Well, my dear friends from the US and Canada … why should you be better off than the poor Germans? This song from hell was number 1 in our charts for months … and number 2 was the same song, but by an Italian band called Haiducci. And in between airings of the video, there would be ads for the ringtone … argh!
It only went away recently, and now I know where it went … hehe.
I like the video, I think it is best described as “Christopher Street Day at Air Romaina”.
I’ve still got that fucking song looping through my brain.
Goddamnit, I’m in mai-la-HELL here. I’m in numa numagony. What kind of Sick. Bastard. would lure hapless dopers into a thread promising good clean amusement and weirdness, only to have them be exposed to the most virulent mind-virus ever exported by Byzantium.
That is dirty fucking pool, my friends. I hope you’re happy. Yeah, I hope you get a big laugh out of this. You’ve ruined my brain, you sadistic creep. When They finally come for yours, I hope they eat it slowly, so you can see how it feels.
But do you think that you are better off now with the crocodile monstosity that goes by the name of Schnappi topping the charts in your country. Luckily it hasn’t found its way to Slovenia yet, but I dare any Doper form the other side of the big puddle to click that link and listen to happy Schnappi songs. Just wait untill this crocodile manages to cross the Atlantic.
I can certainly appreciate how misery loves company. But you are missing the point. These Euro “summer hits” more often than not pass unnoticed through the collective consciousness of the US. Sure, some dance club folks might be familiar with them; I don’t know. But for the vast majority, we have never heard Haiducci or Gunther or Schnappi or any of that bilge. I would have lived the rest of my natural life in ignorant bliss if I hadn’t followed that GODDAM LINK! GODDAMMIT OVER HERE!
The floor is now open to ignorant bliss jokes and observations.
Oh, now you’ve done it. Schnappi is clearly a WMD. Pretty soon, all those marines in Iraq are going to start coming home. I know where to send them next.
Actually, that kind of mindless pap would be unlikely to survive over here. “Cutesy” usually doesn’t cut it in the U.S., at least not with anyone over the age of 4.
There’s a difference between “young and cute” and “cutesy.” “Cutesy” crosses an invisible line into the realm of cloying, sickening treacle. A singing crocodile who has the voice of a 6-year-old is “cutesy.” Anything that involves pink and white kitty cats and bunnies is “cutesy” (I was on a flight from Detroit to Tokyo, and the young adult Japanese folks sitting next to me were using a calculator adorned in this fashion. You wouldn’t be able to sell those in the U.S., at least not to anyone beyond 7 or 8).
*Oh my word this tune is annoying
Yes I know it’s really annoying
I can’t get this song out of my head
Make it stop this tune is annoying
I’ve gotta go to work in the morning
I’m gonna be humming it in my bed
I am considering a 'To esvee, who made me aware of the “My-la-hee” song, since I ‘d never heard of the thing before’ thread. I watched the original video, the kitty parody and then the damn legos.
