dylan. Fun for the whole family.

Roadtrip update: We're going, but not until tomorrow morning. EARLY tomorrow morning, though, so there may not be much viable log time (especially since the Australians didn't have any warning).
Speaking of Australians, Celestina is one of the best actresses ever. (Though, among the other giveaways I mentioned, you dodged a key question in there. Might want to consider answering such things in future efforts. XD) Best April Fools' prank since Princess Grace pretended she was moving to California.
Got two Sacajawea dollars last night from Jen II. They were sitting on the computer desk while I was running up some loggage with Martina and I thought, 'Hey! It's the last two of those coins! Somebody go tell Adrian...' (The preceding was an RPage in-joke. PotC parody.)

to any passing fad, time zones critically fumble, disc rp, steven banks, family
