The Flintstones premiere reminds me of that time teen idol, Rock Roll, had an allergic reaction to pickled dodo eggs, rendering him unable to speak or sing, and Fred steps in to save the day lip-synching "The Bedrock Twitch."

I thought the artist name was "Dick Hell" and I was going to comment about that but now I see it's even worse. Hot steel though.
