Duck tales has had a reboot that has the same theme tune. It’s no longer a useful form of age verification.
Fine. Tale Spin it is or would you like the Super Mario Bros Super Show theme?
Still not convinced? How about the Animaniacs theme song??
I can almost remember and it burns to not quite have it.
I’d do the “The Nations of the World” but I put my back out last time.
I put my back out getting out of bed.
I put your mom’s back out getting into bed.
…woo hoo?
This doesn’t work if you have ADHD:
Life is like a hurricane,
Here in, Duck-berg!
something something rhymes with cane,
It’s a, duck-blur!
Let’s solve a mystery,
or rewrite history!
Ducktales! Ooh ooAnd that’s all I’ve got.
Oh it’s worse not only do I have ADHD, back when I was an edgy teenager a friend of mine made up a racist version that’s insanely inappropiate and overly violent.
Now we weren’t racist or anything, it was the early 2000’s we were bored, we thought shock humor was funny, and we didn’t think anyone would think we were racist. Trump hadn’t normalized Nazism, so people just thought you were being ironic at best or they just didn’t give a shit at worst.
But I think of his racist version when I think of Ducktales.
No I’m not going to recite the lyrics for you, are you insane? It’s so bad I wouldn’t post it if this were 4chan.
I had a similar experience with the devil went down to Georgia. One of the first mp3s I ever had was a parody version about cannabis. I don’t know any of the lyrics to the original but I know that one by heart
JOHNNY ROLL A BALL OF HASH AND MAKE SURE ITS THE BOMB
CAUSE THE DEVILS GOT THE KIND OF STUFF THEY SMOKED IN VIETNAM
I think it’s called The Devil Went Down To Jamaica
Every day I’ve been making!
Fuck! I was singing that song after reading the post and I sang that fucking line right before reading your comment and now I can’t remember that part of the fucking song!
The brain is fucking stupid.
Racecars, lasers, airplanes
They used the same song for the 2017 reboot, so that wouldn’t work. (Same lyrics, new recording.)
Can confirm. My kid’s watched the series over summer break and it’s been stuck in my head.
🎶🎵Duck Tales WOO HOO 🎶🎵
Ok what about Darkwing Duck or TaleSpin?
They’d work. They both got referenced in the DuckTales reboot (along with Gummi Bears and Rescue Rangers), but they never got their own modern shows.
There was a rescue Rangers movie like 3 years ago
Counterpoint: No one remembers that.
Spin it let’s begin it bear and grin it when you’re in it, you can win it in a minute if you spin it spin it spin it!
Ah, yes, but did they do the full 3 minute version that most 80s and 90s Disney cartoon series had?
It’s only two minutes, but it still has two verses, the bridge, and the key change for the last chorus. I think they upped the tempo in the new version, so they burn through the song faster.
I was struggling to remember the song and so clicked on your link. It’s a surprise to realize it’s the updated version. I was thinking for two minutes that I had a really terrible memory. Then I found the original and it’s entirely familiar.
Scrooge is also voiced by David Tenant.
don’t get me started on the voice cast. i have no good reason i haven’t watched it yet
It’s worth a watch. Or at least a stint as background noise while coding.
Inspector Space Time and The Doctor have worked together.
Well, I can’t be mad about that.
Its actually crazy wholesome. Harkens back to the idealistic ideas of the ‘venture capitalist’. But in serious, its good.
Well what about tiny toon adventures, then? Or the Gummies Bears?
Thunder, thunder, thundercats [blank]
Please fill in the blank, sir.
HooOOOO!
Here’s your beer.
So, in Ireland, you need to go to a so called Off License to purchase alcohol or ciggies (the latter you can purchase at a newsagent as well). Went to my local grocery shop which had its own Off License to buy some tobacco. New guy working there, apparently from Poland. He asked me for my ID. I gave him my ID from another EU country which is basically the size of a credit card. He would absolutely not believe me that this was my official ID - even though as far as I know, the Polish IDs are the same format. He insisted I’d have to provide him with a drivers license (which I never had in the first place) or to show him my passport (which I didn’t own either since you don’t need one travelling from one EU country to another). This went back and forth for about ten minutes until I asked to speak to the manager for the first time ever in my life. Manager popped by and I explained what was going on. The manager checked my ID card and told the new guy: ‘Of course that’s an official ID, you gobshite…’. It made me chuckle and off I went with my tobacco.
For those curious, the “off” means “off premises” (or something like that, they may use a different wording), so a license for a store that can sell alcohol that must be taken elsewhere to be consumed, i.e. a liquor store or package store. The inverse is an “On-License”, a license to sell alcohol that may be consumed on premises, so things like bars, pubs, and restaurants.
In Australia🦘 we call this a takeysip.
No we don’t, literally never heard of that.
I’m gonna believe the other guy because it’s funnier that way.
Can’t argue with that
In Australia, we call this a hoolerydoo
Yeah the IDs should be the same across the EU except for the background motive
Edit: nvm they’re all over the place
In Cypress is everything written in 3 alphabets?
Edit: two alphabets, 3 languages?
The Cypriot looks like a police sketch.
Mr. Liechtenstein could use some sleep.
Are you one of those 40 year olds that look like they are 15 or something?
Close, 38. :D
Stop trying to pretend you’re younger, spez
I am totally not Spez.
Sure buddy *winks*
Throws targeted ads at you and permabans you afterwards
Damn you Steeeeve Hufflepuff!
hegestus, brought to you by the church of latter day days
You’re one of those 40 year olds who looks 38?
my favorite incident like this happened in utah. with mineral water.
Error 404; does not compute. Care to share that bonkers story with us?
i was buying perrier and the cashier at a walmart in utah must’ve thought it was liquor. probably had never sold alcohol because, y’know, the register tells you to check id. kept demanding to see my identification. I was amused. told her no. went back and forth a bit (including me telling her I wasn’t buying anything that needed my ID) until we got her manager, who told her i was buying water and to stop being an idiot.
Jaysus Christ and all his carpenter friends… Would’ve loved to see the look on her face after the manager got involved. :D
kind of angry at me for embarrassing her at work even though she embarrassed herself but needed someplace other than herself to place the blame?
I’d also accept “The Nations of the World” by Yakko Warner.
Singing that one from memory is quite a feat
Especially with all the countries that no longer exist!
That’s how you know they’re old.
Points at UK
“England”
He then also mentions Scotland separately.
Also the Gummy Bears theme.
Yeah but that one isn’t hard.
Now crazy frog would be impressive.
Me at 21 with a beard: No questions
Me at 34 with no beard: No questions . Damn, ouch.
This is the song that never ends.
… Fuck you.
Gummy bears for me lol
The verse of the Gummy Bears theme tune is just the Soviet Union National Anthem speeded up. Same chord sequence.
If you put the Gummy Bears lyrics and the English translation of the Soviet Anthem next to each other, the two sets of lyrics are pretty much interchangeable.
Commie Bears.
Enjoy :)
Brilliant! Did you figure that out yourself?!
I think so, but it was a long time ago! I think I was trying to play the anthem on piano, and whilst working it out, suddenly thought “this is just the Gummy Bears theme tune slowed down”.
With some more talent, confidence and free time, I would have attempted to produce a recorded version in the last decade or so - but I never did, so if anyone else can, please do so. It’s probably worth quite a few “Internet points” :)
Bouncing here and there and everywhere?
High adventures that’s beyond compare!
They are the Gummy Bears!
Magic and mystery are part of their history
Along with the secret of gummyberry juice
🎵Life is like a hurricane🎶
here in Duckburg
Race cars, lasers, aeroplanes
It’s a… duck blur?
Might solve a mystery,
Or rewrite history!
WOO HOOO
I tend to point at the grey in my beard, but they still ask.
Former Retail Worker Here: I got cussed out by a lot of senior citizens who thought I was fucking with them when I asked to see ID. I absolutely wasn’t, the machine would not let me process a sale of alcohol unless I scanned in the ID. I didn’t have a choice.
Moving to the UK I have not been carded once. I look young for nearly 40, if I say so myself. It’s much more civilised.
You do realize I’m legally not a woman in UK right?
I can only do it in Finnish D:
I can do the whole Fresh Prince intro, though! Back in school in the early ‘00s my geo teacher jokingly said “extra credit to anyone who can recite the Fresh Prince intro in front of class” and I stood up and recited it. Got points on my next assignment for it. Thanks, early /b/.
Did you do the extra verse with the flight, or was it the usual version where he takes a cab from Philadelphia to Bel Air?
Just the TV version!
“If youre a cop you’re a genius because no millennial bartender can resist that”
No? Ducktales not good enough? Okay, then what about …
Heathcliff, Heathcliff, no one should terrorize their neighborhood. But Heathcliff just won’t be undone, playing pranks on every one.
How about Adventures of the Gummi Bears.
