Radiskull and Devil Doll

I am the Radiskull... I will kill you one by one/one by one!/I am the Radiskull, little honey, I will kill you just for fun!/just for fun!

     These are the opening lyrics of the very first episode of Radiskull and Devil Doll, the great new Internet animated short, created by Joe Sparks, to hit Shockwave.com and our hearts. The show centers on a punk rock skull, named Radiskull, who has no feet and no arms, but uses his really sharp teeth to devour his enemies. Accompanying him is a tiny creature in red pajamas, with a yellow smiley face, and horns. He's Devil Doll and as my girlfriend says, "He's soooo cute!" Together the two representatives of Hades make fun of Halloween, snow and goody goodies. Radiskull and Devil Doll love one thing just as much if not more than making fun of people, they like to KICK IT in every episode. Performing hard rock, rap tunes that are just too damn funny, not to enjoy.

Listen up y'all, I'm the Devil Doll/I'm not very tall, but I'm havin' a ball/I'm rabid like rabies/movin' a Mercedes/a hit with the ladies/reprezentin'/Hades!

     This duo is fast becoming a cult classic with seven episodes all ready getting play on Shockwave's site for such animated shows as The Critic, The Accuser, and more. It is definitely a site worth checking out, and if you weren't a fan of Radiskull and his little buddy, you will be one after checking this site out.

     The site uses oranges and reds, a perfect array of colors for this devilish duo. The site is also very well laid out, so you will not get confused looking around. Check out the section called Radi-News to find out when the next episode will hit Shockwave, and what else is going on in the world of Radiskull. There is even a link that will enable you to join the Radiskull mailing list, so you stay on top of all the latest developments in . You can also check out the news archive and never miss a step.

     But if news is not what you are looking for, go to the merchandise section complete with pictures, and purchase t-shirts, key chains, and even a cute Devil Doll toy. Awww! If you watch the cartoon, you will want a Devil Doll toy. I know I will get one soon. Devil Doll is sort of a mascot for the newspaper I also work for. Not a day goes by that we don't listen to the Radiskull and Devil Doll song from the original episode. Soon, it will be time to make several of the other songs a part of our daily lives.

I was born with heavy horns on my head/I'm known to hang around with the undead/You always see me comin' cuz I am RED/You never forget a single word I spread/Like the wine to the women/the women to the song/the Gene to the Simmons/I never get it wrong/The pong is pingin', the dong is dingin',/the Kong is Kingin' to the rhymes I'm slingin'

     These type of rap lyrics can be heard on every one of their animated shorts. There are links for every episode, with pictures, and descriptions of each episode, for your convenience. The link takes you to another page, which enables you to download the song, get the lyrics or watch the show. Once you download it, you can watch it over and over again, as long as it remains in your Internet cache. But if you don't have time to download a show, you can check out the links to MP3s' and download the songs from each episode and other songs created by Joe Sparks. He is the creator of Radiskull, but he has also produced many other types of songs in the past as well as the present. This guy is a genius and absolutely hilarious.

We'll wham ya, bam ya, Jackie Chan ya/man with a plan ya, bottle and can ya/flim ya flam ya stone cold slam ya/ram ya, damn ya, video cam ya.

     Devil Doll is cool. If you feel the same way, you can go to another link, called Kick It Back, and tell other fans how you feel. You can even send them some art work, photos with Devil Doll and Radiskull, tattoos of the duo, and even MP3s containing mixes of some of your favorite Radiskull and Devil Doll tunes. You may end up seeing them right on the site. Some of the drawings are really cool, and I urge people to check them out.

     In case you have any troubles viewing any of the episodes or listening to the cool songs, there is even a site that will help you learn why those problems are happening. There is nothing this site doesn't have. This site has to be one of the coolest, funniest, smartest, and cutest sites on the web today. If you don't try Radiskull today, you will never know what you are missing, except when he kills you all one by one. JUST FOR FUN!
