It all started when I told him to slow down while driving because the speed limit was 55 and he started saying “Schfifty-Five” a lot while calling me a little girl and saying that his IQ was also Schfifty-Five. Suddenly he’s giggling like a small child and I have no idea what’s so funny.

    To this day, hearing the words “badger”, “mushroom”, and “snake” will often be enough for me to get that song stuck in my head.

      Same, and also “narwhal”.

      There’s a part of me that’s ashamed that I remember the entire thing. Then I remind myself that I also remember all the words to “Oh No You Didn’t”, and I just climb into the shamehole of my own volition.

      Edit: To add the link, someone else will suffer with me.

          If I remember right, it was a kinda a quiet thing? I think some of the Mercenaries 2 promotional stuff had links to download the song, but I don’t remember any real fanfare over it.

          Which is kinda sad, because it’s surprisingly catchy in its own goofy fashion.

        Is it because it is good to us?

          Because it’s close to us!

          The good to us was from the Quiznos commercial

          I mean, in hindsight they were. He sent a cow forward in time to witness Lemmy, then brought him back to report what he saw.
