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.

Just bought the single on itunes! Awesome!

"You're messing with my Zen thing, man."
"Dreams are as portals,
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!
Actually, a lot of the songs that people think are not direct parodies, are what Al calls, "style parodies." A recent example would be "Craig's List" which is an obvious style parody of The Doors. Usually he doesn't credit the style parodies. Sometimes it's easier to tell than others.CujoSR wrote: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.
Minimal research seems to indicate that this is a style parody of a band I had never heard of before called Fountains of Wayne.

From what I've heard, he spends a decent amount of time at DL. I know I just missed him a few times at FNSV, something fellow helmsmen got a kick out of time and time again.

I haven't been to Alfies in a month. :( Good looks will get you only so far. They tend to want 'dead presidents'. :mad:Main Streeter wrote:darph's reply is a direct effect of too many trips to Alfie's &/or too many Buds.
