For those who work the Jungle cruise ~ you will surely get a kick out of it!
Weird Al's Jungle cruise ride song for skippers!
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.
Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

Nice. What is it a parody of? It seems so familiar, probably a style parody, but I can't place it.

Totally awesome song and video. Much love to our skippers out there.
BTW I believe that this is one of his original songs and not a direct parody. Al does a lot of those.

flat visions of misty places,
fragments bound below my surface,
but I can write dreams,
they flow from me,
inscribed but now unbound,
I touch them,
and they are real,
and they are real."

Re: Weird Al's Jungle cruise ride song for skippers!
You gotta admit that if he isn't one of us (Disney geeks) he sure does pay attention to details. The "backside of water" one really cracked me up as being totally classic.
Good ole Weird Al!

That was awesome. Weird Al really does pay attention to detail.

"Yes, sir, but the water is fake."

I am sure Weird Al has ridden the Jungle Cruise more than once!

Re: Weird Al's Jungle cruise ride song for skippers!
Yep, paying attention to detail is part of Al's job description. Send the dude a note of thanks through his MySpace page or website. I hope he offers a video DVD of his new videos when his next album comes out next year. (Hey, gotta remember, he's a husband and father; he has to spend time with them too, you know! How did his wife Suzanne get so lucky as to have Weird Al as a hubby?)

That was pretty funny, if kind of depressing. Me, I'd consider that position a high point in my career!
