I cant stop hearing Neil Young singing Southern Man every time I see your user name. I am not suggesting anything about you or some significance to the song, just the phonetic similarity. It is driving me fucking nuts. Everytime I see you I start singing the damn song in my head. I know this is a ME issue and not a YOU issue, but hell its late, not much happening on the boards. 
PS I hope this can squeeze in udner the wire without violating any rules, technically it is an issue about the mods.
Cajun Man

Don’t forget
what the Master said
VB change

Now your hamsters

Cajun Man
I saw puppets

Troll-like bridges

Cajun Man

I heard whooshing,
and mods-a-sickened
How long? How long?
Cajun Man

Don’t forget

Now five dollars

HOOOWWWW LOOONNGG?
[sub]I’m sorry, just had to…[/sub]
Now, see…I always think of that great old Johnny Rivers song.
You know, Secret Cajun Man?
Nothing to be sorry about, that was the most creative and funny thing I have seen in a long time! The fact that you posted it less than twenty minutes after the OP is astounding. Thanks, great post!
PS I would have posted this sooner, but apparently the hamsters were on a lunch break or something… :rolleyes:
They just better get faster and take less breaks when I pay my five bucks… 
Me, too!!!
I don’t normally do “Me, too” posts, but I was actually hearing “Secret Cajun Man” in my head while reading the OP, and then you’d already gone and posted it. :mad: 
There’s a mod who leads a life of danger
To everyone online he stays a stranger
With every thread he moves another poster "boo"s
Odds are I won’t live to see tomorrow
Secret Cajun Man, secret Cajun Man
They’ve given you a password and now you’ll make your name
Beware of cute user names that you find
A silly post can hide an evil mind
Ah, be careful what you say
Or you’ll give yourself away
Odds are you won’t reply, even tomorrow
Secret Cajun Man, secret Cajun Man
They’ve given you the power and now you’ll claim your fame
------ lead guitar rawks out ------
Secret Cajun Man, secret Cajun Man
I think I’m on thin ice now, should we take this to AIM?
Swingin’ on the SDMB one day
And then layin’ in the Fathom alley next day
Oh no, you let the wrong sock post
While distracted by my toast
To you, are you ever going to read this?
Secret Cajun Man, secret Cajun Man
They’ve fired up the hamsters, and taken away your time
Seeeecret — Caaaaajun Maaaaan!!!
[sub]okay, now I’m REALLY sorry…[/sub]
Personally, I hear the voice of the voice-over guy in the Trojan commercials.
“CAYjun MAAAN!”
And Darth, that parody, in under 20 minutes, and hardly re-using any line in the original song? Bloody brilliant.

I. Hate. You.
Hey! Mr. Cajun Man, move this thread for me,
It’s about opinions, and this isn’t the forum it was going to.
Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, close at the request of the OP,
In the jingle jangle morning I’ll come messagin’ you.
Though I know that my pointless thread has returned into sand,
Banished from my land,
Left me blindly here to stand but still not posting.
Your moderating amazes me, I’m branded on my feet,
I have no one to Pit
And the M-P-S-I-M-S’s too dead for dreaming.

Darth: you rock.
askpetic: curse you ! I hadn’t noticed before you pointed it out …
Good thing it’s one of the best songs ever, otherwise, I’d be really annoyed.
*Well I heard askeptic sing about him,
Well I heard ol’ skep knock his pseudonym.
Well, I hope askeptic will remember
A Cajun Man don’t need him around MP-SIMS
Sweet home BBQ Pit
Where joke threads are taboo
Sweet home SDMB
Lord I’m comin’ home to you*
You sure as shit did not hear
ol’skep knock any pseudonym.
I hope you will remember
that CajunMan is
more than capable
of defending himself
if he percieves an insult.
This was not a joke per se,
I really do hear that song
every time I see the name.
BTW that is not
in any way
suggesting something wrong with
his username.
And I am from Alabama,
and even though I loved that song by Skynard,
when I realized what it meant
I knew that it represented
support of Racism and Ignorance.
Thats when I threw the LP
(yes LP, thats how long ago it was)
in the trash.
I don’t think you realized what the song meant, then. It’s certainly not racist. If anything, it attacks the ignorance others have towards Southerners.
Anyway, calm the hell down. See, I took the part of the song about “Southern Man” and I changed it to be about Cajun Man. Just like you did, but the other way around. See that? It had nothing to do with me attacking or defending anyone.
First I am calm, bored but calm. Second you better read the lyrics again. I quote:
Well I was in Birmingham, and no we did not love Wallace. And watergate bothered the shit out of me.
But…er… Watergate didn’t have anything to do with racism, did it?
In West Alabama,
born and raised
in a truck bed
was where he spent most of his days
speakin’ twangy and relaxin’
and spitting some chew
possibly playing football
after he finished school
When a couple of guys
started a band that was good
askeptic hated their record
because he thought it was rude
He threw out the record
Because segregation was bad
and entered the Army
to fight for Uncle Sam
<duh-duh-duh-duh, dada-duh duh-duh-duh>
He pulled up the Straight Dope
March 7th or 8th
And said to the Army
Yo homes, smell you later
He looked at his kingdom
and was sufficiently awed
to post a million times a day
on the straight dope boards
<duh-duh-duh-duh, dada-duh duh-duh-duh>
I’m glad I’m not the only one silently singing “Secret Cajun Man.”
It astounds me how many times dumbasses attack people based on post count, While they take pride in how high their own is. Personally I would prefer that neither post counts nor join date be availible. That way each person could be judged on the quality of their posts. If you have a problem with something I post, say it. If you just want to attempt some lame insult, FUCK YOU.
For your information the Skynard song was a direct response to Niel Young’s Southern Man. I merely stated that I was in Birmingham when it came out. That contrary to the LYRICS we did not all love the Govenor. Also contrary to the LYRICS Watergate did bother me. Why you feel the need to jump in a thread started in fun with your BS irrelevent post count attacks, I cannot imagine. :rolleyes:
Where, exactly, did I complain? I don’t care how many times you post, buddy. I was making what I thought was a rather witty comment on the fact that a couple of people bitched about it.
Jesus… lighten the fuck up. I wasn’t even making fun of you.
Sorry, I have just fielded a few too many comments about my post count recently. Which ironically increases my post count. Again sorry for freakin out (did not really freak was just alittle annoyed)
Incidentally, askeptic, I think you should check out those lyrics again. I was convinced for a long time that it was a pretty racist song, but I’ve changed my mind for the most part. I still have some questions, but right here’s as good a chance as I’ll ever have to build my case.
First off, I always thought it was “Boo Hoo Hoo” after the guv’nor line, as in, stop crying about it, what’s done is done. It’s not in the lyrics from the official site at all, so who knows.
Anyway, about this:
I hear Lynyrd Skynyrd actually really admired Neil Young, for what it’s worth, so it wasn’t exactly a war. I just thought that after Young wrote “Southern Man” and “Alabama,” Skynyrd decided to stick up for their roots, and that’s what “Sweet Home Alabama” is about.
What I was trying to say before was that the way I interpreted it, that verse you referenced means that just as not all Northerners, or even all Americans, bear the guilt for Watergate, neither are all Southerners represented by Wallace and his supporters. Why else would “We all did what we could do” be in there, unless he means they disagreed? You don’t honestly think he means he did what he could do to keep blacks out of schools, do you?
The Watergate line is a question- “Now Watergate does not bother me, does your conscience bother you?” In other words, do the Neil Youngs of the world feel responsible for the bad deeds of others, and if not, why are all Southerners responsible for what Wallace did? That’s how I take it, anyway; it seems pretty vague, and I don’t really think it’s supposed to be of earth-shattering significance. I think it’s just a little dig at the band’s buddy Neil, while at the same time trying to defend the South from blanket condemnation. An in-joke that turned out to be one of the most popular songs of all time.
I also think it’s pretty hard to call Van Zant a racist when another song from that same album is a tribute to an old black blues player who Van Zant loved when he was a kid. And honestly, in every other song, they sure sound pretty progressive to me.
This hi, I suppose, has been thoroughly jacked.
