  • This one was tricky, I found about three sources I think. There's the cassette tape, then a muffled recording from the 2000s, and two music videos that aired on Night Flight. Originally, I was going to use the second Night Flight music video, but the treble was too loud, and even after fixing that about ten seconds of the intro was still talked over by the original VJ. The other Night Flight recording was too compressed and muffled to be saved properly, and after listening to the cassette more than enough times, I realized it may be the final recording, not a demo.
    So I remastered the cassette recording instead, it may be compressed to hell but to the casual listener, it sounds just fine. I did my best to remove noise without removing detail and equalize it properly according to the movie to sound as close as possible.

    My name is Mok, thanks a lot
    I know you love the thing I got
    You've never seen the likes of me
    why I'm the biggest thing since World War III, girls
    (His name is Mok, thanks a lot)
    (you think he's acting, but he's not)
    My name is Mok, and I'm on fire
    I'm the match and I'm the pyre
    I'm the voodoo black musician priest
    why I'm the greatest thing since World War III, girls
    (You think he's acting, but he's not)
    (his name is Mok, thanks a lot)
    My name is Mok, thanks a lot
    I'm the power Sodom used on Lot
    I am the pillar, ha-ha-ha-ha, I am the snake
    I'm a beat that makes you shake
    Why I'm the top, the point, the end
    I'm more than a lover and more than a friend
    I am the power of pure desire
    my magic will take you higher
    Than you've ever been before
    so follow me beyond the door
    Of the stupid hopes and dreams you've got
    My name is Mok, thanks a lot, girls
    (His name is Mok, thanks a lot)
    (you think he's acting, but he's not)
    (The show that you're about to see)
    (in the absolutely finest greatest
    wonderment since World War III)
    My name is Mok, thanks a lot
    just wait till you see what I have got
    There is nothing up my sleeve
    come look at this, there's nothing compared to me
    I am the killer, I am the source
    and you will worship me of coarse
    I'm the oracle, I'm the seer, the wit
    there is no question that I am it, ha-ha-ha
    I know what you've been waiting for
    and you won't have to wait no more
    Cause history reveals my friend, it reveals one thing
    there's only one beginning and one end
    There's only one, you're one and only is there not
    my name is Mok and thanks a lot, hey girls
    (His name is Mok, so thanks a lot)
    (he looks so cool, but he's hot)

      If only that were possible! Unfortunately these songs are owned by their respective artists, not Nelvana, one would have to not only get the rights from the artists (and/or their respective estates and labels) but also from those who own the distribution rights to the film. I don't think that'll happen anytime soon, what's been released officially is what we have, and what hasn't, I don't know if it ever will. Debbie Harry seems to have forgotten about this film, so has Lou Reed's estate, but it's impossible to know for sure. There just isn't any real money to be had from this.

Even if it did work by some miracle I wouldn't have to be involved at all. If Cheap Trick's, Earth, Wind FIre's, and Iggy Pop's songs have been released officially I think it's safe to assume what's left exists in their respective archives since the others have survived. And if they do, they're going to use those recordings, not the trashy mono transfers from a cassette tape I pulled online, and they'll use audio professionals, not a guy on youtube.
