Ok nerds. I propose a new 'disaster liniage' in sci fi.

MLM March 2025 day 27 picnic

To celebrate Mabon (the Autumn equinox, also Wiccan Thanksgiving) here is The Hex Girls (Wiccan Eco-Goth band) singing Earth, Wind, Fire, and air. The song and holiday are all about appreciating what Mother Earth provides for us. The song was supposed to be "Earth, Water, Fire, and Air" but someone at Warner Brothers made them change the words for copyright concerns even though the elements are Earth, Air, Fire, and Water and Spirit in Wiccan elemental beliefs. The Hex Girls performed this and three other songs for the Scooby Doo animated movie Scooby Doo and The Witches Ghost from 1999 (featuring Tim Curry). They were pretty much Goth Spice Girls. This movie was the first time I'd seen a cartoon address the spiritual beliefs of Wicca and it was very positive. This is one of my favorite Scooby Doo animated movies because 1. The ghost was real, it wasn't someone in a costume. 2. Tim Curry was in it. (He's in two animated Scooby Doo movies. He's also the Goblin King in Scooby Doo and The Goblin King) 3. It teaches about Wicca in a positive light, in fact only a pure hearted Wiccan could banish the ghost. 4. I really loved the music in it. 5. It was fun seeing Velma crush on Ben Ravencroft (long before they canonically made her a lesbian. I sometimes imagine her as bi to accommodate her crush and her song about the crush "It's a Mystery.") Anyway, here is "Earth, Wind, Fire, and air." I wish someone would cover it with the corrected lyrics of "Earth, Water, Fire, and air." Happy Mabon! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJDaaCtJ85c
