YOU DESERVE PUNISHMENT

Just because. As I was scrolling through The Corner at National Review Online, seeking scholarly, erudite enlightenment, those chumbuckets linked to something I had forgotten for years. Something I had hoped to never hear again. The Bastard Offspring of All Brainworms. Mahna Mahna. Share my pain!

UPDATE: Serendipity, Ye are Legend. When my daughter arrived home from work at Walgreen's I played the link for her, to see if it registered. "Velocidad," she said, "we have fuzzy animals with antennae at work that play this song! I get four or five going at once."

"Really?" said I, draining my goblet. Then, unfortunately, I went into Sean Connery mode. "Fetch me one of these creatures, Moneypenny, so that I may take it the next blogmeet. It appears more egregious than a cymbal-banging monkay... I shall insert the Brain Worm in their heads. And then I shall conduct missile drills!"

"Cool, old man. Whatever." Not bad for a song from a 30-year-old Muppets episode, I thought. Still gots traction.

Actually I think it was from the soundtrack of some Brazilian feature film. I used to have the 45.

The song was originally from a Scandinavian soft core porn flick, circa 1968. Then showed up on Ed Sullivan in 1969. The Muppets video was from 1976. I remember. Thought it was a dancing bear at the time.

I suppose I should be thankful that my Great Corporate Salt Mine Laptop does not have Quicktime capability. For a day, at least, I am spared!

Curse you and your evil, leathery hide, V-man! There is a special place in hell reserved for you for posting that.

LOVE that stupid ass song. I've had an mp3 of it for a couple of years. When I'm feeling silly or like annoying my husband, out it comes. Watched that one as an anklebiter. A Classic. I also have a few vidyas of the Swedish Chef making chickie in a baskie and chocolate moose. :D

OH NOOOOO!

Thanks a LOT! I'll be back in a day or two and I'm passing it back to you!

And your little dog too!

More like 20 years, no?

You know, it's scary...when you "went into Sean Connery mode," I actually did a pretty good approximation of V-man doing Connery in my mind.

I'm not sure I'm entirely comfortable being that "in-tune" with Velociworld....

You evil man!!

It took me the better part of twenty years to exorcise that one! Now I'm sure to be unexpectedly breaking out with a "mahna mahna!" at odd moments 'til my dying day.
