“Gonna party like it’s 1699” my absolute favourite
what does it mean?
@@lukiland_ES When this song was made, it was the end of the 2nd Millennium. Some people & groups wanted to "party like its 1999" as it were. Like a new year, but 1000x more intense.
Modern society has recorded only 2 other melinnium ends in its history. So it made sense to party on the third.
"Party like its 1699" is a goofy double joke on that.
I thought it was a sexual reference.
It’s a hit song from Prince. Came out in 1982. It’s called 1999
First I have to finish my chores you'll finish thine.
That last part where everything is filmed in reverse but his lips are perfectly synced with the words. Legendary!
The fact he learned how to sing this backwards
i didnt even notice it was in reverse until i saw this comment
And the smile of success which he had to do before walking backwards singing in reverse.
“But I’ve got a cool hat”
It’s hard to argue with his assessment
I work in retail. Everytime I hear that lyric I raise my hat😂
Part of me wishes people would just start wearing old timey hats in public, can’t wait to go to Walmart and see Uncle Pennybags in a top hat
indeed
That would be epic
He looks good in black ngl
0% sex
0% guns
0% swear words

Exactly what every song needs
Thats so funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I love that Weird Al is respectfully funny about things he sings about. Wholesome stuff.
I'm gonna put it here because i don't have anywhere else to write it. I had a dream yesterday about a trial where Weird Al was playing a serial killer, and he was detailing his crimes as a musical bit
Definite Weird Al monent
Realistic
I had a dream that Weird Al Yankovic was getting an award for his acting as Steve Urkel. He is not the actor of Steve Urkel.
He would totally do that

Prior to any trial, I ALWAYS play “Bodies.” It’s my war cry song, but now, I find myself playing this. Thank you for making me smile before a really tough day!

They pointed out that Menonites can use electronics, but more fundamental sects can't.
Cool
@@SniveReal He said cool Beavis! ahah hah!
Not sure how true it is, but from what I've heard, it's less about electricity and technology itself, and more about not interrupting their way of life? Like using computer to do calculations is perfectly fine since it doesn't change things in any fundamental way (also, apparently they're pretty big on solar power and such, so... )
Amish and Mennonites are actually not the same .... they all belong to the Anabaptists; however, most of the Anabaptist groups would get quite insulted if anyone said that they were branches of each other.
Some different groups are the Old order Amish, New order Amish, Mennonites, German Baptists, Beachy, Beachy Amish(yes there is a difference), Schwartzendruber Amish, Charity(or so they used to be called... they changed their name), and many others.
Mennonites are the ones I am the most familiar with. Everything depends on the location of the church because rules vary by congregation. Rules can be as strict as "Dresses must be hemmed at 9 inches from the floor" (Yes that is a real rule ...... I don't know why), and "Men are not allowed to wear shirts with print of any kind". Some rules make no sense and are only accepted because they were passed down from previous generations.
All Anabaptist groups can tell each other apart by observing the slight differences in the way the women dress. Colors and designs of coverings and dress patterns vary by which group the members belong to. Even the slightest difference in detail would identify someone as a part of a different group.
