Please explain. There must be some reference that I do not get.

Here, danf.

That made me laugh, too.

I had funny laugh-impulse delay on that: I read it, processed it, thought "Huh, that IS funny," then a few seconds later I started snorfling out loud. I think it took that long for my brain to hear it.

Hey, does everyone/anyone else get odd inner-ear sensation from watching this?
posted by Elsa 09 November | 12:36
I'm going to be laughing about this all day - and I really needed it. Thanks a bunch!

Esla, not me. But there was an AskMe about that very gif the other day...

Found it.

That gif bothers me in another way, being a half-mile down the road from similar towers with the main transmission lines from Diablo Canyon - as if that place wasn't scary enough.

But when I first saw the original posted pic, my mind raced to come up with other equally funny lyric substitutions. What do you think of these:

"Here we are now, entertain us..."

"That's me in the corner..."

"Walk this way, Talk this way..."

"Love, love will tear us apart again..."

"We don't need no education..."

Or did I miss a specific connection Ace of Spades has to a Sound of Music song? Let me know if you'd like one of these or make another suggestion and I'll 'photoslop' it and post it here.

I "hear" the gif that Elsa is asking about. What an odd sensation.

HA HA HA HA HA!

I also don't get it. Ace of Spades doesn't sound anything like Do Re Mi, does it?

I'm either tone deaf, or more familiar than any reasonable person would be expected to be that a still from SOM sends me straight to that movie number?

Halp?

Wait! I get it! Same # of silables. (sp).

So yeah, onefellswoop, yours don't work, but the original does.
