What tables are we hearing on Elvira's T.V. during Match?

Richard B · Oct 30, 2012

So far I've placed TOTAN, AFM, and Who Dunnit.

Ones I don't know:
"Mommy, please!"
"It's a great day for racing"
The weird singing one.

CFTBL: "Move Your Car"

heberts811 · Oct 30, 2012

I'm not sure but isn't "it's a great day for racing" from Indy 500? BTW What quote is from Who Dunnit?

LOL at "Move Your Car!"

Found another: "This just in: reports..." from Attack From Mars

"Tell me more. . ."
Whodunnit is one of those great tables that are underrated, though that's good for collectors (and FS), as they are much cheaper, and easier to procure.

I only saw Whodunnit one time at a bowling alley in another state so I am unfamiliar with all the sounds it makes.

"It's a great day for racing" is indeed from Indy 500. There are some threads about the match sequence on RGP and the consensus is that "wah, wah, wah" and "mother please" aren't borrowed from other machines. "Mother please" is from an old commercial apparently.

Pinballwiz45b · Nov 11, 2012

Wtf? "The most beautiful princess....." TotAN opening???

What is RGP?

BonzoGonzo · Nov 11, 2012

isn't "it's a great day for racing" from no fear?

Sorry, forget to put that link in- RGP (rec.games.pinball) is a google groups forum about pinball that's as old as the hills. Mostly people buying and selling parts and machines, but some general pinball discussion as well.

I think you're right. Sounds familiar to me, but I've never played 'Indy500'.

"It's a great day for racing" is Indianapolis 500. You can hear it for yourself, about 15 seconds into this video (from Visual Pinball.)

Hah, and I know that your signature is the TILT from "Eight Ball Deluxe". I used to OWN at that game.

I think the "Mother, Please!" quote is from the movie Mommy Dearest, which she probably hosted on her show. Either that or The Exorcist...

Sinistar · Feb 20, 2013

Elvira would not screen Mommy Dearest , there are no monsters , no schlocky nostalgia , and the royalties would automatically disqualify it , it was also a Oscar winning film . Reeefer Madness, yes, I was A TeenAge Werewolf with a young Michael Landon in the titular role, yes, but Oscar nominated flicks, never happened.

You're probably thinking of "It's a beautiful day for skydiving."

Probably a good thing about the "wah wah wah." If that played continuously on a future table, it would be more annoying than the "Pop Goes the Weasel" tune on TZ. That never fails to drive everyone around me nuts. Even my dog can't stand it, and runs away whenever it starts.

Perhaps it was in Elvira: Mistress of the Dark. It's been well over a decade since I last saw it.

Captain B. Zarre · Aug 13, 2013

MAJOR BUMP:

Considering everyone's possibilities, here's the overall list.

"Move your car!" CFTBL
"A most beautiful princess..." TOTAN
"Tell me more..." W?D
"The earth is under attack..." AFM
"It's a great day for racing!" I500
"Mother, please!" I dunno, most likely the movie
The weird singing one- Phantom Haus (cool little redemption game someone posted! Thanks!)

What tables are we hearing on Elvira's T.V. during Match?
