Very old owl / "Kalinka" bump

ForcedMeme · January 12, 2015, 07:46:39 PM

Hey all! First post here, please be kind. I'm trying to find a bump from, I'd say, at least 10 years ago. It definitely featured the Russian song "Kalinka", just like these. The video, as I remember, was of a stuffed owl, and as the music accelerated, the picture frame started zooming in and out crazily on the owl's eyes.

This was one of my first "WTF" moments with an AS bump that got me hooked, back in the day. I'd love to find it again. Any help?

I might actually have this one on VHS... I found some references to a Miss Adult Swim and some disagreement as to whether she was an owl or a hawk, set to the tune of Kalinka and dated around March 30, 2004. I seem to recall having practically every day for a week or two leading up to the April Fools stunt but NOT actually having it

*ack* This was also around the time they did the Croc vs. Shark bit and I already transferred a bunch of bumps from that to DVD, if we're lucky it's there.

Anyway, let me poke around a bit to see if I can track those down.

NumyMufn, thanks! "Miss Adult Swim" definitely rings a bell. I suppose I'm also not 100% sure about it being an owl, but since AS has a clear preference for owls...

Hey NumyMufn,

Just checking back to see if you'd found this?

Ummm... yes, I actually did

Sorry, I was still in a state of shock (of finding it) and 'wtf?' after viewing it... not mention confused that it was labeled 'Part II' but no 'part I' was on the disc... then discovering that 'part I' was on the previous night's disc (we're talking a Monday and Tuesday, oddly I don't have Sunday

) but it didn't look any different than 'Part II'

although, it wasn't the best scenario for playing "Where's Waldo" type games of 'hmmm, what's different about this?' AND I was just counting in my head but I think they are both 30 second bumps.

Disclaimer type stuff: What I found were the DVD transfers of the tapes of each night, not the individual bump transfers I had done. Due to the cost of media the tapes were recorded at the worst possible level and the discs at a medium grade quality, plus my cable signal booster was slowly dying at the time SO... these are not great quality things. I will be able to produce SOMETHING but it will not be 'pretty'

That's amazing, nonetheless. Thank you!
