Rejecting the Shiny Baldness of the Materialistic Eighties

So, as you may know, Sonic CulT/Sonic 2 Beta is down. Which sucks. But in the meantime, the person asking for donations (Saz I'd assume) put up a funny little 1994 music video by Right Said Fred (the "Too Sexy For My Shirt" guys) which features none other than Sonic. Barely. The song's catchy, though.
Anyway, since I didn't see it mentioned in the timeline on the website (and we DO cover that kind of thing, don't we...?), I've uploaded it onto YouTube to share (since Lord knows CulT/S2Beta might suddenly return, making a link to THAT moot). <a href="

VERY interesting! I'm surprised nobody else discovered this before now.

Weird, and totally gay. Why was Sonic even involved in it at all?
I recognise that fat guy. Wasn't he in those old ads with the guy getting a "cyber razor cut", or something? Y'know, with the barber's chair and the metal arm, and shit.

I cannot think of anything to say other than "intriguing"

I sort of remember this. They released a Sonic version of this song to help promote Sonic 3. I think it was also used in a Sonic commercial. However, the single flopped badly hence why it's fairly obscure.

Wow. Especially the part that's supposed to be a Sonic-eye view.

"Please don't rape" just doesn't evoke the same compassion it once did.

I loved those old ads. He was like a Sega Tommy Cooper with a skull sidekick.
