This Day in History: The movie Caveman was released on this day in 1981. It was one of my favorite comedy movies at the time, starring Ringo Starr, Dennis Quaid, Shelley Long and Barbara Bach. Ringo Starr and Barbara Bach would eventually marry. This movie opens up with "One Zillion B.C. - October 9th". The date of October 9th was John Lennon's birthday. Shelley Long said that at her audition, she didn't speak any English. She responded to everything with a series of grunts. The movie has its own language which you quickly learn: "alunda" is love; "bobo" is friend; "haraka" is fire; "macha" is monster; "nya" is no/not; "ool" is food; "pooka" is broken; "ugh" is like; "kooda" is come/follow etc.
