Hilarious!
Better than any attempt I’ve ever heard at Karaoke night
The average drunk should never attempt that song!
First of all, that was epic. Second of all, a Youtube commenter posted this: “They say that if humans were to disappear that Parrots would carry on parts of our language to their off spring for about 250 years…if so we can take comfort in knowing Drowning Pool will endure the post-apocalyptic world for some time!” Is there a nugget of truth in that? I mean, it makes sense, we teach a bird some English, we die, it uses the English around its children which pick it up and speak it on their own, etc.
Now I’m imagining populations of parrots in the wild speaking English.
Sets off to purchase a thousand parrots, teach them English and release them into the wild.
I am of the opinion that if you heard this at night without knowing it was a parrot, you’d never sleep again. Seriously, listen to the video without actually watching it and tell me you’d actually think that was a parrot and not a fucking banshee coming to steal your soul (or whatever it is banshees do).
You guys are hilarious. Epic, soul-stealing banshee parrots ruling the post-human apocalyptic world for the win!
And the lyrics of Drowning Pool the new Bible for parrot religion…wow!
ETA: upon re-watching, its not the screeching “floooooor” that gets me, or that it regurgitates tidbits of the song lyrics. Its the whispering part…“Let the bodies hit the floor” whispered menacingly by a parrot is fucking creepy!
That was awesome.
Yeah, it doesn’t necessarily have to be the screeching that’s terrifying. Hearing whispering of any sort in pitch darkness would be enough to take up a “sleep four hours a day routine”.
And then, a spaceman from the past would land on the mysterious Planet of the Parrots, where he’d be tormented and treated as a slave, until finally able to escape and discover
the Statue of Liberty buried in the sand. “You Maniacs! You blew it up! Ah, damn you! God damn all you parrots to hell!”
A little while ago, my son found a You Tube video of Kirby (The pink Nintendo critter) with said song used as a soundtrack. He’s gonna freak out when he sees this.
So…did he?
I’m in the market for a parrot. Seems I gotta get one RIGHT NOW DADDY.
Awesome.
God…the metal genre just gets more and more fragmented, and everybody argues what is what. I miss the old days when metal was just…metal.
Really spooky coincidence to have this song show up again in connection with the Giffords assailant.
???
It was the background music to his flag-burning video.
omg i think i hurt myself laughing.
Don’t forget the part about the lyrics from Drowning Pool being the parrot’s bible and linguistic resource. Its an important consideration when attempting to adapt to the new parrot Overlords.
Pool 1:1 Nothing wrong with me.
Pool 1:2 Nothing wrong with me.
Pool 1:3 Nothing wrong with me.
