Rejected Terminator Music Video Restores Parody Faith
L.B. Rayne’s parody music video “Terminate Our Love” aims to restore faith in comedic spin-offs in the same form as Weird Al music and movies like Airplane!
Laurence Buttler Rayne, created by brothers Joe and Doug Bresler, is the “quintessential hack who never quite got his big break in the entertainment industry and, like many failed artists, has an inventory of embarrassing efforts to show for it.” We’re the lucky folks who get to witness all of his hidden embarrassment.
Doug Bresler is the founder of DoogToons, an animation company that boasts a number of high-profile clients, like Mr. Yankovic himself. However, the Bresler brothers insist L.B. Rayne stands on his own.
Summoning the effeminate traits of Michael Jackson, Prince, and musical styles exclusive to the 80s (think Lionel Richie), L.B. Rayne, complete with a jheri curl and thick black sunglasses (looking like Giorgio Moroder in his prime), created theme songs for a ton of 1980s movies, including Tron, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, and the latest discovery, 1984’s The Terminator, as well as many more that have never seen the light of day… until now!
“Terminate Our Love” is Doug’s sixth video for L.B. Rayne. Take a look at the full music video below, and visit Doug’s YouTube page for more hilarious parodies.
