The showerhead just showed up in an Amazon ad at the top of the forums. Stupid cookies.

Be warned. It gets stuck in your head.

It's been in my head for about 2 weeks now, ever since I heard version A, B and C.

That was so funny, and random. Sorry John!

So, having listened to Episode 37 earlier today I find myself still humming the “Ballad of the Yeti” and chuckling and smirking knowingly at odd times as various pieces of silliness (in the Monty Python sort of way) come to mind. Guys, this is without a doubt the funniest and most random podcast yet. I declare it an instant “classic”. Personally, I love the way so much of your pathetic lives come across in a loose (this time, very loose) fabric of Disney Stuff.

Great stuff. I particularly enjoyed the Simpsons references – IMHO some of the best Simpsons’ episodes are the Disney related ones. My personal favorite being the Teacher of the Year episode where Mrs. Krabbaple is up for Teacher of the Year and they all go to “FCot” for the awards ceremony. (Plus, being a Portlander, the Simpsons holds a special place since most of the characters are named after streets around here – i.e. Flanders, Lovejoy, Terwilliger.

Confusing Thurl Ravenscroft and Paul Frees is a pretty common thing to do. Those two, plus Gary Owens (World of Motion) were everywhere during the 60s and 70s. Similar voices, and they all did cartoon voiceovers, commercials and narrations of all sorts - particularly in LA.

I’m looking forward to meeting you all in person in October.

As soon as I heard the opening notes of Dirty Old Town, I knew we were in for something special.

Darth Babe:

I just went into iTunes (the program) - Clicked on the INTERCOT Insider Podcast and then clicked REFRESH in the lower right hand corner of the interface and EP 37 came right up.

Don't have my iPhone here so I can't check it there... but it's definitely published.

Thanks! I got it downloaded just in time before having to leave for work, and I got to listen. Another stellar podcast! Thanks for getting me through my work shift.

As for the Yeti song, I vowed I wouldn't make a fool of myself by grinning and laughing out loud with my headphones, but I broke down half way through. That's how I knew the song was a hit, because often a funny song will stop being funny after a few verses, but this got funnier as it went on. Kudos!

Leaving for WDW in about 27 hours!

Wait until next time when I work into the discussion that I went to the Rifftrax Manos: The Hands of Fate event. And it was awesome.

It's going to take me a while to figure out how to connect that to Disney though.

Wait ... did he just call us pathetic?

[Melanie]

Wait ... did he just call us pathetic?

I'm thinking so.

[Ian]

It's fine if we say it, but other people aren't supposed to point it out ya know!

I know! I thought it was our secret.

You know you want them, so here they are ... the lyrics to The Ballad of the Yeti (The Yeti Is Down)!

(spoken)
This here's Captain Tom
I wanna tell you a tale
A tale of a time when a beast roamed free
He's gone now
My friend, the yeti

I met me love at the Animal Kingdom
Ate some lunch at the Flame Tree Grill
Took a ride on the Everest
But the yeti is down
The yeti is down

There was a time when he wove his arms
He terrified everyone around
But now he stands just like a stone
The yeti is down
The yeti is down

(spoken)
This is the part of the song
Where you sit and quietly contemplate
The times that you rode on Everest
And were able to see the animated Yeti
Swinging his arms
Those times are gone now
Long gone
We'll tell our children
About all of the things that never happened
At the Animal Kingdom

We have no fire
From the dragon tower
There is no quest
For the unicorn
There was a beast
Both wild and fierce
But the yeti is down
The yeti is down

I'm going to get
A new Fastpass
I'll wait again
And hope I'll see
An angry beast
Who's abominable
But the yeti is down
The yeti is down

I met me love
At the Animal Kingdom
Ate some lunch
At the Flame Tree Grill
We took a ride on the Everest
But the yeti is down
The yeti is down
The yeti is down

Downloaded my copy today - too freakin' funny!!
Nice job!

[Fangorn]

Wait ... did he just call us pathetic?

Yes. Yes I did. But with tongue firmly planted in cheek and said with the utmost respect. Besides, I'm pretty sure that the fact that I'm avidly listening to y'all makes me even more pathetic. Y'all, at least, are actually producing something - I'm just consuming.

I know! I thought it was our secret.

It hasn't really been a secret since about episode #3.

Great. Now I'll really never be able to get it out of my head.
