Yeah, he and Prince do have similar aesthetics.

Prince made that one Batman track that was so boring that it gives people a glimpse of hell. Little Richard didn't.

Yeah, I saw him at Berklee a few years before he had his big hit. I got to go up on stage and sing backup for him in a group. It was a very fun show.

Imagine being this amazing acapella virtuoso but not only is the one (1) song people associate you with a novelty song you threw together 30+ years ago but most of them don't even realize it's acapella.




That being said I imagine that Don't Worry Be Happy was big enough that Bobby McFerrin has never had to worry about money since and never will. Which is probably nice.

Based on the video, he seems pretty well-adjusted for a jazz weirdo. He doesn't seem to loathe the success or crave it. He just went on his merry way doing more of the weird jazz and classical stuff. Well, maybe a few commercials on the side.

Much like it wasn't until now that I ever realized Don't Worry Be Happy is acapella, I also never considered that vampire fangs weren't just sharp straws. This thread is really living up to its ambition. Unlike the Post Funny Pictures thread, which is very disappointing.

I remember Mrs. Doubtfire had a scene where a kid said something like, "I saw her peeing; she has nards." I was in a room full of girls and I was awkward and shy and like 10, and got embarrassed or something. My mother and her stupid loving friends would call me "nards" for years after that.

Somehow I never realized until now that the weird terminals on 9V batteries are set up so they can interlock with each other. So you can set up a two battery short circuit, or directly plug a thousand of them in series with each other and wire them into something to see what happens.
I'm not sure what to do with this info, but there it is :byoscience:

That did always strike me as a bad design. Give a kid (me) two 9V batteries and it's a matter of seconds before baby's first short circuit.

theres a pretty intense scene in Kramer vs. Kramer that starts out with Hoffman & Streep accusing each other of not having nards, but it ends with them acknowledging each others nards. The kid has left the room at this point. It wild seeing that in cinemas though

The specific term "nards" doesn't seem to be in Mrs. Doubtfire. This is the relevant exchange, after the discovery:
-Lydia (threatening Mrs. D with a tennis racket): You're gonna get it.
-Chris: ...In the balls!
-Lydia: She's got 'em?
-Chris: She's got everything.

I wonder if "nards" was in a TV edit, though. You couldn't say "balls" on TV in the 90s, right?

MOM is surely nearby.
'nards' has this almost uncanny status as a word that was used once, in situ, and no other utterance of it since has been genuine, but is instead a reference to that first cultural utterance

I don't even think it can be called a meme, it's like an ur-referent

If I was 15 years younger and remembered my Barthes and McLuhan better, there's probably better terminology for it, but nards has some real-rear end impact for a dumb nickname for balls

I believe I may have the answer to your confusion. The Scottish call them "nads" which is what Mrs Doubtfire was, It could have been in the cinema version and changed by people who knew what it meant for VHS, or Williams may have said it in character while doing the talk shows.
