It's not a Mandela effect issue at all. The version that aired in the show says "lurks behind you," while the full version with both verses says "watch behind you." I know. I've edited the DuckTales Wikia page, and had to listen to both to get the lyrics right.
When everyone started making videos after the reboot series was announced, I was surprised to hear "Watch behind you" when the song was included in those videos. I always heard "Danger lurks behind you," and I'm pretty sure the word "lurks" wasn't part of my vocabulary when the show started (I was about 5 years old). I just watched an upload from 10 years ago of the original opening. I can hear "watch" if I listen for it, but it still sounds very much like "lurks" to me. The TH-cam automatic closed captioning incorrectly transcribed it as "which behind you," so even the AI can clearly make out the lyric.
It totally qualifies as a Mandela Effect - exactly because of that. Most, if not all, so called "Mandela Effects" can easily explained through something like that. One another great musical example would be Queen's "We Are the Champions". The studio version just fades out, no famous and powerful "of the world" at the end, like most people remember it to be. But in all live versions Freddie added exactly that line, which ended also the other two choruses in the song in the studio version. Our brains simply tell us that the song ends with this one line, because we have already heard it ending with that line and we also know that the chorus ends with that line and the chorus repeats itself a third time at the end of the song. It's nothing but a trick of the brain, a false memory so to say. And like I said, most Mandela Effects can be explained exactly like that.
I don't agree with that definition. The Mandela Effect is when a lot of people remember something that never happened. It's not the same as when you remember something that did happen, but misremember the context. The original Mandela Effect is about Nelson Mandela, who people think died, despite the fact that he was then still alive. It wasn't people remembering his death happening earlier than it did. People's brains just misfire in a predictable pattern. Another big example is the Berenstain Bears. People misremember the word as being spelled Berenstein. But it was never spelled that way. This one I actually know what happened: people remember how to spell words by comparing thenm with other similar words. People didn't actually remember how to spell Berenstain, since it's a word they hadn't seen since childhood. So they remember all the other words that end in -stein, and so misspell Berenstein. I agree there could be a confabulation here. People could be listening to the whole song and just assume the lyrics are the same as the cut version. But that doesn't rise to the level I associate with the Mandela effect. I likewise would not count the Queen thing as the Mandela effect. People just assume the live version matches the earlier version. That's too simple. The Mandela effect describes things that, to quote the person who coined it, "These aren’t simple errors in memory." It's the fact that the explanation is so complex that leads people to (incorrectly) ascribe some sort of supernatural explanation to the phenomenon. Of course, your mileage clearly varies.
The irony of that "sword-wielding barbarian characters" comment is so profound. Pants were developed by the Germanic tribes and were shunned by the Roman Empire precisely because they were barbarian.
6:25 Oh my god! Jane Anderson, whoever you are, thank you so much, as soon as you said that I realized that Ben 10 is literally one of my favorite cartoon intros ever. Looked it up and gave a listen... pure childhood. It's just so funky and awesome!
When you were talking about the visuals to the Ducktales, I fully agree. I love songs when used well in a movie, game, or show as seeing where/how it is used really adds to it for me.
About the lurk/watch debate: the first time I heard it I actually thought it was "right" as in "D-d-d-danger *right* behind you"! I'm Italian, so the lyrics I was used to translate more or like to "Watch out! There is someone behind you who's spying you!" and I think that both the imagery and the fact that in Italian they used "alle spalle" to say "behind" (it actually means "right behind your back", "over your shoulder") made me think about "right behind you" as a possible lyric. Btw, awesome work! I hope you'll make more video about the Ducktales reboot, I have a lot of contrasting feelings about it and I would love to hear your opinion!
I'm from Finland but I grew up watching Ducktales before the channel which aired it began to systematically dub all their cartoons. So I grew up listening to the Ducktales theme in English as well as the show itself. I didn't speak a word of the language yet but I got so used to the voices that when they suddenly began speaking in Finnish in the mid-90s, I didn't initially like the voice-acting (even though looking back, there wasn't anything wrong with it). Either way, I prefer the original Ducktales theme.
I will say after going back and listening to it, it seems to clearly say "lurks" in the new and old version, although the older version is more garbled.
*Scott, good news!* Sjepan Sejic ( _Witchblade, Darkness, Ravine, Death Vigil,_ etc) has actually already drawn Batman in shorts and a tank top along with his cape and cowl. It's on his DeviantArt page, under the username Nebezial.
We love the way the new intro involves Scrooge chasing one dropped dime across every “panel.” He loses it in the first panel, almost catches it several times, and then finally catches up to it in the “logo” shot. Watch carefully, the entire intro follows that one silver dime.
The X-Men Theme Song is something very near and dear to me. It was composed by Ron Wasserman and Shuki Levy. They are the same team who has composed the intros and music for shows like Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, Spiderman, Digimon Digital Monsters, and many, many more. Chances are if there is a T.V. theme song that you guys like from the 90's and today, they worked on it.
I missed you saying it was Sparta, your cat, so I thought you were talking about Dylan when you said "he's adorable, you should watch the video just for him". Because Dylan is adorable.
Okay Game of Thrones isn't really pop like but nobody can tell me he/she ever skipped it when watching an episode. It just make you feel like being in Westeros and sets the perfect mood for the episode
Discovered the channel a few weeks back. There's been a lot of talk about Mopee while I've been going through past videos so what about a video on the DC imps (Myx, Bat-Mite, Yz, Qusp, etc.)?
*COUPLE OF THINGS* 1) Let me know if you like these longer form Tales videos. I like having more time to answer comments, but I know some of you don't have time to watch me goof around for nearly 25 minutes. 2) Links to the videos we talked about are in the description! Here's a playlist so you can recap! th-cam.com/video/2lQVG7Gf7I4/w-d-xo.html 3) Thanks again to the RKVC boys! Make sure you go check out their channel for awesome music! 👉 th-cam.com/users/rkvcviews 4) Happy belated birthday, LaNeysha!
NerdSync I like the longer Tales from the Comments. Especially now when youtube allows you to pick up where you left off in case I don't have time to watch it all in one go for some reason.
Idea for a new video: Why Superman was the first "moonwalker" before it was a thing? lol Complete with "clickbaity" title and no apologizes. lol ya know the whole his body is more dense and leap over a tall building in a single bound. Compare that to how astronaunts "walked" on the moon. Thanks. P.S. how density shift is a major/minor part of Martian Manhunter's power of flight/levitation, etc. Thanks, again.
The theme song is on youtube. You can go listen to it right now.. it definitely ends with a S or CH sound.. It doesn't sound like watch..it's lurks or looks behind you.. I think the other poster about 2 contradicting versions of the song causes some of this confusion.
I seem to remember it as lurks. It matches the image of the mummy sneaking up behind them, too. Also, good to see another Indiana guy! Though I have also moved away for my career.
Vocal Jazz nerd here with my two cents on the "woo hoo" issue. In the original theme song, I think the first part of the singer's iconic "uh-woo hoo" is what we call a "ghost," a barely-there half syllable used as ornamentation in jazz, rock, and pop singing. Other prominent examples can be found across Michael Jackson's work (he uses it heavily "Billie Jean" for example).
I know I'm late to this party, but just wanna say Darkwing Duck theme is objectively better than Duck Tales. ;) Also, way to reference my entire childhood in a list of theme songs. Tail Spin? Oh yeah!
'TH-cam broke on me and started producing funny sounds. At first I thought Scott was trolling us. I sat here watching a broken video for a good minute before I realised.
Hey happy birthday for that Laneysha gal. My birthday gift to her is putting her in my comicbook. But did you forget to add something to your video title? Look short.
NerdSync I don't know. Didnt feel as big as other videos. But thats probably just me haha. Rkvs was cool though. They rock! Get it? Since they're a band. Eeeeeeeeeeey
It sounds like LOOK behind you but I remember Lurks...watch sounds weird. And your video on breaking down the duck tales theme was so good that it hit me to sub to your channel lol
I always remembered the lyric as "lurks behind you," but listening to it again it's definitely "watch" clear as day. It was also "watch" when the cast of the reboot performed the song as a promo/cast announcement. But interestingly, the reboot theme as sung by Felicia Barton definitely uses "lurks." The world may never know the truth...
Also, have you ever done a video about the influence of the Uncle $crooge and Donald Duck comics? Like the (infamous?) influence on the Indiana Jones boulder roll, or other ways it's trickled down through pop culture. It could be a cool way of looking at comic series that get dismissed as "not as serious" as something like DC or Marvel, just because it's put out by Disney.
Surprised no one commented on the absolute best "multiple costume still recognizable hero", iron Man I mean, has he ever had a suit that didn't make you go like "look ma! It's iron man!" The pinnacle of an artistically versatile superhero suit is when the "super" comes from the suit and the suit comes from the "hero"
Redchocobo his war machine before it was officially called war machine suit threw me off as a kid because I wasn't familiar with his original grey color scheme. His "superior iron man" suit doesn't look very iron man to me either (but that's it's point I think)
you know i don't understand how dylan aka auram has time to do so many things for your channel while also maintaining his channel and helping out other channels while also reading all of the comic books
I just don't agree that the pants costumes look like Wonder Woman. Yes, that newer pants costume is better than the old one. And, yes, it has Wonder Woman iconography on it. But she still looks like a different character. To me, not having pants is just part of her costume, and a big change. The only examples I've seen where she look right involve keeping the rest of her outfit entirely like classic WW. They also ten to keep the onsie shape. But, honestly, I find the rustic warrior look (ala the movie) to look the best, and I have not seen a version of that that works with pants. I also note that I do not see her with pants at all if I just Google "wonder woman." The first example is 100s of images down, and is the cover of a comic.
Some lyrics in the Duck Tales theme have been posted two ways. Even in the Ducktales video, "D-DD- Danger watch behind you." "D-DD- Danger lurks behind you." If you look up the theme from multiple online sources they list both. I would say whatever Disney released are the official lyrics.
It's both! The older DuckTales theme used "lurk" and the new used "watch." (or vice versa I actually forget right offhand) It really depends on what you want to sing. The REAL debate is, is it "bold deduction" or "good deduction" in the second verse of the extended version.
Why are pants and a battle skirt mutually exclusive? Armored skirts aren't _that_ tight, and while I've never personally worn a skirt into battle, I'd imagine a pair of pants underneath would be helpful whenever the temperature dropped low enough or my shin banged into something.
As a side note for R: Why is designing Wonder Woman's costume to appeal more to prudish types bad, but keeping a costume designed to appeal more to lewd types completely unquestioned? (It's not like Wonder Woman can choose her own outfit, what with being fictional.)
Timothy McLean it's the same reason Tim Drake doesn't wear a mask; those two superheroes make an identity of themselves by going against what makes logical sense in our real world considering the fact that our Earth is Earth 13; the climate in their Earths could be warmer or hotter then it is on our Earth...
We need more Ducktales videos about the comics themselves, especially the whole deal with the two different family trees and two different possible canons from both Carl Barks and Don Rosa. Which canon is the true canon and which artist is the new series taking cues from, Barks or Rosa or maybe both.
That would be really awesome actually. From what I've read of both, I'm getting heavier Rosa vibes, especially with the heavy emphasis on family, and the slightly more naturalistic and realistic approach to storytelling, and the fact that "Life and Times" is required reading for the crew, but I would love to here someone break it down and actually pull it apart a bit.
2:52 I wonder if that's why people have been going for simpler Lost-like openings (even mashing them with the title cards-- see: Stranger Things). Making it part of the theatrics and setting the mood, rather than being like a mascot you can play with on your own later when you're not actively interacting with the medium. Like, in the former, you're passively experiencing the opening sequence/theme these days, rather than the latter which can act as a stand-alone toy to keep you company and act as a brand ambassador (see: that girl that sings Duck Tales without having seen an episode). I think the former is getting more and more use as time goes by because, for starters, it's better for binge-watching without commercials, whereas the latter hypes you up so you can still be buzzing with anticipation while you sit through the post-opening ads. Another reason could be that it's different, fresh, new, and helps differentiate it from slightly dated materials from, say, the 90's, 80's, and so on, back when longer openings could be leveraged as filler and seem different, fresh, and new in its own right to differentiate from shorter opening sequences like, say I Love Lucy and other shows at the dawn of TV when the credits were short enough to play in the opening. Man, it's all so cool to see how it's evolved over the decades, I wonder what we'll see in 10 or 20 years from now.
OK, so the perspective is really throwing me off here. Are RKVC just physically larger? Scott looks small, which feels like he should be farther away, but his elbows are in front of the guys' elbows so he must be in front... I'm getting motion sick trying to figure this out!
The new version clearly says lurks, but with the 1987 version no matter how many I hear it, even repeating that one single line over and over I always hear a "ch" at the end of it so I can only say it is watch behinds you
I always thought it was 'd-d-d-danger! whats behind you?' Other times I thought it was 'd-d-d-danger! all around you' It's simply recalling memories differently is all
Wait a minute... those two guys know the people who wrote the song for Gummy Bears, and a bunch of other songs? Well obviously now you have to do videos on all those and ask those people to come in and do an interview or two over the different songs they have done. Maybe put them in their respective videos (ie part of the interview for Gummy Bears video, and other parts for the other videos).
It's not a Mandela effect issue at all. The version that aired in the show says "lurks behind you," while the full version with both verses says "watch behind you."

Amen to that. The Mandela effect is used to liberally these days. just because you misremember something, doesn't make it something more than that
Huh. I could swear Scrooge McDuck died in prison.
No, he got out and became Prime Minister of Calisota.
Heeeeeeeey, not mod!
Didn't He have suspenders?
My fav episode was when he found a magic lamp and wished for more money (genie voice by Sinbad).
I, for one, am always down for a longer video. Keep 'em coming, Scott!
Batman wearing shorts when it's hot out?
*Cue Adam West surfing*
Granted, he has his bat-pants on underneath the swim shorts, but close enough.
IOUT Don't forget the shark-repellent bay spray. Never go to the beach without it.
I loved this ducktales-collab! You guys seemed to be having a hillarious time. :)
The irony of that "sword-wielding barbarian characters" comment is so profound. Pants were developed by the Germanic tribes and were shunned by the Roman Empire precisely because they were barbarian.
Greg Peck man society has changed a lot
Eldred? Is that you? You look good for a dead guy. ;-)
Well pants were a bad invention. Kilts are physically better for men to wear :D
Spiderman always has some kind of spider emblem on his chest as well. It varies in shape and size, but it's always there.
Except ultimate Spider-Man peter parkers first costume
Also, Scott is the man. One of my favorite hosts ever. I'm always worried when there is a lapse in videos. You are the man.
I'd be down for a whole "Analyzing Cartoon theme songs" series XD
6:25 Oh my god! Jane Anderson, whoever you are, thank you so much, as soon as you said that I realized that Ben 10 is literally one of my favorite cartoon intros ever. Looked it up and gave a listen... pure childhood. It's just so funky and awesome!
That opening scared me. For a second I thought you had turned into a weird hairy-backed Quasimodo thing, then I saw the cat head.
OMG! I'm so happy to win the Nerdsync No Prize for my very first comment on a Nerdsync video... I feel humbled
megadork18 🥇
You guys are so grounded in your critics and opinions about music
You deserve a new sub
That moment when you realize the comments video is longer than the two videos it references combined.
When you were talking about the visuals to the Ducktales, I fully agree. I love songs when used well in a movie, game, or show as seeing where/how it is used really adds to it for me.
From the title I thought this would be about how none of the scenes in the DuckTales intro were featured in the show.
I always thought it was “look behind you!”
We'll never know for sure!!!
bswtsp21 Same! That’s what I remember
Nvm. Just heard it again, and I’m almost 100% sure he says watch.
“Watch” is in the extended version, not the broadcast version.
me too
About the lurk/watch debate: the first time I heard it I actually thought it was "right" as in "D-d-d-danger *right* behind you"!

Torilla tavataan
Is it weird that I remember it as “d-d-d-danger ‘LOOK’ behind you” almost like a command?
Multiple sources give conflicting answers online.
Bryce!!! We miss you from podcast
yes
I miss being on the podcast! and editing it... and chatting with everyone... and not being busy with college and life :'(
I will say after going back and listening to it, it seems to clearly say "lurks" in the new and old version, although the older version is more garbled.
Happy Birthday!!!! May you have many more to come.
When you turn the sound off this makes more sense and is quite amusing with colorful scans.
Happy Birthday, LaNeysha! 🎉😃
OMG!!! I can't believe my comment was chosen!
*Scott, good news!* Sjepan Sejic ( _Witchblade, Darkness, Ravine, Death Vigil,_ etc) has actually already drawn Batman in shorts and a tank top along with his cape and cowl. It's on his DeviantArt page, under the username Nebezial.
"believe it or not" the theme song from The Greatest American Hero theme song.
one this about the duck tales song is that it is a close sound to Hall & Oats - you make my dreams come true
We love the way the new intro involves Scrooge chasing one dropped dime across every “panel.” He loses it in the first panel, almost catches it several times, and then finally catches up to it in the “logo” shot. Watch carefully, the entire intro follows that one silver dime.
I think that in the original theme it was watch behind you, but in the new one it was defiantly lurks behind you

I can never get rid of an ear worm. When I try do replace it I just get more, but the old one stays as well.

X men dark pheonix is happening at some point
NerdSync...cool....Its also my bday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The video led me to check out Comic Drake's channel and now I follow it. Thus is the power of guest hosts.
Lol. Great video. But I am giving a thumbs up for the brief appearance of Sparta the Cat!!! :)
I know I'm late to this party, but just wanna say Darkwing Duck theme is objectively better than Duck Tales. ;) Also, way to reference my entire childhood in a list of theme songs. Tail Spin? Oh yeah!
Happy birthday Laneysha!
You should make a tales from the comments video with a comment from the last tales of the comments video, some of them are really good
'TH-cam broke on me and started producing funny sounds. At first I thought Scott was trolling us. I sat here watching a broken video for a good minute before I realised.
Hey happy birthday for that Laneysha gal. My birthday gift to her is putting her in my comicbook. But did you forget to add something to your video title? Look short.
I don't know what else I would add. This pretty much says it all.
NerdSync I don't know. Didnt feel as big as other videos. But thats probably just me haha. Rkvs was cool though. They rock! Get it? Since they're a band. Eeeeeeeeeeey
FakeNerdScout omg no
No
No
Nooooooooo
Matheus Pereira What
FakeNerdScout Why do they rock, man? They ain't Flintstones

you know i don't understand how dylan aka auram has time to do so many things for your channel while also maintaining his channel and helping out other channels while also reading all of the comic books

Aww man! I thought my comment was in the video, because I asked if it was Lurks behind you or watch behind you
Happy Birthday L-... don’t trust myself not to mess up your name soooo Happy Birthday!
Some lyrics in the Duck Tales theme have been posted two ways. Even in the Ducktales video, "D-DD- Danger watch behind you." "D-DD- Danger lurks behind you." If you look up the theme from multiple online sources they list both. I would say whatever Disney released are the official lyrics.
I never skip the Sopranos intro. I love the theme song.
Do a video of why the classic "Unsolved Mysteries" theme is so terrifying
Happy birthday :D
It's both! The older DuckTales theme used "lurk" and the new used "watch." (or vice versa I actually forget right offhand) It really depends on what you want to sing. The REAL debate is, is it "bold deduction" or "good deduction" in the second verse of the extended version.
TripKangaroo the new version uses lurks
Happy birthday!
Artists and writers may not exist solely to serve the fans, but they still gotta listen to an extent.
Happy birthday! :D
Happy birthday! Also did anyone else love the Bucky O'Hare theme song as much as I did?
I love the Batman Beyond theme, one I never skip over.
It's pronounced like "Rogue," "Vogue," or "Donal Logue." But no worries, people have just as hard a time trying to spell it. Thanks for the shout out!
huh i listened to both versions the new one says "lurks behind you" and the old one sounds like watch "behind you"
Happy beerday Laneysha !
Why are pants and a battle skirt mutually exclusive? Armored skirts aren't _that_ tight, and while I've never personally worn a skirt into battle, I'd imagine a pair of pants underneath would be helpful whenever the temperature dropped low enough or my shin banged into something.
As a side note for R: Why is designing Wonder Woman's costume to appeal more to prudish types bad, but keeping a costume designed to appeal more to lewd types completely unquestioned? (It's not like Wonder Woman can choose her own outfit, what with being fictional.)
Timothy McLean it's the same reason Tim Drake doesn't wear a mask; those two superheroes make an identity of themselves by going against what makes logical sense in our real world considering the fact that our Earth is Earth 13; the climate in their Earths could be warmer or hotter then it is on our Earth...
In the original I think it's watch behind you and in the remake it's most definitely lurks behind you.
And now the Spectacular Spider-Man theme is stuck in my head.
Happy Birthday ! 🎈🎁🎂
9:11 Crap, I always heard "D-D-D-Danger! Look behind you!"
Came for Ducktales, stayed for the shoulder kitkit
It was "...lurks behind you..."
Closed captions show that to be the case for the current theme, as well
Some have explained the discrepancy below
OMG That Japanese version on the X-Men theme is amazing. So much more exciting that the American version.
We need more Ducktales videos about the comics themselves, especially the whole deal with the two different family trees and two different possible canons from both Carl Barks and Don Rosa. Which canon is the true canon and which artist is the new series taking cues from, Barks or Rosa or maybe both.
That would be really awesome actually. From what I've read of both, I'm getting heavier Rosa vibes, especially with the heavy emphasis on family, and the slightly more naturalistic and realistic approach to storytelling, and the fact that "Life and Times" is required reading for the crew, but I would love to here someone break it down and actually pull it apart a bit.
2:52 I wonder if that's why people have been going for simpler Lost-like openings (even mashing them with the title cards-- see: Stranger Things). Making it part of the theatrics and setting the mood, rather than being like a mascot you can play with on your own later when you're not actively interacting with the medium. Like, in the former, you're passively experiencing the opening sequence/theme these days, rather than the latter which can act as a stand-alone toy to keep you company and act as a brand ambassador (see: that girl that sings Duck Tales without having seen an episode). I think the former is getting more and more use as time goes by because, for starters, it's better for binge-watching without commercials, whereas the latter hypes you up so you can still be buzzing with anticipation while you sit through the post-opening ads. Another reason could be that it's different, fresh, new, and helps differentiate it from slightly dated materials from, say, the 90's, 80's, and so on, back when longer openings could be leveraged as filler and seem different, fresh, and new in its own right to differentiate from shorter opening sequences like, say I Love Lucy and other shows at the dawn of TV when the credits were short enough to play in the opening. Man, it's all so cool to see how it's evolved over the decades, I wonder what we'll see in 10 or 20 years from now.
Only time I remember Batman in short shorts was when he was bat baby
OK, so the perspective is really throwing me off here. Are RKVC just physically larger? Scott looks small, which feels like he should be farther away, but his elbows are in front of the guys' elbows so he must be in front... I'm getting motion sick trying to figure this out!
we're also slightly angled in a v-ish shape...maybe that and the lens is playing optical tricks on you ;)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Wonder Woman's pants and jacket is what i envision for if she were to go stealth mode while assisting The Team in "Young Justice".
Yeah, that would make sense. Keep them on and closed when staying low-profile, and if the she needs to go public she can just do a Superman.
The new version clearly says lurks, but with the 1987 version no matter how many I hear it, even repeating that one single line over and over I always hear a "ch" at the end of it so I can only say it is watch behinds you
They say if you play the DT theme song backwards you'll hear Satan discuss financial issues with his tax lawyer.
I've never once had the Duck Tales song stuck in my head. Or any pop-style song, for that matter.
are you a mutant?
cool story bro
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Laneysha
I always thought it was 'd-d-d-danger! whats behind you?'
Other times I thought it was 'd-d-d-danger! all around you'
It's simply recalling memories differently is all
Relating to other people on the channel. When are we getting another Super Suit?
Wait a minute... those two guys know the people who wrote the song for Gummy Bears, and a bunch of other songs? Well obviously now you have to do videos on all those and ask those people to come in and do an interview or two over the different songs they have done. Maybe put them in their respective videos (ie part of the interview for Gummy Bears video, and other parts for the other videos).
Best 80s cartoon theme song. Jace and the Wheeled Warriors. I might be aging myself.
It's A woo hoo, and it's lurks, that's how I have been singing it since the show first came out.
just listened to the original and the remake and it is definitely "lurks" in both.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY LANEYSHA!
