Its not Cradle Of Filth I'm afraid, I have seen both Cradle of Filth and the band in question play the Royal Court theatre bar room in Liverpool on multiple occasions. The first time I saw Cradle Of Filth was before they had a record deal or wore makeup, ha ha. Cradle of Filth are from Colchester, the other band, and the answer, are American. It isn't Zombie Cannibals by the way.

Ha ha, I personally love Winonas Big Brown Beaver. Who doesn't. :D

Keeping a bit of a, ahem, musical theme which band does one see performing onstage in Ace Ventura Pet Detective and what song are they playing?

Was it Cannibal Corpse? That's the only one I can think of with the other two you've ruled out.

Do we have a song name? (I use song in the broadest possible sense of the meaning. Ha ha. I'm taking the mick out of myself because I love this stuff).

Ages since I saw that film. I'm sure the song was 'Hammer Smashed Face'.
Quite into that sort of music myself.

From the Tomb Of The Mutilated album. You got half each so I don't know if maybe yourself and 507021 maybe want to get your heads together and decide who is taking the floor. Whatever the normal practice is.

Apologies for taking so long to come back. I will allow 507021 to set the next one, as quite frankly I have no questions leaping to mind at the moment.

Fair play mate, good answers from you both, not a particularly high profile band for many. 507021, the slaughterhouse floor is yours.

As no question has been set here's one from me, something I learned only today.

Where would you find Demodex folliculorum?

Warning: you might not like the answer.

Remember no googling.

I remember seeing something about this in NZ whilst on a railrour bizarrely!. Its some sort of mite or tick which you get on your face. Its common with those who work with animals and a problem during lambing or shearing seasons.

That's correct, here's a couple of quotes from Wikipedia:

These mites are found in human hair follicles, normally found in greater numbers around the cheeks, nose, eyebrows, eyelashes, and forehead.

A 2014 study found that 100% of people over age 18 in the study had mite DNA on their faces, suggesting that the mites are universal inhabitants of adult humans.

Pause while everyone goes and washes their face and then it's your turn...

The legendary Isle of Wight Festival in 1970 was filmed but for some reason (presumably contractual) it wasn't ever broadcast or made available. That situation eventually changed some time ago, however showing the complete film will now certainly cause offence- why?

Doubt that would cause offence these days!

No I suppose not. I'm struggling to think of anything that would.
What about some kind of racism? Did somebody say something on stage that wouldn't be allowed today?

Yes thats it. The BBC paedophile opened the show and compered most of it. Noticed that when I saw the running order and poster at the supurb Revolutions exhibition at the V & A yesterday. There was also a section where you can thumb through old records in boxes and they had left one in by Rolf Harris!

Your muddy, weed hazed floor..

Well I never. I'd better give Mrs Cowley the credit for thinking of that actually.

Moby Dick, after he ate a Chinese fishing vessel?:P

I hope you have a question ready because it's your turn.

The "junk" is an organ in the head of sperm whales.

From Wikipedia:

Below the spermaceti organ lies the "junk" which consists of compartments of spermaceti separated by cartilage. It is analogous to the melon found in other toothed whales. The structure of the junk redistributes physical stress across the skull and may have evolved to protect the head during ramming.

In the 19th century there were instances of whaling boats being rammed and sunk by sperm whales.

I thought it was a reference to Fergie from the Black Eyed Peas by lyrical genius Will I Am. (I am being tongue in cheek about the halfwhit).

It appears krus_aragon hasn't recovered from the shock of getting the last question right. To keep things turning over here's a quickie:

What is a "mondegreen"?

What is a "mondegreen"?

A misconception / mis-hearing on the part of one or more people, about what the lyric of a song says. The original "mondegreen": in an old ballad, a chap is killed; following which, "they laid him on the green" -- which somebody misunderstood to think it referred to an aristocratic female, one Lady Mondegreen.
