winnebago man. Not as obscure after they made the movie, but the found film of that era has a few other hits if you go down the rabbit hole

There was a game from my childhood for the Dreamcast called E.G.G. (Elemental Gimmick Gear). I've never heard anyone else talk about it, but I remember it being super cool
Space Siege, it was basically Dungeon Siege but futuristic. I only ever played it from an old PC gamer demo disc.
When I was a child I saw a stop motion animation called 3 Little Pigs Sing a Gig. It was this rather surreal, felt puppet musical of the aforementioned nursery rhyme.
A movie called Sir Henry at Rawlinson's End, extremely surreal British Arthouse. Like an opium dream from the brain of a fox hunting aristo, part comedy part stream of consciousness spoken word poetry. The gags, puns, and quips are truely monumental. It's a gem, though not PC, you've been warned: https://youtu.be/N6W5RB50fXk?si=eYUlKqkTyyMvHz-Z

There was also a radio series and LP. I've heard the radio version but never seen the movie before.
Maybe someone here will help me find a song that I listened to with a friend (and danced a lot) during a summer in the late 90s.
It was an electronic dance song which featured a a very raspy male voice singing in Spanish and would ocasionally make the "pull snot from the throat and spit" sound.
My friend and I have been for years trying to find it to no avail... :(
Do you mean the Macarena?
There's spitting in the macarena? I don't recall that.
That sound is often termed hocking a loogie. Sorry I can't help with the more meaty part of your comment.

Zone of the Enders had a touching anime series about a widowed space truck driver whom stumbles upon a sentient orbital frame which he considers his surrogate daughter as he attempts to become a better father and reconnect with his grown kids, amidst an inter-system civil war.
And I'm kinda sure it's cannon.
No, I am not making this up.
There used to be a website with a rubber man floating on the screen. You could move him around with the mouse and make him stretch out in psychedelic colors. Hours spent doodling.

I swear I'm the only person in the world who has heard of the game "Threads of Fate" for the PlayStation 1. It's the most underrated game I've ever played and deserves more love than it has ever gotten.
