DJ's Throwback: SWAT Kats the Radical Squadron

Hello one & all it's DJ Dizzy here & this time around I'm talking about perhaps one of the coolest cartoons around here's a hint I wrote a song about them a while back. That of the SWAT Kats




Now SWAT Kats the radical squadron was perhaps one of the most underrated cartoons of the 90s & was the biggest & most successful shows way back when it originally started out on Fox Kids as well as TBS & Cartoon Network as part of a block called 'The Fantastic World of Hanna Barbara.'  in the 90s. Now for some that aren't quite familiar with it allow me to bring you up to speed.

It tells the story of to cats which are called 'Kats' & they live in a place called Mega Kat City which but it centers around 2 Kat pilots named Chance Furlong & Jake Clawson who were working in their local police force called the Enforcers. While in pursuit of a bad guy their boss Commander Feral caused them to crash up into Enforcer headquarters.

In addition to getting kicked off the force they had to work in a junkyard to pay off their debt but while there they get the idea to create their own weapons & signature jet the Turbo Kat out of what was there & then re invented themselves as T-Bone & Razor & the rest is history. Now when I was younger I watched the show quite a bit when it was on Fox Kids, then Boomerang & CN respectively. That was back when  both Boomerang & CN had something good to offer as far as shows went.

But I'll say this about the show by far a real adrenaline rush of action & adventure with good character development  even the females played a good role such as Callie Brigs the deputy mayor who alerted the SWAT Kats whenever trouble brewed. There was also Mayor Manx who was all about the Mega Kat  Tower & playing golf but he does care about the city & the people.

Commander Feral who though that he & his enforcers could get the job done but really couldn't & then you had the SWAT Kats T-Bone & Razor.

T-Bone for those who don't know is the burly looking tabby Kat who flew a jet & served as the loose cannon & muscle for the team. 

Razor serves as the RIO as well as worked the weapons & created them. He serves as the brains of th team in addition to being a skilled martial artist who'd occasionally saves Callie whenever she got into danger.

Then you had Ann Gora who was the ace news reporter who was on the scene as would sometimes get into trouble herself but always got a good story & handled herself very well.

Then Lt. Felina Feral who was perhaps in my opinion the toughest she Kat in the show since she took no mess & could really handle her own even with the SWAT Kats & her uncle when needed.

You also have the bad guys who were out to either destroy the city or conquer it. They were the typical cookie cutter bad guys but they always got taken down & there were the occasional monsters of bad guys of the week.  But overall it was by far the coolest & underrated shows which only lasted for 2 seasons but for some reason got cancelled (Way too soon in my opinion.)

There's also a reboot in the works called SWAT Kats Revolution which probably will be on the air hopefully & I'm guessing that it'll pick up where the original left off. I'm also thinking the original voice actors will reprise some of their old roles hopefully & I'm also thinking they'll be some new characters both good & bad. So here's hoping that the show does prove to be successful & that it features what was supposed to be the unfinished episodes.

I predict that they might even hire some new voice actors to play  Commander Feral & Dark Kat unless they have some old recordings leftover but overall we'll see what comes out of it.

So if it does make a comeback & we're all hoping & praying that it does I just want to say that lets hope its as cool as it was back then animation wise & plot wise also. So all I can say is best of luck to you guys & here's to your future success.

So with that said & done here are some videos to display how awesome these Kats are Enjoy!

Kids Click Review

Hey there one & all DJ Dizzy here & this time around I'm doing a review of the popular block Kids Click, Now its been a month since its debut & since then its really taken off My thoughts on the block are as follows. First of all I love the fact that they've brought back morning cartoons & they're pretty good especially since they do a mix of action & comedy cartoons.

My personal favorites are Pac Man & the Ghostly Adventures, Miraculous, Pink Panther, Scary Larry,  Max Steel is okay on the other hand but if any thing they should air newer episodes of the shows which they do but also what would be really cool if they brought cartoons back on weekday afternoons just a little something after the daytime stuff ends.

When I was a kid there was cartoons in the morning that came on at around 6:00am then in the afternoon 3:00pm  those were the days when you could do your homework while watching cartoons or just mellow out even before the day began. But still seeing morning cartoons once again really brings back nostalgia for me because in a way its like your childhood sort of comes back.

Especially on both Saturday & Sunday mornings because if anything that was the best time to stay home on the weekend you didn't want to be disturbed when your shows came on. Now I had some favorites from my childhood such as , SWAT Kats, Sonic Sat AM & Adventures of & there's Sailor Moon to name a few. (Yeah I watched quite a bit & they had some good ones.) But anyway what I really enjoy about Kids Click is that its on everyday so something tells me that this is something that'll last for a long time & maybe if we're really lucky maybe might expand.

So here's to you Kids Click & here's hoping that you keep going strong & coming from someone who's a kid at heart that says a lot & thanks so much for bringing back morning cartoons maybe someday we'll see more of your shows in the afternoons in addition.

Here's the website located at the bottom

Also here are some 90s cartoons that are oldies but goodies.

So once again here's wishing Kids Click nothing but luck in everything. Stay righteous & ROCK ON!! SUGEI!!

The Return of Outlaw Star

Hello there everyone. DJ Dizzy here with some exciting news it regards the return of perhaps one of the most popular sci fi anime that of Outlaw Star.

Now from what I've seen it follows the adventures of Gene Starwind a 20 year old who experienced seeing a traumatic space fight which caused his father's death & hatred of space pirates at the age of 15. He runs a business with an 11 year old kid by the name of Jim Hawkins but end up leaving the job to be bodyguards to an outlaw named Hilda but get into a scuffle with some space pirates called Kei pirates & then soon find themselves the owners of a space ship called the Outlaw Star the real name of it is (XGP15A-II )

To save some time here's a link of the characters.

 Outlaw Star characters

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Outlaw_Star_characters

This is considered a space opera style action adventure comedy I saw bits & pieces of it in promos but from what I've heard its supposed to be really good & it looks like it might be. The animation is perhaps on par & the theme song is something that'll get you pumped watching it. But its really cool that Toonami is going to bring this back  on the 29th so be sure to be on the lookout for it if you want to some old school millennial nostalgia.

With that said here's something to get you ready for it. Enjoy!

But overall here's hoping you enjoy it stay righteous!

A quick band update

Hello there everyone. Its DJ Dizzy here just doing a quick update on the status of my band Pyrostorm. Right now we're currently trying to get an instrument for one of the members as well as  trying to come up with a decent time & day to practice.

But other than that we're doing the best that we can to get prepared & us fully situated. However when we do be sure that we'll have plenty of videos to show in addition to lyrics that I've worked on. Be patient & I'll keep you updated as best I can thanks again

Thoughts of a DJ: Hard to handle having it all

Hey there all DJ Dizzy here & once again I need some time to get some things off my chest. It has to do with how people are or can come off as jerks. But mostly how handicapped people are treated. Now speaking as a victim there were times I've seen some of us exploited, verbally abused, harassed, among other things so what I'm asking is why?

Is it because we're different or because we're trying our best to be what we can & you're feeling inferior so because of this you put us down? I know the real truth. And its the reason why some people tends to be jerks is because they want to seek the attention that they never received from their parents or their peers so you do what you can to seek something you never had by faking a handicap or blaming other people for your problems cause you know you can get away with it.

Other times you get swept up into a lifestyle that you've created for yourself to a point where you forget & forsake who you really are & you'd do anything to keep up your newfound image & stats. But something we all have to remember at one time we wanted to be like our idols or the coolest people in school or our neighborhood.

Other times people focus too much on money which is an even bigger downfall. But also know this there's about at least a lot of people out there that rather walk away from stardom because the only thing it ends up doing is dragging you down. So I speak from experience when I say that its better to know who your real friends are & never try to always want or hope for more. Because its just better to be happy with the things that you have. You don't need to have everything to feel good about yourself.

I'm Not your baby

This song goes out to all the girls out there. Enjoy!

I'm not your baby-lyrics


(Verse 1)

You can put in in a short dress
Make up, jewelry, & take down my hair
Suddenly you say I’m yours
Then your friends want to stop & stare
But one thing I’ll never be
Is a piece of your property.
So listen up real good
Cause I’m saying this only once.

(Chorus)
Just because you claim I got some skills
I’m not one of your cheap thrills.
I’m not someone you can call out
On your little score card.
I’m not your female dog
You want respect from me
Well let’s get something straight
I’m not your baby!




(Verse 2)

You smooth talk your ways
All day filling up my head with lies
Your words & your appearance
Are just nothing but a disguise
I’ve got you all figured out
We know what you’re really about
Give a listen!

(Chorus repeats)

(Guitar solo, Instrumental.)

We are a sisterhood we are proud!
Everybody shout out loud!

(Repeat twice)

(Chorus repeats twice.)


Call me what you want

But I’m not your baby!

Back Off! - Lyrocs

Back Off!- Lyrics

(Chorus)

Back off cause we take no mess

Go on & put us to the test

I dare you to try to take us out

We’ll show you what rock’s all about.

Try to step to us you’d better back off!

 

(Verse 1)

We’re only saying this once

You’d better come with some game

Once you take in our sound you’ll never be the same.

Take a listen as it crushes down

We’re coming in loud our time is now.

Here we come ready or not better keep your

Cool cause its going to get hot.

 

(Chorus repeats)

 

(Verse 2)

Here we come now

We’re ready & packing a lot

Think you can defeat us?

Sorry to say but that’s a not!

You may have the battle in your

Favor but prepare for the war

We’ve got the skills & we’re

Prepared to settle out this score.

We’ve got the real power by the hour

 

(Chorus repeats.)

 

(Guitar solo, Keyboard solo.)

 

(Chorus repeats)

 

Better Back Off!
