    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 oo

    And 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.

      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.

      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.

    They used the same song for the 2017 reboot, so that wouldn’t work. (Same lyrics, new recording.)

    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.

      Yeah the IDs should be the same across the EU except for the background motive

          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.

              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?

      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 :)

          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” :)

    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/.
