I realized some people might not get the reference. Yeah! I know, right? Sometimes it seems odd to me that some people have never heard something or never seen something I consider to be an integral thread in the fabric of popular culture. Like the Mario Brothers. Or The Proclaimers. Even if most people only know them by that one song.
As with this very blog you're reading, the second blog is only partly for the sake of readers. I really want to make a personal chronicle of things that have left their mark on my own perception of pop culture's tapestry, too. Everyone else can come along for the ride. (^_^)-b
Incidentally, I believe many of the new generation will have had their first exposure to this song through (what else?) television. Specifically one gag from an episode of Family Guy and one episode from How I Met Your Mother. A round of applause for the writing teams for these two shows please. Someones in there know what is up. (^_^)-b*twinkle
Seriously, who wouldn't know the Proclaimers? Luck on the good blog.
ReplyDeleteThank you. You surprised me, I expected Mark to be here first, as usual.
DeleteI really don't know who wouldn't know The Proclaimers. I was out today so I couldn't be the first here. That was also a brilliant response. I really hope the thing wasn't set up, but it doesn't really take the magic away if it is.
ReplyDeleteWell, it doesn't lack for magic. There's a wizard there, see? kekeke
DeleteGo for it. That's an idea that'd definitely get views.
ReplyDeleteHaha, hokai, but as always, I'm not in it for that. (^_^;;)7
Deletehaha yea that's a pretty good reference
ReplyDeleteMade me laugh for the day.
DeleteThere's a pretty amusing beer commercial they recently had up here in Canada featuring that song, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4eWjrR2FTA
ReplyDelete(T______T) Such love for both beer and country!
DeleteYou know, it's saddening but I can't imagine that a beer commercial in the States could pull off a "patriotic" angle. Few would "fall" for that.
I only know them by that one song :)
ReplyDeleteHo ho, that's not surprising. They have more, you know.
Deletei dun get it...
ReplyDeleteDon't worry about it. (O__O)
DeleteI've heard the song, although I did, sadly, not know of the band behind it. :( The reference-loving little creature inside me curls up in shame.
ReplyDeleteAs it should. AS IT SHOULD. (\_/) You'll have a place at the new blog. (I haven't thought up a name for it, yet...)
DeleteIs it weird that I heard them singing while I read the lyrics? XD
ReplyDeleteNow the song is stuck in my head. >.<; Badada!
There are worse songs to get stuck in the head.
