Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

It's been— two weeks since you hired me
Cocked my head to the side and said, "I'm angry"
Five days since you laughed at me, saying
"Go find a knife, come back and stab me"
Kind of guy who laughs at a funeral. Don't understand what I mean? Well, you soon will.
You've made Bare Naked Ladies a worthwhile part of history. Fucking amazing post.
This might genuinely be the best comment I’ve ever seen on chapo dot chat.
Can you explain it? Is it lyrics or something?
The parody is better than the original, par for this band
Here's the music vid now you have an ear worm.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
The Barenaked Ladies had a song with some of the lyrics of all time such as
"Chickity China the Chinese chicken/ Have a drumstick and your brain starts clickin'"^1
"Like Harrison Ford, I'm getting frantic/ Like Sting, I'm tantric/ Like Snickers, guaranteed to satisfy/ Like Kurosawa, I make mad films, 'kay, I don't make films/ But if I did they'd have a Samurai"^2
^1 a reference to A Tribe Called Quest
^2 a bunch more references
The song has an "Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny" style reference humour thrown at the listener in a rapid fire fashion. References ranging from Japanese cinema to classic hip hop to the Kāmasūtra to DC comics.
One Week by Bare Naked Ladies, notorious bad/meme song
I immediately read that with full vocals and musical background. Nice job!
