I think he's pulling the hair off pretty well, even if it is a pragmatic and not a stylistic choice, and I don't normally have short hair anyway so my perspective is not an inside one.

Jesus gently caress  String beans? They're just immature beans in the pod. (I mean I obviously knew it was a pod but I thought it was a type of bean that just stayed real small.)

Welp. Another song reference I just found out. I've heard Tom Lehrer's Bright College Days for years and years and year, since high school: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dl3mRjydcPw I was just listening to random barbershop quartet stuff on youtube, and heard this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eJ8LrgjJolk ...so, it turns out, Lehrer's song is more or less a direct parody.

Thanks to the current marketing blitz surrounding the 30th anniversary of Metallica's black album, I was reading about "Nothing Else Matters" and I only just now realized what seems to have been obvious to everyone else -- it's really just a straight-up love song. I think my brain always kind of skipped over the word "else" and assumed it was this really dark, depressed sort of thing. And it is a little bit dark, but only in the sense that it's a "can't wait to be back home with my girl" song. Not a "the world is pointless and I want to die" song.

I don't know why this never occurred to me today but I was today years old when I learned that domestic ducks are mallards. Or rather a subspecies of mallard. Today I saw a cute gif of a white duck. I know white ducks are domestic ducks, but finally, looking at that duck I wondered "Wait. There are a lot of species of ducks. Which species is the domestic one?" Never thought about it before today. It's weird.

I thought "Funkytown" was two separate songs for a while. Let me explain: you don't often hear the song in its entirety unless you make a point of seeking it out. You usually hear a snippet from it, either the instrumental bit at the beginning or the chorus containing the title drop. Those two parts don't really sound a whole lot alike, so when I told someone I was looking for the song that goes [vocal recreation of the instrumental part] and was told, oh, that's "Funkytown," I was sure that the other person was mistaken. No, I know how "Funkytown" goes, it's [vocal recreation of the strings and whatnot in the chorus]. I don't remember when I finally heard the song in its entirety - this was way before you could pretty much pull up any song instantly, from anywhere you were - but I was like well I'll be damned, it was all "Funkytown" all along.

No, I know how "Funkytown" goes, it's [vocal recreation of the strings and whatnot in the chorus]. Long time ago, but I had a similar experience with “Layla” by Derek and the Dominos for a long time. The piano section is so out of place and contrasting with the beginning of the song that when I was younger I’d just think they always played these two same songs back to back all the time.
