I'm sorry, what am I looking at?

[–] sugarcake@lemm.ee 74 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's a reference to the chorus of Ms. Jackson by OutKast.

[–] idefix@sh.itjust.works 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Thanks, I can't say that was a popular song in my country...

[–] geno@lemmy.world 22 points 2 years ago (2 children)

The song is also 23 years old at this point. :D

Hey shut up man. This came out only a few years ago and there's nothing you can say that will change my mind.

Also the 90s are definitely NOT over 20 years ago.

[–] dutchkimble@lemy.lol 3 points 2 years ago

Yep, we're in the new millenium so 1999 was last year

[–] fushuan@lemm.ee 2 points 2 years ago

The 90s were over 30 years ago... :)

[–] RooRLoord420@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I don't like how old this makes me feel...

Four eels, you don't know?

Here is an alternative Piped link(s): https://piped.video/EUVo8epKwv0

Piped is a privacy-respecting open-source alternative frontend to YouTube.

I'm open-source, check me out at GitHub.

It’s funny, piped.video doesn’t work 70% of the time either due to traffic or API changes but this bot just adds salt to the wound

The page always seems to load just fine, but nothing happens when I press the play button. It has never worked for me - am I doing something wrong? (Firefox on Android)

[–] asbestos@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Yup, that’s what I’m talking about

[–] tracy 27 points 2 years ago

Still actually laugh out loud, not just breathe out through my nose, every time I remember this exists.

I will never not upvote this. I can't even remember the actual words to the last line anymore, it's been "I am several fish and not a guy" to me for a decade, and I don't mind not looking it up to remember what the real words are. I prefer this version.

I apologise a trillion times

[–] pinkdrunkenelephants@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

I'm sorry Ms. Jackson (ooh),

I am for real,

I never meant to make your daughter cry,

I apologize a million times

[–] gatelike@feddit.de 14 points 2 years ago

my friend was a high school teacher named Ms. Jackson when this song came out. The kids had a good time 😄

[–] toastus@feddit.de 9 points 2 years ago

An oldie but a goodie.

Hey this is my first time hearing this so it's fresh for me and also gold.

[–] misterwu@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

So fresh and so clean

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago (2 children)

How do 4 eels have a hand?

[–] Alue42@kbin.social 10 points 2 years ago

Two of the eels are the arms and two are the legs. Together they harmonize the oooo's and form the torso.

Don't overthink the fingers, that's artistic license of the comic artist.

The same question as how come combining 5 light will create a silverman in underwear that can fly.
