“B-I-N-G-O” and “What shall we do with a drunken sailor” also fit well if you linger on the O at the end

Yeah, so you draw out the letters instead of powering through the same line with the words. You can get them pretty close in terms of timing with the music.

That’s not what a cadence is. ‘If you draw the letters out to fit the time of the second song it can last as long’ is just a thing you made up, like just go listen to the two songs they’re both on YouTube.

A version of the matching meters thing that actually works out is Emily Dickenson poems and The Yellow Rose of Texas.

According my limited (but still somehow too much) research, The Prophecy was first released on DVD in Canada in 2003. Maybe your computer is Canadian?

Rhino, you did this to me!

It's been many years since I really listened to Weird Al songs. I was listening to One More Minute
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWhpk-8QLFQ

and I realized it had a masturbation joke in it

quote:

I guess I might seem kinda bitter
You got me feelin' down in the dumps
'Cause I'm stranded all alone in the gas station of love
And I have to use the self service pumps

I did not expect that. Not so much a just figured out (I honestly don't remember this joke/line at all)

A really minor one, but I've somehow had the physical appearances of the video game designers Sid Meier and Will Wright reversed in my head for most of my life. Will Wright just really looks like a Sid, I guess.

I've just recently discovered the band Racer X, who are very, VERY much my jam. Besides the fact that that I can't believe I've just figured out that a a band that started one year before I was born is absolutely and completely my kind of music, I thought that "bolt in my heart" was probably a love song, something about his heart being pierced by a crossbow bolt (maybe shot by Cupid?)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gPG0w0tEcik

No, the song's just about cars. It would be the kind of bolt that holds pieces of metal together.

Oh man. We had Street Lethal on cassette when I was younger. I had completely forgotten about them, but reading the name now brought back the memories. Gotta listen to them and see if I still like it now.
