Yes, actually.
And they were suprisingly similar.

To be fair it was awarded to them before the Nazis came to power. The fact that they hijacked it into an aryan love-in wasn’t the fault of the olympic organizers..
But Keithy, Nazi’s were MURDERERS!!!!#!!!1
Cite?
I have no idea why Nazis needed an apostrophy?
Or why I can’t spell apostrophe correctly.
Wino has been hitting the bottle pretty hard already apparently.
The tasting sessions in the run-up to Xmas must be awesome.
I like to view it as getting in the spirit of the holidays.
Or is it investing in the spirits of the Hoiday?
They’re ancient ancestors of the Na’vi, apparently.
Not quite at that point.
Kristallnacht hadn’t even happened yet.
As early as 1933 the predecessor of the SS was already murdering political opponents, launching pogroms against Jewish communities, and getting into “street battles” with the personal armies of other political leaders.
Nowhere near on the scale of the murdering after 1942 (when the final solution was agreed on), but still murders.
Sounds like business as usually for most countries. Besides, I don’t know when the 1936 Olympics were awarded, but I know it was way before 1933. In hindsight, they should have cancelled or moved the games (which is not easy), but vision is always 20/20 in hindsight. Let’s just hope that in 50 years from now we don’t say the same of China.
Or Vancouver! Us canucks have been planning things… big things. We’ll take everybody who can’t say aboot properly and send them to hockey camps, we’ll pelt timbits at people who still think Toronto is the capital of our country, and anybody who complains about immigrants not learning “the language” will have to listen to a french canadian mangle english, or an english canadian mangle french!
I’m in! Send me to a hockey camp NOW!! But it must be a co-ed camp.
Now, I’m not sure if this is what you like, but a Canadian women’s hockey player will beat the crap out of you. They’re attractive, but they’re also violent. If that’s what you like, I’ll try and make sure you end up in the right place.
Since I’m a girl and play roller derby I am not so scared of the women hockey players. I just want to see the male hockey players in those garters….Errhmmm…I mean I want to be on an equal opportunity team. Yeah, THAT’S what I mean.
I still prefer lingerie football (for women).
We skate wearing fishnet tights, does that count?
And short-short skirts? I think you’ve got a new stalker, HOW…….ME!
Probably, but is the top tight or not..
*oink oink**
Nucky – Woohooo!!! Maybe you and Mina can join forces so you have more free time by sharing stalking duties.
ILPB – Yes, tight. And when we’re not wearing super short skirts, we’re wearing tiny, shiny hot pants.
HOW shows TOE!!
New Slogan.
Eewww. NO.
Too late HOW it’s in writing.
Fine.
*flips through her derby photos*
Oh, you wanted to see these?? Yeah, computer says “no”.
Ahem, as your new stalker, HOW, I believe I will need to peruse those photos….and any naked ones you have. Just so I know which side is your best when I’m taking my photos…….
I maintain sole possession of all nude photos of HOW. But you’re welcome to look through them.
Thanks for sharing, Mina. Ooooooo, HOW, this is a GOOD one!
I has a sad. “out out out damn demons of LOL speak” **throws holy Sprite on self and whips with licorice stick**
HOw, I didn’t know you did Roller Derby. I’ve worked security for derby matches here. Ya’ll are both tough and very cool! I always feel like the ugly duckling in my stupid security guard uniform.
Diss – I’m not on a competitive roller derby team. I did try out for it but broke a finger during the first round. Plus, I don’t have the time for 3-hour practices, 3 to 4 times a week, plus required volunteer time. I’m on a recreational league, the only difference being fewer hours of practice and no bouts against other leagues. It’s a blast! And, yes, derby girls are very tough and cool (and smelly, but usually only when they slide in to the penalty box for which you’re a judge).
Hmmm…possible girl on girl on girl on girl action. This is relevant to my interests.
Charro, have you ever considered publishing an autobiography? Between the sex, the drugs and the arrests for contributing to the delinquency of minors at the tender age of 14 I imagine it could be a best seller.
I’d buy it
Yay! Well, I’d still buy a copy to help support struggling authors
*stuffs ballot box with yes for biography votes*
Read your autobiography? I want to be IN it!
Just ask, I’m sure they’d show you!
My apologies for guessing your gender wrong, it’s pretty hard to predict based solely on text!
What age group are you looking for, so I know where to place you when… umm when nothing in specific happens because i’m not supposed to talk about it any more.
It’s ok she’s of legal age… for the Phillipines.
Oh, the joys of Canada mean that 16 is legal here too! (It used to be 14)
So she’s at least potty-trained? That’s good.
It’s true, but I think that we should think about keeping this a bit more hush hush. I admit that I’ve already let the fact that we’re taking over their entertainment industry out of the bag, but I believe that it’s time we start considering doing all our planning and scheming in camera. The element of surprise, you know.
Good point. Please disregard everything I have previously said.
I’ve already got our navy assembled….
Do those six Mounties comprise your Navy AND your Marines, Nucky?
We’ve also got a boat that won’t float, and a sub that won’t sink.
Oh, and 2 newfs in a bathtub
Actually, Churj, we sold the subs to West Edmonton Mall, remember?
*wipes off screen*
I’ve been there! The ultimate shrine to consumer culture!!
I still think it’s funny that up until a few years ago, the West Edmonton mall actually had more subs than the Canadian navy. Then we bought a few from the British.
Mind you, then one of those subs burst into flames, so the mall has the same number again!
Silly Canadians, Subs are for eating…
Just a hint for Edmonton Mall: those underwater ones: gotta keep ‘em wet.
Wouldn’t you like to know? BTW, have you ever seen one of our finest in their uniforms?
I have. HOT!!!
Hot, polite, accommodating….what more could you ask for in a man?
Testicles.
Have you ever watched Canadian Bacon?
Yes, saw it. Is that what you’re planning, Churj? It’s kinda Keystone Cops. *snickers at Canadian invasion plans*
“In any decent, God-fearing country I’d be allowed to beat you two to death”.
Dudley Do Right?
You just don’t understand the lure of a man in red serge.
Considering how freaking hawt the mountie was on ‘Due South’,………….
I forgot what I was going to say………*drool*
Paul Gross…..YUMMY!
PK ate my comment! Let’s try it again.
I <3 him!! I watched both series of "Slings & Arrows" because he was in it.
He’s on Eastwick. Crappy show, yummy man.
“Royal mounty: This man was arrested for being in a bad mood. “
For Rattus – “The Canadians. They walk among us. William Shatner. Michael J. Fox. Monty Hall. Mike Meyers. Alex Trebek. All of them Canadians. All of them here.”
Kind of like in the south and Yankees. Down here, and complaining about how they did it up north, and how great the north is. And then you ask them why they are here, and they always say they love it down south……. *sigh*
You’re killing my funneh!! Stop that, JAC!!
Didn’t you know that’s JAC Super Power!!! JAC Funneh Killer **super hero music blares**
Actually, it’s pretty funny how those dang yankees act.
Or maybe their stepdad got transferred and was sent their against his will. Ever think about that???
And that’s how we’re taking over – we look just like you. More or less.
Just more polite.
and we know how to drive in snow!
We could use more of you in the Northeast states, please? Too many mid-Atlantic transplants in SUVs on our roads! *sighs*
That’s not entirely fair. I live in Lousiana and I know how to drive in the snow.
Half an inch doesn’t count. I’m talking about storms where you get close to 10cm in under an hour, on top of ice.
Driving the 401 during rush hour is fun during a storm… there will be 20cm of snow and everybody is still going 120km/h. (Yes, I used metric)
Oh, noes. Metric too confusing for us Americans!
Okay, seriously, not much snow, but rain measured in inches per hour and NO storm drains and NO road crowning. You can make your car float if you drive on the right streets!
No one where I live even knows how to drive in rain, much less snow. Though to be fair we only get a few inches annually.
Wait, I wasn’t saying they know how to drive in it. Just that we have it. They’re all insane drivers.
I know how to cycle in snow (Canadians is tough). August, 38 degrees, 98% humidity – I’m cycling. February, -20 degrees, gale force winds – I’m cycling. I will admit that -20/25 and more than 5 cm of snow is my cutoff point, but otherwise, I’m out there, doing my part for the environment (and avoiding all those angry, wet people stuffed into the assorted rolling tin cans that are heading inexorably towards the stultifying soul killers that are the cubicle farms).
I didn’t mean to say that no Americans know how to drive in snow… I’m sure Alaska, Minnesota, and the northeast all get a fairly decent amount as well.
I just laugh though when I see a newscast from Chicago for example, and the entire city is shut down for a couple of inches, yet when I look out my front window I see 4 feet deep snow in the lawn, but nothing is closed/cancelled.
Excuse you! Chicago does NOT get shut down for a couple of inches. I live in Chicago and I’ve driven just fine when we’ve gotten 30 to 40 cm in less than 24 hours. Granted, it will take you 4 to 5 hours to complete the same commute that usually takes 1 hour, but WE DID NOT SHUT DOWN! We are tough down here too. *stomps off*
She knows what a centimetre is… it brings a tear (of joy) to my eye!
As I said, I’m sure some Americans can drive in snow, but there has to be a reason it takes 5 hours. Most, yourself obviously not included, can’t handle a bit of white fluffy stuff.
Hey! We do shut down for a couple inches of snow (5 centimeters), but our primary snow removal method is waiting for it to melt!
Centimeter? Innat one of those little caterpillar things with all the legs?
Or izzat a milliliter?
Snow isn’t what scares us St. Louisans, although I get nervous every time they predict snow here as my kids’ school calls off every time it snows. No, what scares us is the ice.
I learned to drive in Ohio.
Gah! That was meant for Churj.
Born and raised in Ontario.
Hehe charro, that’s exactly what I mean. “why the hell these assholes have no idea how to drive in the fukcing snow”.
I’d be more afraid of the governator than of the snow as well, don’t worry.
Can you toss a few buttertarts and some poutine my way? Kthxbai.
Hear hear Churj!
But… wait…
Toronto IS the capital of Canada…
and your point?
Yeah BW, what’s your Fvckin’ point? You want some? You fvckin’ WANT SOME?
*Drunkenly waves fist
*hugs BW* I laav you, you’re my besht mate, you are! *vomits*
Ah, that brings back memories. Of course with my friends it was more like “Will someone fight me? Please? I wanna get in a fight with someone”
Oi! You lookin’ at my bird? I’ll f**.. wait you ARE my bird. Allo dawlin’! *nudges supine BW with foot* Oi Bitter mate, ‘ave you met Defo – diffa – deeff – DU?
She’sh my bird she is. Oi laaav ‘er!
*also takes shot of whiskey*
AH IT BURNS IT BURNS!!!!!!
That stuff SUCKS!
A spritzer? Hell no. I just need to stay away from the whiskey. There’s plenty of other alcohol that I enjoy plenty.
I’m also not really sure what makes this recent news.
Maybe the admins think we haven’t discussed this issue enough the first two times this showed up as a LOL…
Well we’d better not make that mistake again!
This gives us another opportunity for a Reverse Godwin. Start an internet discussion with the Nazis, and it will go in an infinite number of different directions.
I’m a little glad to see this. Thirty seconds ago I was trying to remember the name of the law regarding the invocation of the Hitler name, and there you are – it’s Godwin’s Law. I don’t know why that won’t stick when I encounter this law all the time, but the lyrics to “I’ve Got a Brand New Pair of Rollerskates” do, even though I haven’t heard the stupid song since 1975.
Sod’s law, that one.
OMG, Rattus, I have the key to those rollerskates. Let’s sing it together
I rode my bicycle past your window last night
I roller skated to your door at daylight
It almost seems like you’re avoiding me
I’m OK alone but you’ve got something I need, well
(everybody sing)
I’ve got a brand new pair of roller skates
You’ve got a brand new key
I think that we should get together and
Try them on to see
I been lookin’ around awhile
You got something for me
Ohhhhhhh, I got a brand new pair of roller skates
You got a brand new key
OH GOD NO I CAN’T STOP IT
Well you can’t get to heaven
On roller skates (on roller skates)
Cause you’ll roll right by (cause you’ll roll right by)
Those pearly gates
*head esplodes*
To Shortright:-
I drove my tractor through your haystack last night
(ooh aah ooh aah)
I threw me pitchfork at your dog to keep quiet
(ooh aah ooh aah)
Now something’s telling me
That you’m avoiding me
Come on now darling you’ve got something I need
[Chorus] Cuz I got a brand new combine harvester
An’ I’ll give you the key
Come on now let’s get together
In perfect harmony
I got twenty acres
An’ you got forty-three
Now I got a brand new combine harvester
An’ I’ll give you the key
She made I laugh ha ha
I’ll stick by you, I’ll give you all that you need
(ooh aah ooh aah)
We’ll ‘ave twins and triplets
I’m a man built for speed
(ooh aah ooh aah)
And you know I’ll love you darlin’
So give me your hand
(ooh aah ooh aah)
But what I want the most
Is all they acres of land
[Chorus]
Ooaah she’s a lovely bit of stuff an’ all
For seven long years I’ve been alone in this place
(ooh aah ooh aah)
Eat, sleep, in the kitchen, it’s a proper disgrace
(ooh aah ooh aah)
Now if I cleaned it up would you change your mind
(ooh aah ooh aah)
I’ll give up drinking scrumpy and that lager and lime
[Chorus]
Who loves thee baby ha
Weren’t we a grand couple at that last wurzel dance
I wore brand new gaters and me cordouroy pants
In your new Sunday dress with your perfume smelling grand
We had our photos took and us holding hands
Now I got a brand new combine harvester
An’ I’ll give you the key
Now that we’me both past our fifties I think that you and me
Should stop this galavanting and will you marry me
Coz I got a brand new combine harvester
An’ I’ll give you the key
Aahh yu’re a fine lookin’ woman and I can’t wait to get me ‘ands on your land
Curse you paws I thought I’d erased the friggin Wurzels from my memory. Oo aarr.
At least it wasn’t something from the Chuckle Brothers . . .
Out of curiosity, has anyone ever laughed (chuckled, even) at something they read in the Chuckle Brothers?
Yes, but most of them were sectioned shortly afterwards!!!
is this dedicated to me for a reason??
“Aahh yu’re a fine lookin’ woman and I can’t wait to get me ‘ands on your land”
That would be my guess.
Good guess Steve! Oh and “shortright
the ivanistwho thinks clothes are overrated ““…overrated” may have something to do with it too.
And, in the words ofthe great Python (Monti), “huge, great, t… tracts of land”
risking alienating myself from all you cool folks… i don’t like monty python.
*hides in a corner*
No need, that’s cool, as long as i can keep abusing Python quotes.
Oh and incidentally and seriously, I’m not highly “clothes concious” in a fashion sense, and do do “ugly naked guy” around my place!
Communist Nazi!!!
Any idea what the actual protest was about and where it was? And why the guy with the placard thought he should / would have had any say in the matter?
I think it is from a number of years ago when China was under consideration for the 2008 Olympics.
Well it’s a good thing that didn’t happen.
*sigh* typical american
….In soviet nazi germany, typical American has your final solution right here, adolf…lol.
DON’T MESS WITH THE DISS!!!!!!!
In soviet nazi Germany, typical adolf gets gassed.
Ich wil mein chockomelk!
FAIL! chokomelk could be Dutch but isn’t German. What you mean is maybe “Ich will meinen Kakao” (I want my chocolate milk)
Nein! chockomelk! ich wil chockmelk!
and i will have my chockomelk! *evil laughter whilst petting kitty*
Don’t you mean “katze”?
Which is another in-joke here in itself, search for “Darth Vader balloon” &punditkitchen.
again? really?!
Just like “Groundhog Day”….later do we get one of Hilary making a goofy face? Or will it be a firefighter saving a kitten?
Ooh, ooh, I think I know this one! It will be some moralizing comment on a picture of a soldier/firefighter/cop designed to make me think. By think read: feel bad about myself for two seconds until I realize I come here for the LOLs and Bitter Troll Cookies and have the unreasonable desire to throttle the creator of said caption. Right? What do I win??
You win…most likely an EWAdams LOLame a little later. We’re short on good prizes right now.
(btw, when I read “LOLame a little later” in my head I actually got tongue tied.)
Is it still being tongue tied if it happens in your head? Isn’t that brain tied, or brain fried, or fried squash or something? *has a confused*
It’s probably brain tied, but that’s a permanent condition in my head anyway.
Did somebody call me?
KILL IT!!!! KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!
be nice rando… i think that’s keithy in disguise.
I know.
*pats down charred hair and clothes* yeah, you say that NOW.
That’s what you get for pretending to be Again.
**stops short with sledge hammer between ketihy’s legs** Man did you get lucky!!!
*dons asbestos suit, full body armour and tinfoil hat*
Annnnd for my next impression….. die, idolatrous fornicating liberal scumbags!
*runs away*
Wait! Come back! You forgot to pray for us!
Paul only pretends to pray while secretly hoping God smites us all for being liberal, which, by definition, is immoral and evil in God’s eyes.
(Paul probably thinks the Westboro freaks are too easy going.)
Well I said he’d pray for us, I never said he’d pray for us to live
*claps hands*
Oooh, good one!
I have no idea why someone screaming this makes me giggle so hard, but it does….:-D
Agreed.
Last time we had it, didn’t we go “Again?” then too? I have a feeling this is the third time in less than a year?
Yes, actually we did. Although Germany wasn’t a Nazi-ruled nation at the time the honour was awarded to them, but Nazi Germany DID host the olympics
Try reading the first comment, you twonk.
Twunt.
Twucker.
I read it, and i decided to add my own twist to it fool
So, you read it, and decided to re-word it because you couldn’t come up with something of your own that would be original?
Gotcha.
I saw what you did there; you have been judged, and the sentence is imprisonment for the duration of your death!
How was i trolling? nothing was being slated, and all i wrote was a reasonable comment, what’s the problem?
You were doing nothing more than repeating what someone else had already said. Go look at the recent lol with the soldier petting a kitty and see how many times it’s stated that the soldier is Israeli, not US, it gets really bloody annoying to read the same damned thing over and over, even more so when the person who typed it knows that it’s already been said.
Yes, they did. Quote of Wikipedia.de (translation)

The best part about the Nazis hosting the Olympics was the American, Jesse Owens, a black man, won four gold medals. This flew in the face of Hitler’s propaganda at the time, in which he hoped to use the Olympics as a display of Aryan racial superiority.
Unfortunately, Owens reception in the U.S. at the time was not ideal. While he was given a ticker-tape parade in New York, he was forced to ride a freight elevator to his own reception at the Waldorf-Astoria, and was not invited to the White House by then President Franklin Roosevelt.
I need to adjust my contacts because I first read that as “not invited to the Waffle House by then President Franklin Roosevelt.”
But, yeah, Jesse Owens was pretty awesomely fast.
We can’t have that type at the Waffle House, Diss. Standards and all.
Fvcking elitist waffle houses.
But only in some cities, like St. Paul.. all other locations are just average waffle houses.
The St. Paul waffle houses are the REAL waffle houses. Not like those fvcking elitist waffle houses where they put FCKING ARUGALA on the goddamned waffles. *spits*
MEOW! That sounds awesome.
Woohoo! I’m in!
Every one I’ve ever been in has smelled of old cigarette smoke and BO. I prefer IHOP for those nights when driving home is too dangerous but you’re craving food after you’ve emptied your stomach from too much drinking.
Did he have to sit in the back of the bus, too?
I hate Nazis!
Anonymous is legion
WHAT DID BRAD PITT AND EDWARD NORTON JUST TELL YOU?!
I AM LEGION, WE ARE MANY!!!!
*spits pea soup & rotates head 360 degrees*
*stalking*
You really did NOT want to see that, darlin.
No, I didn’t. But one thing I’ve learned through out my career is that there’s just no telling what’s going to be going on when you pop in on certain clients.
My ex-wife could do that.. scared the bejeezus out of everyone. We finally figured out it was the Jose Cuervo.
I want to comment a lot today. I don’t know how to make funneh out of this.
Get shome drinksh down you. Bitter wino’s opened a few cashes and he’s so rat-arsed he’s just givin’ it away. *HIC*
Waits paitently for drunken girls to start shedding articles of *clothing*
umm, some of us started this way and didn’t need to drink anything…
And all I can say is thank God for that!!
Second!
Stupid internet. Can’t really see the girls naked. *grumpy sigh*
You need beer goggles.
Sorry, I was still in costume from another gig.
I think Paul needs beer goggles.
Among other things. Lots of other things.
A heart, a brain, to get back to kansas…Oh wait, wrong lol.
It doesn’t have to be Kansas. Anywhere else will do!
No not Kansas. Somewhere without internet access.
I’d like to vote somewhere without internet access. Maybe somewhere with lots of angry non-christians who don’t like being told they are going to hell.
Then just send him to my parents’ house. He’ll never open his mouth again…mostly because my dad would staple it shut for him.
See me and DU said the same thing at the same time. Spooky couple..
It just means we’re meant for each other dear.
It also means one of you owes the other a Coke.
Steve forgot recipe… you need drink girls and Bon Jovi playing on the radio for clothes to come off.
*stops removing shirt* I’m supposed to wait for Bon Jovi to play on the radio. Cr*p!
Don’t stop! Don’t stop! Uh, “Whoa, we’re halfway there! Whoa, we’re livin’ on a prayer!” There you go, keep going!
Nope, too late. Better luck next time!
Way to go, ILPB! Sheesh!
Is it MY fault Mina’s a freak and listens to men? We should just take her women card for that fact alone.
I’m not worried about the card. What traditionally defines a woman lies between two things: her legs.
legs or ribs?
I don’t think what you’re referring to is supposed to be between the ribs. On top of the ribs yes, but not between them.
Ok what’s held by over the shoulder boulder holders? That better…
That phrase always makes me giggle.
Sort of like Wee Willy Winky, makes me laugh.
AHHHHHHHHH! My ears, my ears! Holy crap, you actually made them bleed..
Huh….wait, how did my clothes come off? What the heck is going on around here?
I hate to tell you, but you’re listening to a different station and that was Nickleback..
NO, NO, NO, NOT Nickleback, anything but them!
Well, Canada spawned them. Really you Canadians have no one to blame but yourselves.
Spawned just about covers it.
We may have to apologize for Nickleback and Celine Dion…..but the Americans spawned Britney Spears and all those crappy, crappy wannabees…
Besides, I think we can still ride on our laurels with Rush and the Guess Who.
As a Louisiana citizen I would just like to say that we deny IT was born here and henceforth change our claim to fame back to Tim McGraw. That’s all.
The Guess Who is one big winner, but there are still plenty of Canadian bands & singers who are little more than Canadian acts of terrorism in our beloved nation!
And Rush sucks.
And St. Louis gave us Chuck Berry. We win!!!
Bite me, Rando….right here
Funny enough, when I googled “bad Canadian musicians,” it just took me to a list of Canadian musicians.
Brittney Spears. I’m sorry, but Shaq is holding the panda and the Wookie lives on Endor. :p
“Canadians are always dreaming up a lotta ways to ruin our lives. The metric system, for the love of God! Celsius! Neil Young!”
I rest my case.
Ever see Eddy Izzard’s take on how the American’s tried the metric system in the 70′s!
Yeah, Neil Young – don’t understand his attraction. It’s like Bob Dylan. You hear his voice and go WTF? But then you love his songs.
Unfortunately for you, Canuck, I AMMMM NEIIILLL YOUNG, DRAGON-KING!
FTR, I can do a pretty good Neil Young imitation, guitar and all! Yeah, he sings like crap, but I still love it music. He was much better when he was with Buffalo Springfield (thanks Canada!) and CSNY. Speaking of Neil, a friend and myself were driving through Bakersfield back in, 1976 and we stopped in at a bar to have a beer. While were sitting there, Neil came out with Crazy Horse and played an hour and a half gig. My friend and I were gobsmacked, but loved the show. At the end, when he was getting ready to do an encore, Stephen Stills came out. I honestly thought I had died and gone to heaven (or hell to some I guess..)
Cowboy Junkies and k.d.lang. I’ll forgive you Celine Dion and Nickleback because of that.
Neil Young is Canadian? Okay, Canada, you can live for giving us Neil Young. Lousy guitar player, mildly annoying voice, fantastic music (if not a little preachy).
@Eddie: Getting to hear Neil Young AND Stephen Stills playing in a bar like that = somewhere beyond awesome. I envy you.
@Rando: Rush does not suck, you just fail to properly appreciate the greatness.
You also gave us Bryan Adams and Alanis. You can take that either way, I suppose.
I like old Alanis, new Alanis is meh.
Hasn’t Canada spent the last 20 years apologizing for Bryan Adams?
I seriously can’t appreciate Rush in the slightest. Listening to it makes me wince.
Old American Alanis or Old Canadian Alanis, ’cause before Jagged Little Pill came out she was something of a Paula Abdul in her native land, as I understand.
Jagged Little Pill Alanis, the angry chick music worked for her I think. Paula Abdul scares me.
Paula Abdul scares Paula Abdul, hence the massive amounts of drugs.
Angry Alainis is kind of like angry Sinnead O’Conner. Their music works better for me then. Happy–not so much. And I’m not an angry person, so go figure!
I prefer the Alanis who got green slime dumped on her head on Nickelodeon.
I fvcking hate Rush too, Rando. Fvck Rush!
What’s been heard can’t be unheard. But thankfully for us, it still had the desired effect!
Shatner’s Canadian? Want him back?
And if you can carry a decent tune, singing “Bed of Roses” is a guarantee you’ll hook up. Way back when I used to go to karaoke with friends, one of them could sing that song note for note (even the high ones). Man I hated that guy!

More, Eddie, more! Igor needs teh tipz!
Oh, and if you can do Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls, that one’s a winner too!
Alex, I’ll take music to make Rando cringe for $400.
This non-American group shot to number one in the mid-70′s with a movie sound track that propelled John Travolta to stardom.
Who are the Bee Gees? And well played, Eddie.
And “the dream police, they come to pee in my bed”
The girl with colitis goes by…
So glad I’m not the only one who watched that show.
Hold me closer Tony Danza…
ARGH!!!!!!!! GETITOFFGETITOFFGETITOFFGETITOFFGETITOFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ROFLMAOUIPMP!
Yupper!
Actually I remember seeing that on The Nanny. *hangs head in shame* Yes, I love that show…
My brother thought in “Alive” by Pearl Jam he was singing “Sorry you didn’t see him, but I’m playing guitar.” Uh, that doesn’t make any sense at all, dude.
Is it a rule now that rock songs actually have to make sense? Where does that leave “Inna Godda Davida” then? WHERE??????
There is only way to understand that song, froo. But it requires either near lethal doses of cannabis, or one awesome hit of acid. Otherwise, you just won’t get it.
I can see clearly now, Lorraine has gone……
That actually makes sense.
Well, Lorraine was a big, big girl.
My misheard lyric book came up with an entire misheard song for “Everything Zen” by Bush. Gavin is one of the most incomprehensible singers of all time, up there with Dylan & Jagger & Cobain.
One band I’ve always had problems understanding is REM. Especially “What’s the frequency, Kenneth?”
Cobain has a song dedicated to him by Weird Al…..you ought to see the video. He’s singing “Smells Like Teen Spirit” with marbles in his mouth.
I have that album actually, froo.
It’s hard to bargle novle zous
With all these marbles in my mouth.
I love it when the subtitles disolve into question marks, hehe.
Yankovic WIN!
I can’t listen to Michael Jackson’s ‘Beat It’ without singing the Weird Al words.
Sometimes the conversation
goes terribly wrong
I feel like a deaf person
trying to sing along
making my voice join in
singing all the parts
when suddenly the subtitles
dissolve into question marks.
NOW see what you caused, froo! No more cake for you.
“What’s The Frequency, Kenneth?” was written (I believe) to be hard to understand. Did you ever see the video with REM and Dan Rather doing the song? It’s classic!
I never saw that! I bet that was awesome.
“You said that iron knees were the shackles of you, oh.”
Wait, what?
(You said that irony was the shackles of youth.)
My friend thought that in “Crash” Dave Matthews was singing, “hike up your skirt little boy…and show your world to me.” She was like, “I can’t believe a song about pedophilia is on the RADIO.”
‘Scuse me, while I kiss this guy
or
Look at all the happy preachers dancing on the lawn
“There’s a bathroom on the right!”
What show?
See above reply to HOW
Oh, okay. I occasionally will put up with The Nanny when I’m bored, but I’m not a regular viewer. I actually have a book of misheard song lyrics that I bought several years ago.
Or you can go to the website ‘excuse me while I kiss this guy’, where they have multiple entries for many different songs. Good fun!
There’s a bathroom on the right.
I don’t know either, I thought she was hearing to misheardlyrics.com, or whatever that website is called. I had the calender. Hilarious…*singing: She’s got a chicken to riiiiiide*
That would be “referring” not “hearing”…..oh, boy, I have got to stop drinking at work.
I was referring to mis-heard song lyrics. There’s a website of that stuff??? *runs off to look*
Did you find it? It’s too funny. It’s called kissthisguy.com
Buahahahahaa!! Love it! Put it on my favorites list. Thanks, luv.
My pleasure, HOW…..now if you could just turn a bit to the right, I could get the shot I’m looking for.
I used to have one of the books. There were actually several books of these song lyrics.
“Where you going for tomorrow? Where you going with the master plan?”
That’s one I actually thought was right. LOL
I think they started with Blinded by the Light, but when I went to find the “real” lyrics to that song…..apparently, NO ONE knows what they’re singing, including the singers.
wrapped up like a douche…
Pay for that Chrysler
PAY FOR THAT CHRYSLEERRRRRRRRR….
For years (decades, actually), I thought that the first line of Brown Eyed Girl was “Hey there amigo…”. Apparently I wasn’t actually listening, because I was sitting in a restaurant in London and that song started playing and clear as a bell it was “Hey where did we go…”. What the hell is wrong with me?
It’s not Hey there amigo?????
Have you heard the famous song ‘Ken Lee’?
(clicky)
LOL. The subtitles really helped that one.
Once upon a midnight dreary something something something in my bed…
*headdesk*
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore,
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
“‘Tis some visitor,” I muttered, “tapping at my chamber door —
Only this, and nothing more.”
*knows her Poe, and was making a joke about the Blue’s Traveler song*
ANd the Raven never flitting, still is sitting STILL is sitting
One the pallid bust of Pallas that’s above my chamber door…
The Raven is my favorite Poe ever!
It’s the only bit of Poe-try (hur hur) that I can get into. I hate poetry, but anything that dark and ebil draws me in.
A couple of Christmases ago my sister got me a hardcover unabridged Poe. I didn’t come out of my room for days
I hope that’s what’s waiting for me under the Christmas tree. I’ve been asking for it for years and it seems that “no one can find it” so I’m probably just going to have to break down and buy it for myself.
I got mine when I was nine. Came in a set with Dashiell Hammet, Agatha Christie and O’Henry. Yeah, I didn’t make the set, I just got’em.
‘Annabelle Lee’ is really good, also. You can hear the music in the words on that poem!
Which song is that? I must look this up!
It’s called “RunAround.” Awesome song by an awesome band
My local classic rock station plays this song. Feel old? I do.
Me too. That is a post-college song for me. Grumble, grumble…
Rando, my “old” moment was when I realized that The Princess Bride is 22 years old *sigh*
WTF? How did I miss that? I’ll have to listen to the CD on my way home from work.
I saw them at Summerfest on the Milwaukee lakefront this summer.
They were fantastic live!
Hook is better if only because I feel smug when I can still sing all the really fast words.
I woke with something in my bed, couldn’t escape the monstery phone call that you said.
Monstery phone call? Does Cousin It make those?
I was thinking something more Cthulhu-esk, but I’m sure cousin It could stand in when Cthulhu is out with a cold.
history fail
The Olympic Touch used to represent peace was introduced in the 1936 Berlin Olympics.
It worked like a charm. Literally.
