      Yeah, that one is pretty good, but it’s no Demagnetizer.

    I sent this to my buddy.

    He didn’t get it.

    I feel old.

      You’re not old. You didn’t see TNG on its first run from Farpoint to All Good Things.

      Me? I remember when there were only two Star Treks and one was a cartoon sequel to the other.

        I’m 31. I grew up listening to cassettes. It wasn’t until '03 that I got my first CD player.

        It took longer than I’d like to admit to get the joke.

        I remember when there was just one. I wrongly dismissed the cartoon as not real Star Trek for a very long time, I never realized how good they really were.

          I’m old, but I was young enough to enjoy them as a kid in the 1980s. 2 or 3 years before TNG premiered (I was 10 in 1987), Nickelodeon started showing TAS reruns.

    Big time rip-off. Entire album was only like a minute long.

    On the plus side, after listening to this garbage, all my other music seemed to sound better than ever. Guess something so bad renewed my appreciation for the good stuff.

    Didn’t they also come out with a music video on VHS … I remember seeing it, it was unwatchable.

      Yes and don’t forget they also released little sniffing bottles to bind the whole experience together.

    Not gonna lie, i know what a cassete tape is, listened to them in highschool. I orginally thought this was gonna be a tin foil hat joke. Its a “head cleaner” (memory eraser from men on black) But i didnt know that cassetes players needed cleaned. Thanks for posting, i have learned somthing today!

      No problem. I’ll give you a slightly deeper dive- if you were very into cassette tapes, you cleaned the tape heads manually with a long q-tip with cleaning fluid on it and used a demagnetizing wand. The tapes cleaning were the cheap version of that and did run the risk of scratching the tape heads if any grit got on the cleaning tape.

    I wasn’t aware cassette reading heads needed cleaning. How does this work?

      It’s got a fuzzy strip instead of a tape. You put some cleaning fluid on the fuzzy strip, put it in the machine and press play. Good ones would also demagnetize the play head at the same time.
