Island and we went up in the attic once. it had one of those like you know. ladders that you pulled down and it was.

this attic that you know stuff had been. up there since the 30s and 40s it was. very musty and we found these old comedy. records and so we would. you know listen to these old records I. remember one of them was yay boo yay boo. it's lots of fun to do if you like it. Holo yay and if you don't you hullabaloo. and. a comedy record yeah exactly and it was. just these kooky records that we would. listen to and this is you know like long. before internet or anything like that so.

Jeff Ross Mike Sweeney everyone's. staring at me. and it just burbled out. and then I remembered this thing that I. heard uh Johnny Carson said uh he didn't.

say it to me but he said it uh to. somebody years ago he said when you do a. show every night for an hour everything. in you eventually comes out if you do it. long enough yeah and I it's right this. record that I listened to in the rain on. a rainy day you know in 1971 one that's. completely nonsensical out of nowhere. the crowd boo well yay boo yay you know. and it's just crazy I'm gonna go really. back and talk about your birth with. hellofresh you get Farm Fresh yeah three.

Prodigy came out with an album in 1998. 97 and one of the songs was smack my. up and we I went to Coachella one.

year and we were singing it and dancing. it and and you but you just weren't. thinking about it we weren't thinking. about the lyric but that's what they say. throughout the whole song and it's a. it's a great song but that lyric is very. problematic right I'll stick with yaboo. I'll stick with her come a Pippi. longstromf wait how does it. goes. what does it mean though Here Comes. Pippi Longstocking with a hope and the. hay and a hope Shauna oh so it does.

dissolve into Babel basically okay yeah. I suspected that yeah I knew that that. part and and the song is just in your. songs in German I don't know any of it. but your children know it we listen to. it constantly but like I'm just like I'm. not gonna learn this song I don't know. it I just know Lulu Lucas it sounds like. such a Euro song did you see did you. find it let's hear it it's on YouTube. it's just the Lulu Lucas padoski song. and you're two one and a half year old. yeah well soon to be two-year-old twins.

Nielsen's version of hard come a Pippi. longstream you that was the meat of it. you didn't even get to the lululu part. trust me we heard enough wait a minute. and guess what when I hear a lot of. Germans chanting I get nervous. now check this out this is from the.

original Pippi Longstocking series sung. by Pippi Ur cell finger Nielsen oh this. there we go this isn't it I'm sorry it's. the one that has a Samba beat starts. with some bongos. Inger Nelson is the key there I think.

Brown. oh my God hold it they're upset. they're upset that the teacher didn't. burn to death where does this go why. does he sound like that uh oh I don't. know it was a different time. he's doing a funny voice for a funny. record.

this is back when if you wanted to be. funny you needed to use a funny voice. how come SiriusXM isn't calling us for. DJ sets I have no idea I should have a. channel on SiriusXM that's all music you. can't play anything from the attic yeah. music from my grandfather's attic. people get slapped around what happened. to those records I don't know okay.
