Thank you for the encouragement. I’ve actually recorded this now with me singing the words. I’ll drop it once I cut a little music video to it.

Awesomeness! I want a transcript of this! 😂 Now I am inspired to create a traveling comedy show (puppet or otherwise) that brings these absurdities to light. Who wants to help me?!? 🤣

I’ve been actually talking to some theatre folks about putting some writings together and seeing where that takes us. Especially because it was theatre people that turned into the biggest hall monitors during the scamdemic.

They sure did! I have/had many theatre friends and was gobsmacked at the mindless compliance and lack of critical thinking on display throughout the Wake-Up Call Event. The Guardian really has them by the cognitive short and curlies! 🤦🏼‍♂️

They did give you Coley's to self-treat at home, didn't they? Suddenly I am nervously wondering...

Oh awesome. Now I can rest easy and await your description of the whole regimen you are on. So exciting! I felt very alone when doing mine, way back when...

I would love to but I don't know your email address. And when I clicked on "message me" it just gave me some error message... argh.

Pretty much sums it up in a tongue in cheek sort of way. PS Are there really normies left? I would have thought they were becoming an endangered species. One can only hope.

That video was amazing - utterly amazing.

4 years ago I would have probably still thought 50ish percent was crazy loon talk. Now I understand all of it and I also have a massive smile on my face - thank you

Yeah, four years ago, I wouldn’t have paid much attention either. Now, everything is under a microscope. Glad you enjoyed it!

woo hoo welcome back! hope yer feelin' fine--clearly yer in good spirits here since yer funny bone came back in tickled! So not only did I abso-loot-ly getta kick outta this (an' all yer hilarious jibber jab that as INSANE as it sounds is TOTALLY SANE as far as crackpots like myself go...)

But.... hearin' that SONG THAT SONG THAT SONG!!!! So somehow I'd missed in the ether-spere so I went on a looong BENDER stumblin' down the long corri-doors of Yandex (!) ta find more n' more examples of this wild n' wooly Finnish Earwig tune / Ievan Polkka! --an' I came up with "the hair of the dog that bit me!!!!" with some more moo-seagull gems too!

Now, I'll agree that Quorum is the finest of 'em all (plus theyze "Litvaks like me-2!"--I had ta wartch some'a their other viddeyos--loved their Klezmer Beatles!), but see now if ya don't ALSO like these covers as well --

1. (my fave:) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PX5OARoNFpg (the BAGPIPES! The hat guy!)--I'm rockin' outta my chair!

2. this'un charmed me--a lovely gal who creates her own digital "twin" (jokin') -- it's a mite less goofy than the others but still purdy peppy--I liked it!

Thanks fer this little chunk'o fun an' absurd-ditty!

Ooooo, I had not seen the Russian bagpipe one. Great find. The twins one is a classic. So good. Here’s one of my favourite versions: https://youtu.be/qz_uq7ypZnc?si=EpqxWZIzXVKkLRC9

yup yup, love the ladies! an' this one gal that did the song back in '96 is still doin' it an' teachin' it (there's a slow version she made with the lyrics)--not sure if I kin master the Finnish but the dances are purdy fun too (likely ya saw). Finally sumthin' good in 2024 that's infectious! (not even trans....fectious!)

I learned the first verse from that lady. I can play it on a uke. Yeah, pretty fun song. My kids love it because of TikTok. Pretty contagious.

Daisy Moses Chief Crackpot's avatar

yup, "catchy" in all ways! So nifty you an' yer kiddos all 'r diggin' it--oh, an' I LOVE the uke! Cliff Edwards (Ukelele Ike!) is one'a my moo-sicle heros! (An' if them innertubes go out on us like they're sayin' they'll do, I'll be uke'in away--needin' the practice--fer sure I'll be includin' this gem of an earworm in my ripper'toire!

Much appreciated the tip, Kathryn! 🥰 I haven’t even added it to any of my other platforms… I’ve had a few warnings they’ll deactivate my account. But maybe it’s time to face the music.
